A reference figure for the drink, not a measurement of your cup.
Affogato preparation
- Scoop 60-80g of firm vanilla gelato into a chilled 150ml glass or coupe.
- Pull a double espresso (36g) and pour it over the gelato immediately.
- Serve with a spoon and eat within a minute, while the hot-cold contrast holds.
Dessert, not a drink. Firm gelato and a hot shot are the point - soft ice cream collapses into a puddle before it reaches the table.
