Cappuccino, Latte or even a straight shot of espresso coffee is what you need to take a good breath in the middle of the day. Cafetopoio is based in the heart of the city and it’s a hotspot for all the espresso lovers.
Brewed under heavy pressure, espresso has visible layers with the darkest, strongest part of the brew on the bottom and the thick crema, made from the oils and fat of the coffee beans, resting on top. You can dollop heated milk on top and, depending on its texture, turn the espresso into latte, cappuccino, macchiato and many other delectable concoctions.
“The origin of the term “espresso” is the subject of considerable debate. Although some Anglo-American dictionaries simply refer to “pressed-out”,“espresso,” much like the English word “express”, conveys the senses of “just for you” and “quickly,” which can be related to the method of espresso preparation.”
