'Ristretto' is italian for 'restricted' or 'reduced', and does in this context indicate that an espresso is 'short', meaning the extraction of the espresso is stopped before it is normally finished.

'Caffè Ristretto' or 'Espresso Ristretto' is not a beverage as such, but a way of making an espresso.

The result is a smaller 'shot' of espresso, thicker and richer than normal.

While a regular espresso may take between 18 and 30 seconds to 'pull', a 'espresso ristretto' is cut short at only 12 to 16 seconds.

The classic 'ristretto' is made from a normal dose of coffee (as to a normal espresso), but many baristas make it from a larger dose and the normal amount of water.

Can we get this to also come up from a search on wikipedia for "short shot"? I don't know how that's done, otherwise I'd do it.

Can we remove the external See also link to the image viewer? I don't see how it's relevant if it doesn't even have a wikipedia page... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.186.17.183 (talk) 14:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
