Coffee is an important beverage that is consumed around the world, with only water and coffee beans needed to make this drink in its simplest form. Most people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up and start the day, but coffee can be enjoyed any time of the day. Here are three popular types of coffee drinks.
1. Cappuccino
A cappuccino is prepared by combining an espresso shot with hot milk and then topping the mixture with foamed milk. The cappuccino is a relatively strong drink with a ratio of one part espresso to two parts foam and steamed milk in a standard variety of cappuccino. One variation of the standard cappuccino is the dry cappuccino, an even stronger drink that leaves out the hot milk for a simple beverage of micro-lot coffee Michigan and foam.
2. Latte
A latte is similar in ingredients to a standard cappuccino, but with a ratio of one part espresso to three parts milk. The result is a weaker, more milky coffee drink. Lattes may contain a layer of foam on the top that is thinner than the layer of foam on a cappuccino. It is common to get different flavored syrups in lattes, such as vanilla, mocha, and hazelnut. If you desire a stronger drink, you can order a latte with one or two extra shots of espresso.
3. Cold Brew
Cold brew coffee is made by taking coffee grounds and steeping them in cold water for 12-24 hours. One benefit of cold brew coffee is that it is less acidic than standard drip coffee. The reduced acidity may lead more people to forgo unhealthy sweeteners in their cup of cold brew. Cold brew contains more caffeine than drip coffee, so pour accordingly.
The next time you need some caffeine, consider one of these coffee drinks.
