Affogato is Italy's perfect dessert-drink hybrid: creamy vanilla ice cream 'drowned' by hot, intense espresso. With your Moccamaster, you can recreate this at home easily — and arguably better than many cafés.
How to make it: Brew your Moccamaster with double the usual coffee amount (40g coffee for 300ml water) to create a very strong, concentrated brew. Scoop 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into a tall glass. Immediately pour 80–100ml of the hot, just-brewed coffee over the ice cream. Enjoy right away as the ice cream begins to melt and swirl into the coffee — that's the perfect moment.
Affogato is best enjoyed immediately after pouring — don't wait for the ice cream to fully melt. You can dress it up with a splash of Amaretto or a sprinkle of shaved chocolate on top. Moccamaster's refined coffee flavors and precise brewing temperature complement the creaminess of the ice cream beautifully.
