Espresso Tonic
Swap out gin for espresso for a carbonated
drink that is both refreshing and buzzy. You
can experiment with flavored simple syrups
and garnishes to mix it up!
Makes 1 serving
2 espresso capsules
(preferably medium-light roast)
1 teaspoon simple syrup
(optional or to taste)
1 to 2 dashes aromatic bitters
(such as Angostura)
5 ounces tonic water
Orange or lemon twist for garnish
1. Put 1 espresso capsule into the unit.
Place a small glass or mug underneath the
brew head. Select Single Espresso and
allow it to brew into the small mug. When
brewing process is complete, discard used
capsule and place a new capsule into the
unit. Reselect Single Espresso and brew
into same mug. Let cool to room temperature.
2. Fill a highball glass with ice. Add the simple
syrup (if using), bitters, and tonic water
and stir. Gently pour in the cooled espresso.
Drop an orange or lemon twist into the
glass to garnish.
3. Serve immediately.
Café con Leche
Start your morning off right with this
traditional Spanish-style espresso drink.
Makes 1 serving
2 espresso capsules
¹⁄³ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
(optional or to taste)
1. Put 1 espresso capsule into the unit.
Place a small mug underneath the brew
head. Reserve.
2. Put the milk into a separate heatproof mug.
Hold the mug in one hand and place under
the steam wand so the bottom of the wand
is just below the surface of the milk at an
angle. Select the Steam function and press
the START/STOP knob to start steaming.
While holding the mug at an angle, allow
the steam to move the milk around.
Once the milk begins to increase in volume,
lift the mug up higher so the steam wand
immerses deeper into the milk (this will
prevent large bubbles from forming and
will make a nice fine milk foam). When the
foam has almost reached the top of the
mug and you can feel that the milk in the
mug is quite hot, press the START/STOP
knob to stop steaming. Tap the mug a few
times to remove any larger bubbles.
3. Select Single Espresso and allow it to brew
into the small mug. When brewing process
is complete, discard used capsule and
place a new capsule into the unit. Reselect
Single Espresso and brew.
4. Slowly pour the steamed milk, holding back
the foam, into the mug with the espresso.
Sweeten to taste.
5. Serve immediately.
Matcha Latte
Matcha powder can be purchased either
sweetened or not. Be sure to look at the
ingredient list to see which type you are
purchasing. If it is sweetened, you most likely
will not want to add the honey.
Makes 1 serving
1½ teaspoons matcha powder, sifted
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon honey, optional or
to taste
1 cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
1. Put the matcha in a glass that’s at least 12
ounces in capacity with the tablespoon of
water. Whisk or stir well with a fork or small
whisk until smooth (if using honey, stir into
the matcha mixture at this time). Reserve.
2. Put the milk into a heatproof mug. Hold
the mug in one hand and place under the
steam wand so the bottom of the wand
is just below the surface of the milk at an
angle. Select the Steam function and press
the START/STOP knob to start steaming.
While holding the mug at an angle, allow
the steam to move the milk around.
Once the milk begins to increase in volume,
lift the mug up higher so the steam wand
