Favourite Espresso-based beverage?

[davidlr]

Hello friends, I've posted a few times as I bought my first espresso machine at the beginning of the year and have been slowly learning the finer details of great coffee.

In the past, I've really only drank long black, cappuccino and/or flat white style coffees, but I decided to try a macchiato for the first time yesterday and quite enjoyed it.

So now I'm wondering what other espresso-based beverages I've been missing out on, so I thought I'd put the question out there as to what your favourites are that you would suggest that a coffee enthusiast should try?

I like melting Ibarra Mexican chocolate in whole milk and dumping the hot mixture into a blender and adding a couple of shots of espresso, blending and then pouring into a warmed cappuccino cup.

Just a straight espresso? You don't seem to have tried that yet.
