Had a Ristretto Gibraltar made for me yesterday, and i thought i'd check out some Coffee 101 on the Gilbraltar which was interesting! #burpple

Ristretto is a very "short" shot of espresso coffee, and since the water comes in contact with the grinds for a much shorter time the caffeine is extracted in reduced ratio to the flavorful coffee oils. The resultant shot could be described as bolder, fuller, with more body and less bitterness. All of these flavors are usually attributed to espresso in general, but are more pronounced in a ristretto. For a double espresso shot is typically around 60 ml (2 fl oz), while a double ristretto is typically 45 ml (1–1.5 fl oz). The Gibraltar is a 4.5 fl oz glass and it comes with a coffee to milk ratio of 1:3
