Coffee Drinks • Ratio • Taste
Espresso, ristretto and doppio look similar in small cups, but they are not simply three sizes of the same order. The key factors are the amount of coffee used, the yield and the recipe.
The Terms
- Espresso
- The basic recipe for a concentrated extraction. Exact values vary depending on the bean, machine and desired result.
- Ristretto
- Prepared with a lower yield than espresso; often more concentrated and full-bodied, but not automatically stronger in terms of total caffeine.
- Doppio
- A double espresso or a recipe with a correspondingly larger amount of coffee and yield.
Why Milliliters Alone Are Not Enough
Crema, grind size and the bean change the volume. If you want to compare, work with weight, time and taste instead of just the fill level of the cup.
Troubleshooting
- Sour and thin: Check the recipe, grind size or extraction.
- Bitter and dry: possibly over-extracted or prepared at too high a temperature.
- Inconsistent: Document the dose, distribution and brewing time.
Which Cup?
A small, thick-walled cup retains temperature better. For a doppio, it can offer more volume without being huge. Preheating helps more than a complicated cup myth.
