What Is Vienne Coffee? Vienna Coffee is the name of a popular traditional cream-based coffee beverage. It is made by preparing two shots of strong black espresso in a standard sized coffee cup and infusing the coffee with whipped cream (as a replacement for milk and sugar) until the cup is full. Then the cream is twirled and optionally topped off with chocolate sprinklings. The coffee is drunk through the creamy top.
- Preheat your espresso machine.
- Grind and dose 23g of coffee into your portafilter.
- Tamp flat and even, then place the portafilter in your espresso machine.
- Fill a medium sized glass or cup with hot water, about 80% of the cups volume.
- Place the glass on a scale on your espresso machine under the portafilter and tare the scale to zero.
- Extract a 33 – 35g shot of freshly roasted white horse coffee over the water.
- Grab a table spoon and gently pour fresh cream over the top of the espresso shot, to achieve a layer effect.
Dust with cocoa if you like, and that’s pretty much it.
