For coffee aficionados, the many different types of coffee available represent a delightful blend of choices. Heading to a local coffee house will reveal far more than simply regular and decaf. Aside from the vast assortment of coffee beans to be found, there are many unique ways to prepare and serve coffee. Listed here are some of the most common.
Espresso. This is made by forcing hot water through tightly packed, finely ground coffee. The water must be pushed through with a significant degree of pressure in order to pass through the grounds. If you watch a barista make this, you will probably notice he/she wedging the grounds in very firmly into the filter basket, often pounding the basket, order to ensure good density and proper taste. Espresso is generally served in small cups of about two ounces, as it has a more powerful taste and higher caffeine content than regular coffee.
Coffee Pot
Cappuccino. A drink made by combining espresso, warm milk, and frothy milk. The espresso is combined with warm milk and topped with milk foam. If you are at a coffee house and hear a sound similar to canned whip cream being expelled, somebody is making cappuccino. The spurting sound is the milk being heated to its foamy consistency. Cappuccino is served in larger cups ranging from about six to twelve ounces. Depending on where you get your cappuccino from, the barista may even make an artful design in the foam atop the coffee. Iced or frozen cappuccinos have also become a popular drink.
Latte. Very similar to cappuccino, a latte consists of espresso and warm milk. Depending on where you go, there may be foamed milk atop the latte, but generally only a very thin layer. The taste of a latte is often nearly identical to that of cappuccino; it is in the smoother texture that the difference lies.
Turkish coffee. Not a type of coffee bean but rather a style of preparation, Turkish coffee is produced by boiling extremely finely powdered coffee in a pot. Unlike typical coffee brewing, no filter is used. This produces a much stronger than normal taste, even stronger than espresso. Even though the coffee is very finely ground, there will still be dregs found in the bottom of the cup. It is often sugared to offset the noticeably bitter taste.
Blended coffees. Not coffees simply made by combining different beans, but coffees blended with teas, spices,chocolate, or even fruit extracts. These exotic brews open up coffee to a wide variety of flavors not ordinarily associated with the drink. Experienced baristas can create concoctions with such names such as pina colada coffee, peppermint spice mocha, or creme brulee roast.
Regular coffee will always be a staple drink and rightly so. However, the numerous types of coffee available to the coffee drinker ensures that there is a brew for every taste.
