The Essential Guide To Italian Coffee Specialties
Use this selection to help you choose the best fit for your entertaining needs.
No. 1
Caffè
Quite simply, caffè is the Italian word for coffee however it may also refer to an establishment. More often times than not, a caffè beverage refers to a strong shot of black coffee, the espresso. Serve this classic “pick me up” in the afternoon or after a meal.
No. 2
Caffè Latte
Italian’s drink coffee prepared with milk during the morning hours of the day. A Caffè Latte is a beverage prepared with espresso & steamed milk. Typically, expect less foam over the surface of the drink. Pair with a cornetto, a sweet crescent-shaped pastry much like the French croissant that are often times filled with custard, jam or cream.
No. 3
Cappuccino
Cappuccino is a beverage that is also typically served before 11 am. Unlike the Caffè Latte, that is made with espresso & steamed milk, a bit of foam is added to the drink just before serving. Pair with a selection of crisp cookies such as Pecan Biscotti or Chocolate-Pignoli Biscotti.
