Let’s start with a first roundup of five coffee drinks that we can enjoy in the comfort of home with our Gaggia Cadorna.
ESPRESSO
The classic coffee-based drink known all over the world for its rich aroma and characteristic hazelnut cream. The standard quantity is about 40 ml while the extraction time is short, about 25-30 seconds. The drink is usually served in a small ceramic cup to preserve the extraction temperature.
RISTRETTO
Ristretto or short coffee is a drink with a strong and decisive flavor concentrated in about 25-30 ml and obtained through a reduced extraction time. The ground blend is very fine and the contact time of the coffee with the water is very short. This allows for a lower release of caffeine.
ESPRESSO LUNGO
“Espresso Lungo” is a drink characterized by a longer extraction time and a higher quantity of coffee than the traditional drink. The long espresso is made up of 80 ml of drink and has a more intense flavor with a denser texture.
COFFEE
This drink is characterized by an amount of about 120 ml and a more delicate flavor than traditional espresso. The drink is usually served in a medium to large cup. Gaggia Cadorna allows you to change intensity and length using the customization profiles.
CAFFÈ AMERICANO
Caffè Americano is a very popular drink in the American and British tradition, ideal to accompany sweet and savory foods. The methods of preparing the drink with Gaggia Cadorna include dispensing an espresso coffee first followed by the dispensing of about 110ml of hot water.
