Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

This has to be the easiest coffee recipe there is. It’s only two ingredients, a shot of espresso and a square of chocolate. I love watching the chocolate melt as the shot of coffee is slowly poured over the top (it’s the simple things in life that sometimes make our day lol). This simple espresso coffee recipe goes great with a chocolate croissant for breakfast. You should definitely give this espresso coffee recipe a try. It’s rich in taste and very delicious.

What is Espresso?

An espresso is a shot of coffee made using finely ground coffee beans. Using a coffee machine to force hot water through the coffee grounds at high pressure, normally at about 9 bars, this then makes a highly concentrated shot of coffee. I’m using the new Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine, and it pulls the perfect espresso shot. It creates a fabulous crema on top of each shot, just like the ones you would buy from Starbucks.

Espresso shot size?

A single shot of espresso is 40mls or 1.35 fl oz, each shot uses around 7 to 9 grams of finely ground coffee beans. A double shot of espresso is obviously double a single shot making it 80mls or 2.70 fl oz.

Where can I buy espresso cups from?

I bought my glass espresso cups from Amazon, they look super cute yet sophisticated. This set comes as a set of four with matching saucers. These espresso cups and saucers are a great price and are easy to clean; they're also dishwasher safe too. I love this set of four, so if you're thinking of treating yourself to your very own espresso cups, I would recommend this little set.
