Few treats capture the essence of an Italian summer quite like a scoop of gelato "drowned" in a shot of espresso. While the recipe may be simple (just those two ingredients!), choosing the right coffee makes all the difference. The espresso should complement the gelato's sweetness without overpowering it, which means selecting high-quality caffè is the key to turning every sip (and spoonful) into a true indulgence.
Eataly's Essenza espresso capsules are crafted for true coffee lovers. These premium pods capture authentic Italian espresso in every sip. Each blend delivers a smooth, full-bodied taste with notes of roasted nuts and dark chocolate, finished with a velvety crema that makes it perfect for an affogato.
Enjoy everything you love about an affogato — without the caffeine. Eataly's Momento decaf espresso capsules deliver a smooth, well-balanced shot with notes of toasted nuts, caramel, and cocoa. Crafted from premium Arabica beans and gently decaffeinated to preserve their full aroma, each capsule offers a rich, creamy espresso that can be enjoyed any time of day.
Illy's dark roast ground espresso delivers an intense aroma and bold flavor, with notes of dark chocolate and toasted bread. It's perfect for brewing in a moka pot to pour over gelato for an affogato — or simply savoring on its own.
This classic Italian stovetop espresso maker is perfect making rich, hot coffee to pour over gelato. It brews three cups — enough to make affogatos for you and your friends. The sleek design, by architect Alessandro Mendini, is as beautiful as it is functional.
Bacio di dama, or "lady's kiss" in Italian, is a delicate hazelnut cookie layered with rich dark chocolate. It's a delightful afternoon pick-me-up or sweet treat after dinner when served with tea or coffee, but even better when paired with an affogato.
