Espresso – The Perfect Pairing for Your Ice Cream

Rich, intense, and perfectly balanced—our Espresso is the ultimate coffee experience, made fresh to order in our ice cream stores. Crafted with precision using our portafilter machine and freshly ground coffee beans, each shot of espresso offers a bold, aromatic flavor that pairs beautifully with your favorite desserts, like our classic Spaghettieis. The espresso’s deep notes create a perfect contrast to the sweet creaminess of ice cream, elevating your treat to a whole new level.

Looking for a twist? Try one of our espresso variations, such as the indulgent Affogato (espresso poured over a scoop of ice cream) or the creamy Espresso Macchiato.

Why Is Espresso Better Than Coffee?

While both espresso and coffee come from the same beans, the brewing process sets espresso apart. Espresso is made by forcing hot water through finely ground coffee at high pressure, resulting in a concentrated shot with a rich flavor and velvety crema on top. Here’s why espresso often wins:

• Intense Flavor: Espresso offers a bold, robust taste that’s smooth and full-bodied, unlike the diluted flavor of drip coffee.

• Faster and Fresher: A shot of espresso takes less than 30 seconds to brew, delivering maximum flavor in minimal time.

• Perfect Balance: Espresso’s concentrated nature means you get the essence of coffee without needing large volumes—ideal for pairing with desserts.

Simply put, espresso is coffee at its purest and most refined form—a small cup packed with big flavor.

When Should You Drink Espresso?

Espresso isn’t just for mornings; it’s a versatile drink perfect for many moments throughout the day:

• After a Meal: In true Italian style, espresso is the ideal post-meal pick-me-up. Its bold flavor and small size make it the perfect digestive aid.

• With Desserts: Pair it with sweet treats like Spaghettieis or a slice of cake. The bitterness of espresso balances out the sweetness, creating a harmonious experience.

• Midday Boost: When you need a quick energy lift during a busy day, a shot of espresso provides an instant jolt without the heaviness of a large coffee.

• Afternoon Indulgence: Try an Affogato for a luxurious coffee-dessert combo—warm espresso poured over cold ice cream is simply irresistible!

Espresso fits seamlessly into any part of your day, offering a burst of energy and a moment of pure coffee bliss.

Is Espresso Unhealthier Than Coffee?

Contrary to common belief, espresso is not unhealthier than coffee—in fact, it’s often the opposite! Here’s why:

• Lower Caffeine Content: While espresso is more concentrated, a single shot (about 30 ml) contains less caffeine than a full cup of drip coffee. You get a quick boost without overloading on caffeine.

• Fewer Calories: Espresso is naturally low in calories—around 3 calories per shot—making it a healthy, guilt-free option when enjoyed without sugar or milk.

• Rich in Antioxidants: Like coffee, espresso is loaded with antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and support overall health.

The key is moderation. When enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle, espresso is not only safe but also a flavorful, energizing choice for coffee lovers.
