What is a Barista shaker for?
Nespresso™ barista shaker keep your crema smooth with every pour with the built-in half-filter or add more ingredients to your coffee creations by just tilting it around. With straight lines and a brushed finish, the shaker has a contemporary look to make all your icy recipes, up to 600 ml. When used carefully, a nespresso machine can actually work for up to 10 years. So, even if you have to replace your nespresso maker due to changes in your latte’s taste, you’re likely to have gotten your money’s worth.Yet the crema produced by a Nespresso is inauthentic, generated by the machine to provide the illusion of a true espresso, lacking depth and adding nothing to the flavour complexity of the drink.
What are the two types of Nespresso machines?
At Nespresso, we offer two unique coffee systems, the Original and Vertuo. The Original range of coffee machines offers a classic espresso experience, using high-pressure extraction and the perfect balance between water temperature, quantity and speed. Standard Espresso Shot Sizes Here is the quick breakdown regarding volume: A standard single shot of espresso is 1 fluid ounce (approx.Espresso and Lungo are the two main coffee extraction sizes used with the Original system. An Espresso is a 40 mL shot of coffee (small cup button) and contains coffee of a finer grind. A Lungo is a 110 mL shot of coffee (the large cup button). The Lungo capsules contain coffee of a coarser grind.A double espresso, also known as a “doppio” in Italian, is simply two shots of espresso served in one cup. It contains double the amount of ground coffee (typically around 14-18 grams) and yields about 2 ounces (60 ml) of brewed coffee.On a Nespresso® U model, there are three different buttons / cup sizes to choose from – Lungo, Espresso or Ristretto. We recommend a cup size of 100 ml for a Lungo, 40 ml for an Espresso and 25 ml for a Ristretto.
