As many of you coffee lover or act yourself as a coffee lover must have hear with this term called "ristretto". I'm sure many of you have heard of it but have no idea what does it mean. Basically, ristretto is a "short" shot of an espresso.
The 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 ristretto.
This variation is made with the same amount of coffee as a regular espresso. There is less water used, at most 25 ml instead of 30 ml for normal espresso. This makes an espresso ristretto stronger than a normal espresso.
Another modern method for pulling a ristretto is to simply stop the extraction early, so less water has time to pass through the ground coffee. This produces a slightly different taste than the fine-grinding, equal-time method, and is often preferred in fast-paced cafes because it does not require the barista to change the settings on the coffee grinder.
