Breve has come to mean any espresso with half-and-half in lieu of milk, regardless of the proportions and whether or not it's foamed. Breve (BREV-ay): A breve is an espresso-based drink that's made like a cappuccino but with half-and-half instead of milk.It may be ordered as a single (about 0.75 ounces) or a double (about 1.5 ounces). A ristretto has a more intense flavor and body and less bitterness. Ristretto ( ree-STREH-toe): A smaller, more concentrated serving of espresso.It's sometimes called a "Hammerhead" or "Shot in the Dark." Variations include the "Black Eye," which is made with two shots of espresso and the "Dead Eye," which is made with three shots. Red-eye: A cup of filtered coffee with one shot of espresso.It also has more bitterness because the extraction process takes longer and pulls more bitterness out of the grounds. If over-extracted, it tastes bitter and metallic. It may sound similar to a Café Americano, but its unique processing results in a different flavor. It has less of a strong taste because it is made with more water. Lungo ( LOON-goh): A "long" pull (extraction) of espresso made with the same amount of finely ground coffee and twice the water of a normal shot.It's popular on its own after dinner in Italy. In the U.S., many consume it with milk and/or sugar throughout the day. The Americano was supposedly invented by European baristas for American soldiers during World War II to replicate Americans' preferred drip-style coffee. Caffé Americano: A shot of espresso combined with enough hot water to fill a six-ounce cup.It's the standard espresso size in many coffeehouses. Doppio ( DOH-pee-OH): Doppio is Italian for double and it means that you want a double shot of espresso.Shot: One serving of espresso (about one ounce) prepared at normal strength.
