Affogato

Coffee 'drowned' ice cream · Italy · Hot · 2 min

A hot, strong shot poured over cold vanilla ice cream. Half dessert, half coffee, eaten with a spoon.

Best with beans that taste

ChocolatyNuttyCaramel & sweet

Why: Vanilla ice cream needs a bitter, roasty partner — chocolaty and nutty beans taste like a coffee sundae. Bright fruity beans clash with the dairy and taste sour.
