The Best Espresso Drinks to Make With SUMMIT Blend: 6 Recipes That Showcase Every Note
Recipe 1: The Classic Double Shot
The purest expression of SUMMIT. Pull 18g to 38g yield in 28-30 seconds at 92C. Drink within 30 seconds of pulling. Dark chocolate leading into mild citrus, finishing with lingering caramel. This is the shot that explains why SUMMIT is Pure Earth's best-seller.
Recipe 2: The SUMMIT Flat White
A flat white lets SUMMIT's chocolate and caramel notes integrate with steamed milk without being diluted. Double shot (18g/38g), 100-120ml of whole milk steamed to 60-62C microfoam. Pour slowly over the back of a spoon for velvet texture. Richer and more intense than a latte.
Recipe 3: Iced SUMMIT Americano
Pull a double shot, let rest 30 seconds. Fill a 12oz glass with ice, add 90ml cold filtered water, pour shot over. Cold unlocks a nuttiness in SUMMIT that does not appear in hot drinks. Clean, refreshing, distinctly Pure Earth.
Recipe 4: The SUMMIT Cortado
35ml espresso, 35ml steamed whole milk at 55-60C. Equal parts espresso and milk -- the cortado is where SUMMIT's balance becomes obvious. Every note -- chocolate, citrus, caramel -- remains identifiable. This is the drink for people who want to taste both the blend and the milk simultaneously.
Recipe 5: Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso
Double shot, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, shake vigorously with 3-4 ice cubes for 15 seconds until frothy. Pour over fresh ice, add 2oz oat milk. Brown sugar amplifies SUMMIT's caramel finish. Highly shareable, genuinely delicious.
Recipe 6: The SUMMIT Affogato
One scoop vanilla ice cream in a chilled glass. Pull a fresh double shot directly over the ice cream. The hot espresso melts the ice cream, creating a chocolate-caramel coffee sauce. Eat immediately. Optional: a few flakes of sea salt on top.
Every drink format asks something different from the espresso. SUMMIT was designed to answer all of them -- not just the easy ones. -- PURE EARTH COFFEE
