with hot water added to taste.

A single dose of espresso in a cup topped with steamed milk,
1 ⁄ coffee and 1 ⁄ milk.

Cappuccino
The real thing is served very light and luke warm with
1 ⁄ espresso to 1 ⁄ steamed milk and a generous final third of

creamy froth. For added finesse, hold a piece of card over
one half of the the cappuccino before dusting with chocolate.
Macchiato
A shot of espresso served short in a 70ml demitasse and
stained with a dash of finely frothed milk.

pain au chocolate or sweet biscotti. This blend of
