Created by Dick Bradsell at The Soho Brasserie, Old Compton Street,  London, in 1983 (as the Vodka Espresso)

Vodka, coffee liqueur, and Monmouth Coffee. ABV 20%

In London in the early 1980s, at the very beginning of the cocktail renaissance, the father of the modern cocktail movement Dick Bradsell created the Vodka Espresso. It was possibly a pick-me-up cocktail for a famous model. Whatever it was, it has gone on to become the first and most famous of all of the Renaissance Classics.

Like every cocktail, an Espresso Martini is only as good as its ingredients. We pull every espresso by hand, and blend it with a vodka only made for this drink by our partner 58 & Co. Super smooth triple distilled vodkas don’t work in this drink. It needs something tougher, that can keep the coffee in check.

Dick’s original recipe included sugar syrup. We dropped that, but we do introduce sweetness from a coffee liqueur we use to balance the drink. If you shake this drink with ice for twenty seconds, you will get the rich crema this drink depends on, every time. When you do, add three beans for health, wealth and happiness.

Taste Profile

Rich and indulgent. A velvet dream on the tongue. Notes of bold espresso, strong vodka, and a hint of sweetness from the coffee liqueur.

Playlist for your 1983 Soho listening pleasure

When considering the history of this cultural icon, it’s worth remembering that in 1983 that other cultural icon Kate Moss was nine (Naomi Campbell was 13).

Nice upgrade 51mm for me
Color: Silver
This is my second 51mm machine. I never used the included handle or basket… I kept my existing HUGH IMS precision basket and bottomless portafilter. The temp and preinfusion are set and not adjustable but fine (reduced variables). I defeated the shut off by volume by setting higher than needed (wish that was easier to turn off). I like to manually shut off when I hit 30g on my scale. The machine will drip since there is not solenoid valve so I just pull the scale from the try when mouse tail breaks and drip starts. The steam wand and hot water dispenser is a massive upgrade (from Capresso EC50) and the real reason for my upgrade. I would have paid $50-100 more for the improvements listed… but I guess most people would not so this is about the best option for me with 51mm (keeping all the 51mm three lug portafilter stuff I own). 5 stars = for me and the price

Reliably makes a good cup of coffee!
Color: Rose Golden, Color: Rose Golden
This espresso machine is great. I wanted something simple and reliable and that’s exactly what it is. In fact, the espresso comes out with a nice creamy coffee froth on top and the flavor is excellent. I don’t normally write reviews, but I think this one is worth it and I want them to stay in business because I’ll probably be sending some of these out as gifts come next Christmas.

Authentic
Color: Black, Color: Black
This machine is amazing. We just returned from Italy and this is as close to a cafe as you can get. It leaves a dense foam on top from the high pressure water system making truly authentic. It is easy to use and clean!! I loved the size too as it fits perfectly on our shelf. Highly recommend if you want an italian cafe to enjoy!

Bargain Espresso Machine Works Great
Color: Silver
Great espresso machine, and a bargain at only $100! Pulls perfect shots with a generous amount of crema. And, it comes with a high-quality tamper. Tips: When you first turn it on, remember to run the steam wand for a couple seconds to prime the system. Test/experiment with the grind to get it just right--40 seconds with my blade grinder is working for me.
