Welcome to the Kingdom of Coffee
Black Coffee
Espresso
■ Espresso
The Italian Diva among coffees made
by
forcing high-pressure steam
through grounded coffee beans.
Result? Thick coffee texture with a
delicious foam on top.
Doppio
■ Espresso
Meaning “double” in Italian is a simple
double espresso shot and it is made by
coffee passing through the portafilter
with a double spout.
Ristretto
■ Espresso
This is a type of a so-called “short”
espresso. It is made just like a regular
espresso but using half the amount of
water.
Americano
■ Water
■ Espresso
Whoever prefers a bit lighter texture
of espresso – voilà! Americano is
a weaker espresso with a more
substantial amount of water, served in
a big coffee cup. [READ MORE]
Drip Coffee
■ Espresso
TDrip coffee is a strong one made
during a slow process of dripping
boiling water over ground coffee.
Pourover
■ Espresso
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.
Long Black
■ Espresso
A stronger version of Americano is made
by pouring two shots of espresso over
a small amount of water.
Immersion Brewing
■ Water
■ Espresso
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.
AeroPress Coffee
■ Espresso
A peculiar taste of this type of coffee
is accomplished by using a special
device. By placing a paper filter in
the tube, coffee is steeped for about
one minute and then pressed through
the filter with a plunger.
Instant Coffee
■ Espresso
Easy & quick – this coffee is made by
simply pouring the desired amount
of hot water over the coffee
powder and stirring until
dissolves.
Turkish Coffee
■ Water
■ Espresso
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.
Milk Based Coffee
These types of coffees are perfect for consuming in the afternoon or evening hours due to the lower concentration of acidity and caffeine. Milk just ads an extra touch.
| Sr# | Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Flat White |
| 2 | Cappuccino |
| 3 | Latte |
| 4 | Caffe Breve |
| 5 | Macchiato |
| 6 | Latte Macchiato |
| 7 | Mocha |
Flat White
■ Steamed Milk
■ Espresso
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.
Cappuccino
■ Milked Foam
■ Steamed Milk
■ Espresso
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
■ Milked Foam
■ Steamed Milk
■ Espresso
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.
Caffe Breve
■ Milked Foam
■ Half-and-Half Milk
■ Espresso
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.
