![]() ![]() ![]() This means that if you want to measure the brew ratio accurately, you will need to keep your espresso cup on a scale while your espresso machine pulls the shot, so you can measure your yield by weight. Measuring yield in weight keeps things consistent. Plus, different coffee beans might not necessarily weigh the same given the same volume. This is intentional as if we were to measure our yield in terms of volume, we would get inconsistent results depending on the amount of crema that the specific coffee shot produced. It's worth noting here that measuring both the dose and the yield should be done in weight measurement rather than in volumetric measurements. That same ounce of ground coffee could also make a three-ounce Long Shot, as this drink has a brew ratio of 1:3. (you can look at the website or the box/sleeve and it will tell you whether or not to brew the capsule as ristretto, espresso, or lungo (or sometimes, it can be made two different ways). Since it’s hard to find a latte in the super-sized United States smaller than 12 ounces. With that said, the ristretto capsule (and a few others) are designed to be made at about half the size of a normal espresso shot. The machine will put the same amount of water through each time so the shot will not be an actual ristretto or lungo shot. The stronger/more bitter ones are called 'ristretto', weaker are 'lungo'. ![]() Without the foam it’s officially known as a Flat White. I always felt that the pod names in nespresso were more marketing for their 'flavours' than anything else. One shot of espresso is mixed with 6 to 8 ounces of steamed milk, then topped with foam - if you prefer. Ristretto and Long Shots (also known as “lungos” - Italian for long) are characterized by their brew ratio.īrew ratio refers to the proportion of ground coffee that you use when making an espresso (the dose) compared to the amount of liquid coffee that ends up in your cup (the yield).įor example, if you make one ounce of liquid coffee, and you want a dose to yield ratio of 1:1 to make a Ristretto, you would want to use one ounce of ground coffee as your dose for this. This is very popular drink in America probably due to its sweet, mellow flavor. Ristretto vs Long Shot: A Difference in Brew Ratio ![]()
