Example Sentences

Notes
- The Café Zorro is less common than other espresso-based drinks and might not be found on the menu in all coffee shops.
- To make a Café Zorro, baristas typically pull two shots of espresso and then add an equal volume of hot water. It is usually served in a larger cup than a standard espresso shot glass.
- The resulting drink has a strong, rich flavor similar to espresso but is slightly diluted, making it smoother and less intense.
