How to make a Doppio
How to make a Doppio??? Like the Macchiato, it sounds really exotic, but is
Doppio COffee
really easy to make.
Doppio in Italian means ‘double’. If you want a strong coffee, you ask for an Espresso. If you need a supercharged coffee, then the Doppio is your coffee.
Steps for making a Doppio
To make an excellent cup of Espresso Doppio, all that you have to do is follow these steps:
1. Get hold of some dark roasted espresso beans. Oily-looking is the choice bean here.
2. You want to grind these espresso beans until they are very fine (learn about grinding for an espresso machine).
3. Pack the grinds into the group (handle) of the espresso machine. Pack the group full and hard. The will drive the full taste and coffee kick. The group filter basket should be a double.
4. Place a single cup under the group. Turn on your espresso machine. It may labor more than normal (you did pack the grinds tight, but not too tight?). You should see a hazel brown crema appear at the surface of the coffee when its finished.
So what’s the difference between an espresso and a doppio?
Well, an Espresso Doppio uses the two cup coffee basket in the espresso machine’s group, but it goes into one cup. That’s it! I told you it was easy…
Now all you have to do is enjoy your Doppio!!!
