The one cup to order

A macchiato, Addis style (a short espresso with a cap of foam), standing at the counter

When it's quiet: Mid-morning on a weekday.

Addis Ababa's coffee house since 1953, in the country where coffee began: Ethiopian beans, roasted dark Italian-style, and a room full of regulars.

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.
