2175.0. "ESPRESSO/CAPPUCHINO/COFFEE-LOVERS NOTE" by CSC32::WOLBACH () Wed Dec 27 1989 16:03

    Santa (FINALLY!) brought me a Krupps Espresso maker!  Now, what
    to do with it?  We've mastered basic espresso and cappuchino.
    
    I'm looking for recipes for other types of espresso-based
    drinks.  In particular I'd like the recipe for a beverage called
    Cafe' Breve (guessing at the spelling), an espresso/hot chocolate
    drink. And any other interesting, espresso-based beverages would
    be great also.
    
    
    Thanks-

2175.3espresso in browniesDSTEG::HUGHESThu Jan 04 1990 18:366
    This isn't a drink recipe but I thought you might like it anyways.
    My husband makes great brownies using espresso for the liquid and
    adds lots of cinnamon.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Linda!  
    
    Well, last night I became bold in the kitchen, and have answered
    my own (base note) question.
    
    Here is the recipe which succeeded:
    
    1 (generous) Tablespoon (Dutch-process) cocoa
    1 (generous) teaspoon sugar
    enough water to mix the above into a paste
    
    Add 1 cup of milk; heat gently
    
    Fill large cup or heat-proof glass 1/2 full with cocoa, then 
    fill to the top with espresso.  Top with (generous) helping of
    whipped cream, sprinkle with nutmeg (and/or cinnamon and/or
    chocolate shavings and/or cocoa powder).
    
    Especially nice with biscotti...

2175.5{ frozen Espresso }KAOFS::J_MAJNARICHThu Jan 11 1990 16:0513
    Espresso drinkers may want to try this refreshing summer drink,
    
    Fill a plastic container half full with espresso, add sugar to taste,
    freeze 2-3 hours (until) half frozen, remove from freezer and shake.
    
    The result is a refreshing espresso slush!
    
    
    
    Only in Canada eh !!

2175.6ESPRESSO the Italian way!CESARE::ZABOTMarco Zabot-Adv.Tech.mgr-Turin ACTTue Jan 23 1990 12:028
    I know that this is not a receipe , but try to get some Italian toasted
    coffee. The biggest difference between rest-of-the-world coffee and our
    ESPRESSO come from the source: coffee itself.
    
    CAPPUCCINO ( do you know what the name means ? ) should always be
    served with chocolate powder on top.

"little hat", which I suppose is what the coffee looks like it's wearing.
2175.8CSC32::WOLBACHWed Jan 24 1990 03:1921
    
    
    Indeed, I did buy the brand of expresso coffee that our little
    Italian specialty shop recommended!
    
    Does it HAVE to be sprinkled with chocolate :-)  I really prefer
    nutmeg, although cinnamon is a nice change occassionally.
    
    Cappuchino comes (or so the legend goes) from the Cappuchine monks
    (who probably wore little hats!)...
    
    By the way, I've had to moderate my intake of Cappuchino after
    noticing a definite weight increase in direct proportion to my
    habit of drinking at least one very large cup of Cappuchino (WITH
    whipped cream, and sometimes, in a decadent mood, mixed with hot
    chocolate) every night.  
    
    I really dislike having to practice moderation :-0

2175.9cappuchino sprinklesTOOK::HUGHESWed Jan 24 1990 17:549
    While browsing in a gourmet food store, I saw a bottle of cappuchino
    sprinkles. Of course, it was expensive. I came home and made my own.
    I took a clean spice bottle and put cocoa, cinnamon, and nutmeg in
    the bottle, put the sprinkle cap on and the cover, and shook it up.
    Now I have my own cappuchino sprinkles. It's easier then going into
    the cocoa box every time I want a sprinkle.
