Caffè espresso

Espresso:
25 cl of coffee in 25 seconds

The heart of every Mio Cafè coffee drink and one of the hardest to get right.
A single espresso consists of 7 grams of coffee, tamped just right. The espresso should pour out of the handle like 'honey off a spoon' -not too fast and not too slow. When our baristas train in making espresso they time their pour. The perfect espresso will have a good golden brown 'crema' which reforms whenstirred.

Cappuccino
25 cl of espresso +10/15cl of whipped milk

The classic Italan morning tradition. Our unique blend of espresso combined with steamed velvety milk and sealed with a frothy dome. And yes you can have a light dusting of chocolate powder which provides an optional finishing touch although most Italians would refrain!

Americano
2,5cl of espresso + 2,5cl of water

Originally created by American G.I.s who found the traditional Italian espresso a little too strong for their tastes.
The Americano features two or more shots of our rich blend of espresso, diluted with an equal amount of hot water. You should still see the 'crema' (although lighter) indicating that the espresso was correctly made.

Espresso ristretto

A big hit with the espresso aficionados.
A shorter extraction of our distinctively rich secret blend, made with less water for a shorter, stronger and more intense espresso.An acquired taste.
