Why I’m excited about Cuisinart’s first-ever Espresso Bar Collection

The announcement of these espresso makers caught my eye

Cuisinart Espresso Bar Collection — Cuisinart

Cuisinart recently debuted its first-ever Espresso Bar Collection, which immediately grabbed my attention. This stunning trio of espresso machines, designed for home use, meets a wide range of brewing preferences for all coffee lovers. As an espresso lover, what got me most excited about this announcement was the cold extraction technology, a feature designed to make iced espresso beverages in under five minutes. I love making iced Americanos at home — and the new Cuisinart Espresso Bar Collection seems like the perfect kitchen companion for doing so.

Upon first glance at the product images, the super-slim model (Cuisinart Espresso Bar Slim Espresso Machine (EM-160) was the first I noticed. If you’ve been looking for a sleek espresso maker with limited counter space, this model might catch your eye, too. Made specifically for compact kitchens, this model features a hidden 1.5L removable water reservoir on the back, allowing it to deliver powerful performance without occupying precious counter space.

All about ristretto: The tiny espresso shot that packs a powerful punch

Small in volume, bold in flavor

Ristretto shot

A ristretto shot is so tiny that it can almost leave you questioning why anyone would want such a small coffee. This tiny "restricted" espresso shot is made without about one-half to two-thirds of the water used in a standard espresso shot. So what's the appeal in drinking a cup of coffee so small? As it turns out, bigger isn't always better (especially in the world of coffee). Up until recently, I hadn't developed an appreciation for this mini or "short" espresso shot. Here's everything you need to know about ristretto, its use, and what makes it appealing.
About the ristretto shot

YouTube coffee expert from Golden Brown Coffee describes that the word ristretto translates to "restrained" or "held back," which got its name from grinding the coffee much finer than traditional espresso. The finely ground coffee would then hold back the water during brewing, causing a slow-drip brewing process that creates roughly half the amount of liquid as an espresso.

Doppio espresso: What to know about this Italian double shot

What to know about ordering a double shot of espresso

Cup of espresso

If I order plain espresso shots at a coffee shop, I'll probably order a doppio espresso. A doppio espresso (doppio meaning double in Italian) is the same as a double espresso order. One shot doesn't seem like enough when ordering espresso shots, yet a triple espresso contains a pretty hefty amount of caffeine. Of course, two espresso shots are a happy medium -- hence the doppio espresso order.

A doppio espresso is easy to brew at home, whether using a regular espresso machine or even with a Nespresso (choose double espresso pods). However, I'm much more likely to order a doppio espresso on the go if I need a quick burst of caffeine. Here's everything you should know about how to order this Italian double shot on your next coffee shop run.

Kloo delivers the first-ever Q grader-crafted coffee concentrate to your door

Crafted by the equivalent of a wine sommelier

Kloo Coffee

Many coffee and cold brew concentrates have recently been launched in the coffee market, but none have been crafted by Q Graders—until now. Kloo is the first coffee concentrate crafted by a Q Grader (the equivalent to a coffee sommelier), bottled and delivered right to your door. Kloo sets itself apart with its unique brewing process, invented by Kloo co-founder Mariella Cho. Kloo's coffee concentrates are roasted, brewed, aged, and bottled in-house, with Kloo having full control of its proprietary process.

The process begins by sourcing excellent quality coffee beans, which are graded on a scale of 100 by Q graders (trained and certified professional coffee sommeliers). A score of 85+ is the bar for excellence as defined by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). Kloo only sources beans scored 85 or greater. The brand tests many different coffee beans before deciding which to use, understanding that each bean represents a unique set of flavors that contribute to the range of options the world of coffee offers. After the beans are selected, the roasting process begins.
