Caffè Americano

Rich, full-bodied espresso with hot water in true European style.

In Europe, coffee is essentially espresso – which, in America, isn’t very much coffee. To create a caffè americano – a coffee that satisfies the American preference for more sips in every cup – Europeans simply add hot water to their espresso. While the americano is similar in strength and taste to American-style brewed coffee, there are subtle differences achieved by pulling a fresh shot of espresso for the beverage base. The best way to discover these nuances, of course, is to try a cup yourself.

DID YOU KNOW

Whereas water is added to espresso after it’s been extracted in a caffè americano, a lungo, or long espresso, is made by passing more water through the espresso machine.

Caffè Latte

Rich, full-bodied espresso in steamed milk, lightly topped with foam.

This is the original coffeehouse classic. And like most classics, part of its appeal comes from its simplicity. A caffè latte is simply a shot or two of bold, tasty espresso with fresh, sweet steamed milk over it. Some prefer to add syrup or extra espresso to the recipe. Some maintain that it is entirely perfect as is.

DID YOU KNOW

The first English language use of the term caffè latte is credited to American author William Dean Howells in his 1867 essay “Italian Journeys”.

Caffè Mocha

Espresso with bittersweet mocha sauce and steamed milk. Topped with sweetened whipped cream.

There’s no question chocolate and coffee are flavors that meant for each other. Both are rich and full of depth. Where one is creamy, the other is roasty. They complement each other perfectly. And when they come together under a fluffy cloud of sweetened whipped cream, you’ll wish their union would last forever.

DID YOU KNOW

A few centuries ago, the port of Mocha in Yemen was a major center for the coffee trade and its name became associated with the chocolaty-tasting coffee bean that was its hottest export.

Cappuccino

Espresso with steamed milk, topped with a deep layer of foam.

With less milk than a latte, cappuccino offers a stronger espresso flavor and a luxurious texture. To make it properly requires much skill and attentiveness. Arguably the most important part is frothing the foam to velvety perfection as the milk steams – something our baristas take great care to achieve. The milky moustache that clings to your upper lip is proof we’ve made yours right. And may we say, you wear it well.

DID YOU KNOW

Cappuccino is considered mostly a breakfast beverage in Italy, while espressos are enjoyed any time of day.

Espresso Macchiato

Espresso topped with steamed milk foam.

Sometimes a touch is just enough. And so it is with the slight dab of foam we set atop our signature espresso in this classic European-style beverage.

And that’s the last thing we’d want when preparing your perfect shot.

Salted Caramel Mocha

Espresso and steamed milk, blended with mocha sauce and toffee nut flavored syrup. Topped with sweetened whipped cream, caramel drizzle and a mixture of turbinado sugar and sea salt.

Fall is full of sprinkles and drizzles. There are the sprinkles of rain falling from the cooling air. Drizzles that drip from awnings and changing leaves, … but not all that sprinkles or drizzles dampens our spirits.

Take for instance the sprinkles of sugar and sea salt atop a drizzle of buttery caramel all layered over sweetened whipped cream on our Salted Caramel Mocha. No rainy day could ever ruin this chocolaty treat. So why add the sprinkle of salt? Well, a tiny sprinkle of our premium sea salt and sugar topping deepens the rich flavors in this luxurious combination. Salty and sweet is the perfect way to warm up the rainy days of fall.

Caffè Americano

Rich, full-bodied espresso with hot water in true European style.

In Europe, coffee is essentially espresso – which, in America, isn’t very much coffee. To create a caffè americano – a coffee that satisfies the American preference for more sips in every cup – Europeans simply add hot water to their espresso. While the americano is similar in strength and taste to American-style brewed coffee, there are subtle differences achieved by pulling a fresh shot of espresso for the beverage base. The best way to discover these nuances, of course, is to try a cup yourself.

DID YOU KNOW

Whereas water is added to espresso after it’s been extracted in a caffè americano, a lungo, or long espresso, is made by passing more water through the espresso machine.

Caffè Latte

Rich, full-bodied espresso in steamed milk, lightly topped with foam.

This is the original coffeehouse classic. And like most classics, part of its appeal comes from its simplicity. A caffè latte is simply a shot or two of bold, tasty espresso with fresh, sweet steamed milk over it. Some prefer to add syrup or extra espresso to the recipe. Some maintain that it is entirely perfect as is.

Caffè Mocha

Espresso with bittersweet mocha sauce and steamed milk. Topped with sweetened whipped cream.

There’s no question chocolate and coffee are flavors that meant for each other. Both are rich and full of depth. Where one is creamy, the other is roasty. They complement each other perfectly. And when they come together under a fluffy cloud of sweetened whipped cream, you’ll wish their union would last forever.

Cappuccino

Espresso with steamed milk, topped with a deep layer of foam.

With less milk than a latte, cappuccino offers a stronger espresso flavor and a luxurious texture. To make it properly requires much skill and attentiveness.

The milky moustache that clings to your upper lip is proof we’ve made yours right. And may we say, you wear it well.

Cappuccino is considered mostly a breakfast beverage in Italy, while espressos are enjoyed any time of day.
