The one cup to order

Il gran caffè: the house espresso, whipped with sugar behind a screen into a thick crema (say amaro if you want it without). Stand at the bar with a cornetto

When it's quiet: Before 9am, or after 3pm when the tour groups have moved on.

Rome's most famous cup since 1938, roasted over wood in the back, and made with a secret the baristas still hide behind the machine. Drink it standing, the Roman way, for a bar price.

Make it at home

Espresso at home: the Roman shot, dialled in by weight

Espresso at home: the Roman shot, dialled in by weight

10 min including warm-up · 1 double shot. The shot every Roman and Neapolitan bar on the chart lives by. A home machine can pull a very good one once you measure what goes in and what comes out.
