Coffee has become the leading drink around the world. Due to this irse in popularity there are several different variations of coffee brands and coffee beans to choose from, here is a look at a few of them. Get to grips with your coffee drinks with these definitions of the coffee drinks that are available today and how you can make your own variation.
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks across the Western world, infact 80% of Americans drink coffee and half of the population drink coffee on a daily basis. Coffee is not only a tasty and stimulating beverage, it has become the social drink of the decade. Instead of going to bars and pubs to have a pint of beer and glass of wine we now go to coffee shops and the local Star Bucks for our favourite type of coffee drink.
Due to the increasing popularity of coffee there are many brands of coffee including Illy, Gaggia, Jura, Ciao Coffee, Lavazza, Arabica, and many more. Each of these brands have a range of different coffee beans as well such as ground coffee, coffee beans, filter coffee, coffee pods, and even rainforest coffee.
Illy Coffee
Illy coffee is a big favourite amongst the Brits, 5 million cups of illy coffee are enjoyed, and is the leading coffee bean within the UK. A few different varieties of coffee beans from Illy include Illy's Ciao Mixed Case Espresso, which is described as the highest quality coffee you can buy. Each blend has its own unique taste profile was has been achieved by years of our roasters expertise. Another is Illy 100% Arabica Whole Beans, Arabica coffee has a rich flavor with a caffeine content lower than Robusta coffee.
Lavazza Coffee
Lavazza coffee is the leading coffee drink in Italy, some of the different variations of this coffee include Lavazza Pienaroma Beans, these beans create a particularly aromatic and fragrant coffee with luxurious smoothness, well rounded taste and perfect body. Another coffee drink from Lavazza is Super Crema which is a fabulous premium blend from Lavazza that combines sweet Brazilian coffee beans and Central and South American coffee beans.
There are hundreds of blends of coffee beans from several leading coffee brands, experiment a little and have a try of them all and see which one is your favourite, just make sure it's not just before bed time!
If you are a regular coffee drinker and frequently dine out for lunch at cafes and local coffee shops then you will probably be a professional at ordering your coffee and can specify exactly how you like it to a fraction of precision. But if you are not so relaxed with your coffee ordering abilities the mass amount of coffee drink choices and variations of these drinks can be a little over whelming and down right confusing. A lot of the coffee drinks available today consist of a variation of types of coffee mixed with milk, or chocolate or steamed milk etc and so they are a bit of a coffee cocktail.
Let's look at some of the popular coffee drink options and the translation of these coffee drink names in simple speak:
Caffe Latte - this type of coffee comes in a long glass and is a shot of espresso coffee with a good helping of steamed milk. An espresso coffee is very strong which is why you only need a small amount, usually a shots worth, and the steam milk bulks out the drink and dilutes the strong coffee taste evenly amidst the creamy milk. A popular choice among many as it gives you the coffee kick but the milk mellows the taste for easy drinking.
Caffe Mocha - do you have a sweet tooth? If so this coffee drink is definitely for you. It consists of a shot of espresso, steamed milk, cocoa, and whipped cream. This coffee drink can be quite filling and can be described more of a coffee desert than a beverage!
Cappuccino - a very popular choice and is simply a combination of an espresso with steamed and foamed milk. The foamed milk creates a layer of froth on top of the drink which is sometimes accompanied with sprinkles of chocolate on top.
Espresso - the hard stuff. Espresso drink is the original and still today the most popular coffee drink throughout Italy, it's a small shot of very strong coffee which gives a real kick and finishes any meal perfectly.
These are set drinks that are available but you can also make up your own variation such as having two shots of espresso instead of one, soya milk instead of cow milk, half fat oppose to full fat, and even extra hot temperature coffee. The options and variations are endless.
