The perfect affogato.

Affogato is Italian for “drowned”: fresh gelato or soft serve with hot espresso poured over it. Two ingredients, one dessert that lifts any menu. At our kiosk in Pertisau, the affogato with soft serve is one of the desserts we sell most often.

  • Gelato or soft serve
  • Espresso or LiquidBeans
  • New: the Affogato Bar

In short

An affogato is fresh gelato or a portion of soft serve with hot espresso poured over it. For bars and cafés a Miles Milano fits next to the coffee machine, for events and hotel gardens the new Affogato Bar by Miles and La Marzocco, for kiosks a soft serve machine. Without an espresso machine it works with LiquidBeans coffee extract.

Good to know

Terms explained in the ice cream glossary →

An Italian dessert: a scoop of gelato, usually vanilla, with hot espresso poured over it. “Affogato” means “drowned”.

Yes, and at our kiosk in Pertisau it is the version we sell most often. Soft serve melts a little faster and gets especially creamy in the espresso.

A cart by Miles and La Marzocco that makes fresh gelato in two flavours and has room for an espresso machine. Plus fridge, sink and water tanks; on battery it runs for up to five hours without a socket, according to Miles.

No. Espresso machine and grinder are not included. According to Miles, the La Marzocco series Linea PB, Linea Classic S, Leva, Strada and GS3 fit, or any machine up to 5,000 W, 75 cm wide and 60 cm deep.

Not necessarily. With LiquidBeans coffee extract and hot water, the affogato works without one.

Classically vanilla or fior di latte. Pistachio and hazelnut are popular variations.

Price on request, depending on the version (with or without battery) and branding. We do not offer rental.
