Tipos de espresso (Espresso variations)

 

Caffè espresso: o termo formal italiano. Na maioria dos países, apenas espresso, 30 mL extraídos em aproximadamente 25 segundos. Em Portugal diz-se simplesmente café.

• Ristretto (curto): com menos volume e água, conseqüentemente um sabor mais puro e forte, 10–20 ml. Em Portugal diz-se simplesmente café curto ou italiana.
• Lungo (longo): mais água (quase o dobro) passa pelo café moído, resultando em um sabor mais fraco, 40 mL. Em Portugal diz-se simplesmente café comprido ou cheio.
• Doppio (duplo): dois shots de espresso numa xícara, aprox. 60 mL.
• Caffè macchiato (manchado): uma pequena quantidade de espuma de leite vaporizado sobre um espresso; ordem invertida no Starbucks e outras cafeterias para outros tipos de macchiatos, com espresso adicionado a uma grande quantidade de leite vaporizado.
• Cappuccino: tradicionalmente, uma bebida com ⅓ espresso, ⅓ leite vaporizado e ⅓ de espuma de leite vaporizado, mas em alguns lugares do mundo se acrescenta um pouco de pó de chocolate e/ou canela.
• Latte: abreviação de caffè latte, ou café com leite, bebida baseada no espresso com uma quantidade igual de leite vaporizado, com pouca ou nenhuma espuma de leite vaporizado. Em Portugal diz-se meia-de-leite ou galão (maior do que a meia-de-leite e servido em copo).
• Flat White: bebida de café muito popular na Austrália e Nova Zelândia, feito com ⅓ de espresso e ⅔ de leite vaporizado.
• Cortado: espresso "cortado" com uma pequena quantidade de leite quente para reduzir a acidez. Em Portugal diz-se pingo (no Porto) ou garoto (em Lisboa).
• Mocha: um latte com chocolate.
