Coffee is an important part of the day for many of us, and everybody seems to like it served slightly differently. This article details just a few of the many types of coffee beverages available, complete with ingredients and serving suggestions.
Dirty Chai coffee consists of a cup of chai tea with a single shot of espresso added.
Eggnog Latte, a festive favourite for coffee drinkers in America, is a blend of steamed milk, eggnog, espresso and nutmeg.
Esikaffee is an ice cream coffee drink which is popular in Germany, and is made from cold coffee, milk, sweetener, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.
An Espresso Romano is a shot of espresso served with lemon rind and sugar.
A Flat White is very similar to a Latte, and emanates from New Zealand and Australia. Creamy steamed milk is added to a single shot of espresso. Unlike a latte, it's usually served in a small ceramic cup, and micro-foam is often used to create a smooth texture.
Guillermo is hot espresso served with lime slices. Sometimes it can be served on ice and occasionally with milk.
A Gingerbread Latte is a winter favourite for many, consisting of steamed milk and espresso as well as gingerbread syru
p, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla powder.
A Green Eye, sometimes known as a Triple Death, is dripped coffee mixed with a triple shot of espresso. This is a drink to wake you up and get you going.
Iced coffee is a popular cold alternative to hot coffee. All sorts of coffee and milk combinations are used.
Irish coffee can be any type of coffee combined with whisky and cream, sometimes made sweeter with some sugar. Irish coffee is also a whisky & coffee flavour, used for ice cream and other beverages.
A Libbylou is a coffee drink made from hot espresso. Equal parts of mocha and white mocha are added to the espresso. It is usually served without milk foam, but sometimes with whipped cream.
Liqueur Coffee is served with a shot of liqueur, usually in a clear glass, so the separation between coffee and cream can be clearly seen. Many different sorts of liqueurs are used, and then a teaspoon of sugar is added. Next the glass is topped with strong, filter coffee. Cream is then often added with a cold teaspoon, to help it to float on top of the coffee and liqueur. The sugar also helps the cream to remain buoyant.
Macchiato coffee is an espresso with some foamed milk. It appears much like a cappuccino, but macchiato has a stronger flavour. Cocoa sprinkles are often added at the end.
