Espresso Con Panna

[Jose Miguel]

Do you think Espresso and Whipped Cream is Gross ???

[Sarah Leanne Barnett]

Occasionally we get a doppio regular who wants a variation of their usual ristretto deliciousness. They want something sweeter and creamier, but not the sugary latte mess that mainstream coffee regulars buy daily. I almost always suggest a cubano espresso con panna. The flavor play on turbinado sugar vs. espresso and cold premium grade whipped cream on hot crema-dosed java is unparalleled in simplicity and approachability to this specific customers needs. Sometimes I even drizzle blackstrap molasses over the top. Leathery sweet beauty.

Nooooooo! not gross....delish! one of my favourites. Another variation I like to do is drop a couple of ice cubes in and a touch of cane sugar...it's like dessert

OK OK I give up! I confess!!!!

I don't use whipped cream but I do put a chocolate brownie in a cup and then run a double espresso over it.

Then I eat it with a spoon.

My co-workers think I need intervention. :(.

I think espresso with anything is gross. <];^) just kidding. Depends on what your drinking it for. If you want to be a purest drink it straight. If you want to accent it go for it. Kind of like a good whiskey. No I take that back. If I spend 40.00 or more a bottle I'm not mixing it with anything.
Unlike whiskey, espresso does go with many things well IMO. Let your taste buds wander in the field of coffee bliss, and experiment.
Why are we here anyway. Let's have fun with it.

It is all up to you, if you like single origin espresso why would you ruin it adding whipped cream? but it is a matter of taste.

Fraser,
I absolutely love it.... Can't wait to try it. I can't tell you how many closet chocolate guys our shop has brought out of the closet. Who said chocolate is a girls thing.

hahaha, depends on who pulls the espresso. I like my pull to be a little lighter then what most people pull. I think it is better when a bit darker then my preference and even the whip cream can't make it better for me. lol :)

I'm a black espresso purist

I don't like anything in my espresso, including sugar.

But sometimes..... just sometimes... I do like a caffe corretto, whether that's with brandy or whisky.....

And then.... sometimes.... just sometimes.... I do think a litle cream on top is nice, but not necessarily whipped, though.... :-)
