Brew Espresso Coffee

An affogato is an espresso-based drink prepared with one shot of espresso and a scoop of fior di latte gelato or vanilla ice cream. Affogato is traditionally made with espresso. The word affogato means “drowned” in Italian. The name refers to the ice cream being drowned by the coffee. The recipe Brew Espresso Coffee is discussing here on this page is “Affogato al caffè"; however, there are a lot of other "drowned ice-cream beverages," but they are drowned in different drinks. Affogato is considered a dessert in Italy, the country of origin of this interesting recipe. However, in many places, it is considered a beverage. Often, affogato is confused by customers with espresso. While technically, affogato contains an espresso shot, an affogato-style espresso is more of a dessert than a coffee drink.

Step 1: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fior di latte.
