The word "Doppio" means "Double Espresso" in Italian. It's a strong and creamy coffee, where twice the amount of espresso ends up in the cup compared to the normal portion. For the best taste, use twice as much water and coffee powder and serve it in a large cup. A test of a well-made doppio is when the crema coalesces into a solid surface when you stir. This versatile drink can be enjoyed as is, or you can customise it with milk, ice or sugar to create variations such as macchiato or shakerato. A double espresso is perfect for a quick energy boost during a short break or cosy moments, but remember to enjoy caffeine in moderation.
