Classic Carajillo & Nespresso Macchiato Carajillo
Nespresso
Notes
If you're using a Nespresso machine, Pergola recommends using one Vertuo capsule to produce a double espresso, or two Original capsules, which yield about 2.7 ounces of coffee. For the best results, "you'll want a coffee with a deeper or woody/roasted profile to stand up to the alcohol in the drink," he says, specifically calling out Master Origin Mexico (Vertuo) or Rio de Janeiro (Original).
