Every coffee aficionado knows how important coffee is, whether you are starting your day or ending it. A cup of coffee can spice up even the most boring days and make it better. Most coffee lovers have a favorite. However, since there are so many options to try from, they are always looking to try something new.
To help you find a new favorite or to simply tell you more about the options present, we are here to help you. Below are the types of coffee every aficionado needs to try out once.
Espresso
Most coffee enthusiasts are already familiar with espresso, and if you are not, you are skipping out on a lot. Espresso is mostly chosen by people who prefer their coffee to be strong rather than milky.
The beans that are used to make espresso are more finely ground than other coffee. Moreover, it is brewed with a higher grounds-to-water ratio. Thus, only the smell of an espresso shot is enough to wake someone up properly. The best thing is you can get an espresso anywhere since it is one of the most popular coffee types.
Latte
Latte is the perfect partner to a slow-reading book because of its frothy flavor. Unlike espresso, a latte is warm and light to drink. It is made with ⅓ espresso and ⅔ steamed milk, along with a thin layer of foam.
Because of its espresso to milk ratio, the drink is light and leaves you with a calm feeling. Latte’s of today come with great customization; several different cafes serve different lattes with their own designs. This is commonly known as latte art.
Indian filter coffee
Any coffee aficionado would cherish a burst of silky coffee flavor — Indian filter coffee brings just that to the table. The coffee is made by mixing frothed and boiled milk along with the brewed finely ground coffee powder in an Indian filter.
The distinct flavor that the coffee offers is because of the Indian filter used in its making. It is believed that the coffee originated on a pilgrimage to Mecca in the 16th century. The coffee is often referred to as Madras filter coffee. Several online stores allow you to recreate the flavor at home.
Macchiato
Macchiato is an espresso drink that is topped with some frothed or steamed milk. It allows the drink to remain not too strong while bringing out the espresso flavors just enough. The drink serves as a middle option for people who do not want to go for espresso or cappuccino.
Unlike other coffee types, macchiato was not exclusively created. Rather it originated out of baristas trying to show waiters the difference between an espresso shot and one with a dash of milk.
Irish Coffee
In simple words, Irish coffee is coffee with a bit of alcohol. A classic combination of Irish coffee will have a bit of whiskey, sugar, and a dollop of whipped cream. More than coffee, it is usually considered a cocktail because of the alcohol element.
