Recipe 1: Lavazza Espresso
The classic espresso is a must for every coffee lover. With Lavazza coffee, you get an intense and aromatic espresso you can enjoy every day.
Ingredients:
- 7-9 grams of Lavazza espresso beans
- Water (93-96 degrees Celsius)
Instructions:
- Grind the Lavazza espresso beans finely. A good espresso grind looks like fine sand.
- Fill the portafilter of your espresso machine with the ground coffee. Press the coffee down firmly with a tamper.
- Switch on the machine and let the water run through the coffee for about 25-30 seconds. The ideal amount is 30 ml of espresso.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the intense flavour and full aroma of Lavazza.
Tip: For the best flavour, use freshly ground beans and an espresso machine with the right pressure setting (around 9 bar).
Recipe 2: Lavazza Cappuccino
A good cappuccino has the perfect balance between espresso and steamed milk. With Lavazza you create a creamy, smooth cappuccino with a deliciously rich aroma.
Ingredients:
- 1 shot of Lavazza espresso (see recipe above)
- 120 ml whole milk
- Cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions:
- First, prepare a Lavazza espresso as described above.
- Heat the milk and froth it with a milk frother until you have a creamy consistency.
- Slowly pour the warm milk over the espresso, holding back a little foam.
- Add the milk foam on top of the coffee and, if you like, sprinkle on some cocoa powder.
- Enjoy your homemade Lavazza cappuccino!
Tip: Keep the milk temperature around 65 degrees for the best foam without scorching the milk.
