Espresso Con Panna
Espresso Con Panna
A very simple no fuss brew known by many names such as the Wiener Melange & the Viennois.
Quite simply its a double-shot of your favourite coffee and topped with your choice of whipped cream.
The espresso con panna is a luxuriously sweet treat which is basically out of this world and quite enjoyable as a after dinner dessert brew.
Similarly to a macchiato, your just smearing your espresso with a dollop of whipped cream but the results are way more satisfying.

Although technically speaking you can use any cup, it’s best to keep it authentic and pour your brew into a nice Gibraltar cup

Equipment & Things Needed
step by step Guide
Step 1
For this demonstration, we will be using our Delonghi EC260.
Ensure there’s enough water in the water tank. Switch on your espresso machine and wait for confirmation your espresso machine is ready.
Grab your coffee portafilter (handle with coffee basket), place the double espresso basket instead of the single espresso basket and unseal your deliciously fresh coffee bag of La Bella Figura, and slowly place 24g of coffee into the coffee basket.
Using either the shaft of your coffee scoop or the shaft of a spoon. Slide it across the top of the coffee heap (start at the rim of your portafilter, to ensure that your coffee is aligned and uniform.
Then tamp down the coffee grinds held in the portafilter with minimal down-force pressure.
Lastly, place your portafilter into the locking chamber of your espresso machine, tighten it by turning the handle counter clockwise until it locks fully.
Step 2
Position your gibralatar cup directly underneath the spout of your locked portafilter. Sometimes depending on how cold it is, we like to warm up our cups with some warm water or steam before commencing with the espresso pour.
Press the double espresso button or turn the dial to a double-shot depending on your espresso machine.
Once your espresso machine has finished extraction, remove your espresso cup.
Top with whipped cream in a circular motion.
Drizzle some honey, caramel or chocolate on top for extra umpff.
