Regular espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage, where shaken espresso is taking pure espresso and shaking it over ice.

Texture has a lot to do with the taste. When you shake with ice, you chill the espresso faster and it froths. The melted ice waters the espresso down and dilutes some of the flavor of the v strong espresso

As an ex barista, it makes it frothy/aerates it but after 10-15 mins it’s gonna settle and it’s gonna be like drinking an iced americano which is a good drink as well if you don’t like that much milk in your drinks

Kind of the same concept of aerating wine. It can change the flavor profile a bit. I prefer pouring it from one cup to another a few times so it’s not foamy. If you don’t taste a difference don’t do it.

It’s literally to upcharge you for them to hand mix, aka shaken, the milk & espresso together

It sweetens the espresso, takes the bitterness away.

I think, absolutely nothing. It’s a gimmicky trend that made it seem necessary. I might be wrong though. I’m sure someone will tell me. lol

aside from mixing, shaking it will trap some air in it that might affect the taste. but please, if you can't taste the difference, stop shaking it! you don't have to do stuff because you saw someone else do it!

Typically you get slightly less milk in the latte because the foam fills up the cup more

Makes it cold and frothy. You can also shake it with your sweetner so it gets mixed in better!

I saw someone say that when you put hot espresso in ice it actually can change the flavor of the espresso because it’s so cold. I have no idea if that’s true tho🤷♀️😅

It shakes it. No but honestly same as martinis- a “stirred” aka over ice has no ice dispersion but it waters down a little fast shaken breaks up the ice into tiny ice crystals

Theres basically 3 stages of espresso and when you shake it it mixes those stages together to get the best possible flavor from the shot
