Coffeehouse Specialty Coffee Drink Definitions and Recipes
Caffe Latte
Also known as French as Cafe au Lait and the Spanish as Cafe con Leche. A double-shot of espresso (about 3 ounces) mixed with about 5 ounces of steamed milk. To make this recipe with a Tassimo, use any of the Latte creamer T-Discs such as the Tassimo Latte Milk Creamer, 8-Count T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers and an espresso t-disc such as the Gevalia Espresso (Dark) T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers
Espresso
The classic espresso recipe: a single shot of espresso, approximately 1-1/2 ounces. Best served in a pre-heated espresso cup. There are a few nice Tassimo espressos, one is Gevalia Espresso (Dark) T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers
Espresso Dopio (Double Espresso)
Double the quantity of espresso to about 3 ounces for double the pleasure. Typically served in a cappuccino cup.
