Drip coffee is a strong one made during a slow process of dripping boiling water over ground coffee.

An authentic piece of art!  This type of coffee is made by continuously refreshing the water surrounding the grounded coffee. Three phases of this process add to the unique taste and quality of the coffee.

A stronger version of Americano is made by pouring two shots of espresso over a small amount of water.

A joy that makes time to make – this type of beverage is made by dipping the grounds into boiling water where they steep for some time. This makes the final taste richer.

Traditional Turkish Coffee is prepared in a pot called dzezva (cezve). The water is heated in the pot until it boils, then the ground coffee is put inside. After steering a bit, it is often quickly reheated just to get an extra cream on the top. Remains of the coffee powder will stay in your cup as the coffee is not filtered.

This is, Ladies and Gentlemen, very much consumed beverage, consisting of espresso with a lower amount of steamed milk that acts as a side taste.

Famous coffee with even more iconic crema contains 1/3 of espresso and the same measure of foamed milk and steamed milk. One of the better known Coffee Drink Recipes is the cappuccino and consists of espresso 1 ounce (25-30ml), which is then topped with frothed hot milk in a 5 ounce (150ml) tall glass or mug. The name stems probably from the Capuchin friars meaning “small cap” and refers to the perfect shade of brown color of their habits.

Latte is coffee where milk takes over the stage, dominating over the taste of espresso. We could say it’s a form of Cappuccino with more milk.

This is an American version of Latte and it is made of ¼ espresso, ½ steamed milk and ½ milk foam. Steamed milk is there to add the volume of the foam.

Italian word meaning mottled. A simple one – an espresso shot with a dash of milk. Or if you want to be a little more exact: 1 ounce (25-30ml) with a dash of frothed milk in a small cup 1.6 – 2 ounce (50-60ml).

If we would translate it from Italian, the meaning gives us a unique name – stained milk. Latte Macchiato is a glass of milk that you stain by pouring espresso over it. It is served in a tall glass, where all the layers are visible – milk on the bottom, espresso in the middle and foam on the top.

We get this magic by adding foamed milk to espresso and an additional flavor on the top. It is usually choco syrup or cocoa powder sprinkled with cinnamon. You can always play with aromas of all kinds.

This is an excellent choice for anyone who prefers lower levels of caffeine in their coffee. It takes a bit more time to make this type of drink, as the ground coffee is mixed with cold water and left overnight in the fridge. After that, the mixture is strained and served.

We could easily call this coffee a trait. It is actually a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a glass with a shot of hot espresso poured over it. It can, also, be served with a shot of amaretto.
