The ultimate home barista experience: let’s discover the most famous coffee and milk-based drinks…and much more!

Coffee, milk, hot water: three simple ingredients formany beverages.

Caffè

Ristretto

“Ristretto” is the Italian for “reduced”, and, actually, this drink can be defined as a “small espresso”. Usually, it is prepared with a fine ground blend, and the extraction time is shortened, compared to the classic espresso. In just 30 ml, you can taste a strong, decisive and more concentrated flavour. Anyway, opposite to what many believe, ristretto has a lower caffeine content than a normal espresso. In fact, as water does not stay in contact with ground coffee for a long time, less caffeine is released into the cup.

Caffè

Espresso

A drink with a rich and full aroma, characterized by a hazelnut layer of “crema naturale” (naturalcream) on top. This is the perfect description for the authentic Italian espresso, invented by Achille Gaggia and now beloved all over the world. The tradition says that it should be served in a small cup, usually a ceramic one. The standard quantity is around 40 ml, and the extraction time is between 25 and 30 seconds. Amongst all kinds of coffee that you can enjoy at a bar, espresso is definitely the most known and appreciated. A true symbol of the Italian culture.

Caffè

Espresso lungo

“Lungo” is the Italian for “long”. As the name says, the extraction time is extended, compared to the classic espresso. The result is an 80 ml drink with a more dense and intense flavor, rich in caffeine. It is perfect for the ones who like to start the day with an energy shot! Then, if the taste is too strong for you, with Gaggia Cadorna you can easily balance it by adjusting the aroma to a lighter option.

Caffè

Coffee

A beverage with a lighter and more delicate taste. Usually, it is 120 ml long, and thus needs to be served in a medium-sized cup. It is ideal to sip with calm, in order to appreciate its various organoleptic nuances.

Caffè

Americano

A must for American and British people, the “Americano” can now be found almost everywhere in the world. It is perfect to sip during a brunch, with both salty and sweet food. Gaggia Cadorna prepares it by adding 110 ml of hot water to an espresso. In this way, by brewing water only in a second moment, the taste and aroma of coffee are fully enhanced and exalted.

Caffè

Cappuccino

If you have been to Italy, we are sure you have tried this true classic. With Gaggia Cadorna, you can appreciate the same flavor also at home, with one click! First, the machine brews an espresso and then it dispenses hot frothed milk. A few seconds and they will slightly blend, leaving an incredible foamy texture on the surface. Now, it’s time to taste: if you close your eyes, you will feel like in an Italian coffee bar!

Caffè

Cappuccino XL

A larger version of the classic cappuccino. Gaggia’s recipe includes more coffee than the standard version (80 ml, a double espresso) and more milk (180 ml), for a neverending pleasure! Perfect for a special breakfast.

Caffè

Cafè cortado

It is said that this special coffee comes from Spain or Argentina. It owes its name to the fact that is “cut” (cortado, in Spanish, means “cut”) with a small quantity of warm milk. Usually, it is served in a small glass cup with a metal handle. It is particularly appreciated in Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Brazil. It is enjoyed during various moments of the day.

Caffè

Flat white

Originally from Australia, this hot drink is composed by a double espresso (80 ml) and equal quantity of frothed milk. As the milk stays liquid and not very compact, it blends with coffee. This beverage is usually served in a tall glass.

Caffè

Cafè au lait

Symbol of the French tradition, it is perfect for a sweet break. Equal parts of coffee (90 ml) and hot milk, with no foam, are blended together for a unique taste. It is usually served in a big cup, paired with butter biscuits and typical French puff pastries.

Caffè

Frothed milk

Characterized by a compact and steady cream, with a velvety texture. It can be used to prepare other beverages, or it can be enjoyed simply as it is.

Caffè

Latte macchiato

Another Italian classic, ever-present in many Italian bars, and nowadays beloved worldwide. Milk – 240 ml, according to Gaggia’s recipe – is frothed and brewed, followed by an espresso. In order to appreciate the beautiful nuances of this beverage, we suggest to use a tall transparent glass. In this way, you will see three different layers – hot milk, coffee and milk froth on top – just slightly blended.

Caffè

Latte macchiato XL

A doubly delicious version of the traditional latte macchiato, with bigger quantities of coffee and milk.

Caffè

Hot water

Last but not least, hot water. All Gaggia Cadorna machines can dispense it, so you can make infusions, teas and instant beverages. No limits to your creativity!
