A smaller and even more condensed form of espresso, the ristretto is considered by some purists to be the perfect way to serve coffee as it produces a bolder, fuller coffee flavour. ESPRESSO MACCHIATO The macchiato is a variation on the standard ESPRESSO CON PANNA espresso which is created by adding a measure of steamed milk to the top of the cup. Italian for "espresso with cream", an espresso con AMERICANO panna is, as its name suggests, a standard espresso that has a layer of whipped cream added I to the top.
