Capresso Coffee Ice Cream

Ten ½ cup servings

– ½ cup strongly brewed Capresso West Coast Coffee

– 2 cups heavy cream

– ½ cup milk

If you do not have an ice cream maker, simply pour mixture into a freezer-safe baking dish or study bowl and place in the freezer. After 45 minutes, remove dish from freezer and stir vigorously with a spatula to break up any frozen sections. Return mixture to freezer. Repeat process every 30 minutes until the ice cream is completely frozen. It will take about 2-3 hours to reach the proper consistency.

Easy Solution: New Capresso Cleaning Solution

Is your Capresso drip-coffee maker, espresso machine or electric tea kettle part of your everyday routine? Show it some TLC with the new Capresso Cleaning Solution.

Capresso Cleaning Solution makes cleaning speedy and simple, so you have more time to enjoy sipping your favorite beverage. For those who love the full flavor and freshness of coffee and tea time and again, it helps maintain the quality of any espresso machines, coffeemakers and electric water kettles.

Cleaning and maintenance is essential for maximum performance. Without scheduled maintenance every 2 to 3 months, limescale builds up, resulting in lengthened brew time and a bitter taste in coffee, espresso or tea.

Descaling your machine has never been so easy and convenient as with the Capresso Cleaning Solution. To learn more about the new Capresso Cleaning Solution, click here.

Espresso-Based Beverages At Home

Espresso-Based Beverages At Home

Ristretto, Macchiato, Cappuccino, Mocha, Americano… Most coffee lovers have heard of these gourmet drinks at one time or another, but how many have attempted to prepare these coffee house espresso-based beverages at home?

Creating these coffee house drinks in your own kitchen is simple with our Guide to Espresso-Based Beverages. We recommend having a Capresso espresso machine and a Capresso automatic milk frother on hand when preparing these recipes.

Guide to Espresso-Based Beverages

Drink Name	Preparation
Espresso	1-1.5 ounce shot of coffee brewed at high pressure for 20-25 seconds. Espresso is the basis for many gourmet coffee specialty drinks.
Ristretto	0.5-0.7 ounce shot of coffee brewed at high pressure for less than 20 seconds. The ristretto has a very intense flavor that is bolder with more body than a traditional espresso.
Lungo	2-4 ounce shot of coffee brewed at high pressure for 45-60 seconds. The lungo is more bitter than espresso as more water is extracting the coffee’s flavor.
Macchiato	A shot of espresso topped with a spoonful of frothed milk served in a demitasse cup.
Espresso con Panna	A shot of espresso topped with whipped cream in a demitasse cup.
Espresso Affogato	A scoop of gelato or ice cream “drowned” in a shot of espresso.
Cappuccino	A shot of espresso topped with 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk in a large cup.
Latte	A shot of espresso topped with 2/3 steamed milk and a few spoonfuls of frothed milk in a large cup.
Latte Macchiato	Fill a cup with steamed milk and top with a few spoonfuls of frothed milk. Pour a shot of espresso on top of the foam to “mark” the latte.
Hazelnut Latte	A shot of espresso mixed with hazelnut syrup, topped with steamed milk and a few spoonfuls of frothed milk.
Vanilla Latte	A shot of espresso mixed with vanilla syrup, topped with steamed milk and a few spoonfuls of frothed milk.
Caramel Macchiato	Fill a cup with steamed milk and caramel sauce, and then top with a few spoonfuls of frothed milk. Pour a shot of espresso on top of the foam to “mark” the latte. Add caramel sauce to the top if desired.
