FAQs
Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso?
While espresso gives the richest flavor and froth, you can use strong brewed instant coffee as a substitute. Expect a slightly different texture and a milder taste.
What kind of vanilla can I use if I don’t have vanilla bean paste?
Pure vanilla extract works well as a substitute. Use about half the amount since it’s more liquid and less concentrated than vanilla bean paste.
