williluvcruisin Posted March 21, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I read on menus that were posted that one can order an esspresso or a cappuccino. Is this genuine one shot at a time espresso/cappuccino, or is it push button "dishwater" slop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papillon cruiser Posted March 21, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2010 The coffee shop that serves expresso, that charges for the expresso, is from a press like starbucks or seattle's best coffee stores. I am not sure of the cappucino that is free in the MDR because I haven't had it. I only drink caffeine in the morning. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalxKiss Posted March 21, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 21, 2010 The cappucino in the MDR is STRONG ..so it makes me assume that it's the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiting4acruise Posted March 21, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2010 The cappucino in the MDR is STRONG ..so it makes me assume that it's the real deal. I agree with that. The espresso is super strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted March 21, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Both are very strong and to drink it me and DW must add hot water. Have not seen it made so not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted March 21, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 21, 2010 It's real, and excellent. I have a double espresso every evening w/dessert. Wonderful! I also have a single in the mornings at b'fast, and a cappuccino after lunch. All very good and exactly the strength it's intended to be.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare splash_in_the_water Posted March 21, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2010 well i can't say how real it is, BUT!!!! thank you thank you thank you, for writing ESPRESSO!!! seems half the goons around here say "expresso". it gets really irritating to read it that way, kind of like reading the wrong "their, there, they're" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieTheMom Posted March 21, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 21, 2010 The ones in the dining room are strong like the ones from the Coffee Shop that you have to pay for. But in the MDR they are in a small coffee cup, about 5 to 6 ounces, and they are plain, no flavors. I also get one most every night. I get de-caf if I have late dining and were not going to a show.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williluvcruisin Posted March 21, 2010 Author #10 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Sounds like most posting on this thread don't know what is an espresso. Espresso is not strong coffee, it is the nectar of the coffee bean and and it is not more than a few liquid ounces. Cappuccino is espresso with frothed and heated milk added. Chocolate, cinamon or vanilla shavings optional. Sounds like one has to pay for a pulled espresso. Maybe EXpresso is what is served in the MDR!

But in the MDR they are in a small coffee cup, about 5 to 6 ounces, and they are plain, no flavors. They're served in a demi-tasse cup, 4-oz. The doubles I get are in an 8-oz. cup. And it's definitely real espresso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David-n-Rita Posted March 22, 2010 #18 Share Posted March 22, 2010 It is a good American version of the what is served in Italy, although it is no where near what is served in Italy, but neither is anything else that is served in the US. Plus you can't get cappuccino after noon in Italy, it's an exclusively morning drink. They do serve it at the evening meal in the dining room but they didn't offer it in the morning.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backwoodsdan Posted March 22, 2010 #19 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Real or not it is a real good way to end the meal. A must have for a late seating diner. Nothing to get all worked up about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espresso : can be made with the special bar machine or home made with a "moka" . It is called "ristretto" (concentrated) when it is very little or "lungo" if you want it less strong. "caffè macchiato" is what is called "noisette" in France and it is normal "caffè lungo" with some hot milk (no froth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Dream they were close to the front of the MDR and off to the side. I watched them make espresso and cappucino while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
