Coffee Beverages

If you are one of those who thought there are only four or at the most five ways to have your favourite beverage, you could not be further from the truth. There are approximately fifty ways to make coffee and perhaps more. Coffee based drinks have exotic names. True espresso, drip coffee, Café au lait, café latte, mocha are the most popular ones, but there is a whole wide world out there waiting to be discovered as far as coffee is concerned. Did you, for example, know that there was a black tie, red tie, red tux, half caf, triple death and Kappi?

Coffee Based Beverages-The World’s Favourite
The entire world consumes coffee. It is, perhaps, the most exported item after petroleum and each region has its own popular version of their favourite drink coffee. Some like to drink it with milk, others prefer without. It is all a matter of taste.  It all depends on the way it is brewed and what goes into the pot that makes the coffee.  The timing is important as well as much depends on whether coffee is served as post dinner dessert, or a breather to start a day along with the eggs and bacon. An affogato, for example, is an ideal post dinner dessert. The rich dessert base combined with the light caramel sauce and the espresso topping make the affogato a gourmet’s delight.

Five Gourmet Special Coffee Beverages
Black tie: in case you prefer aroma and spice, Black Tie is a variant of the coffee drink which is a pure delight. Made with traditional Thai spices such as tamarind, star anise, orange blossoms, and fragrant tea leaves, this aromatic drink is both sweet and sour.

Café bombom: If you like your coffee sweet and with cream, Café bombom would be just the thing for you. Coffee and sweet condensed milk create such a delightful visual effect, that it would be a sin not have it right away!

Cafe Medici: when you are a little low, and need a little energy to perk up, chocolate and coffee are what the doctor ordered. The café medici serves just that. The topping of rich whipped cream is the icing on the cake. The German concoction Eiskaffee varies from Café Medici in the sense that it contains ice cream, in addition to the ingredients mentioned above.   

Irish coffee: Whiskey and cream and sugar make this coffee drink one of the preferences.    

Well, if this has not whetted your appetite, you can settle for the good old Espresso. I for sure like mine without the sugar.
