Affogato with Pistachio Recipe

by

This is an incredibly delicious espresso dessert and so easy to make. It originated in Italy, but it’s popular everywhere. The ingredients for this recipe are: a double shot of espresso, a small vanilla Hagen Daz (100 ml) ice cream, and crushed pistachios.

The ice cream should be nicely frozen, you don’t want it too soft for this recipe because the very hot espresso will melt through it. Then top it with pistachios and the flavor is just lovely. You can use walnuts, peanuts, cookies, or your favorite topping. It’ll turn out great.

If you don’t have an espresso machine, then that’s not a problem. If you use a Moka pot you can use the coffee you brew from that. Strong coffee will work too.

The ice cream provides sweetness and diary, so it’ll come out great regardless the method. Although in a traditional sense, and best method, a shot or two of espresso and vanilla ice cream/gelato is the correct recipe.

Enjoy!

Americano Coffee with Profitec GO

by

A very simple way to make a delicious Americano coffee. Start by making an espresso like you normally do and simply add hot water direct from the group head of your espresso machine. I like to use a double espresso with a 2.5:1 water to coffee ratio for the shot. You can also go 3:1 and the coffee will be good.

For americanos, I prefer high-altitude medium dark roasts. The flavor is much more pleasant than the burnt flavor variety at cafes. It’s certainly, a little bit mellower but the taste is just right and depending on the type of coffee beans you grind, you’ll enjoy the notes.
