Ristretto
A ristretto is the coffee of choice
for the truly devoted. It’s a super
short espresso poured faster, with
more pressure on the ‘tamp’ (the
thing you squash the coffee with)
than normal for a bolder, fuller
flavour. It’s the first and therefore
the sweetest part of the pull.
Sometimes the coffee can be
ground finer so less water is
allowed to pass through for
a stronger and more potent shot.
The best thing about a ristretto
– apart from the power pack of
fl avour – is that you’ll bounce off
the walls for the rest of the day.
Yippee!
