![]() Coffee – Popular Names of Coffee Drink in the WorldDrinking coffee has become a social ritual, with an entire industry springing up to accommodate the rising popularity.
By: Dicoffeeshop Espresso coffee is a small (1 to 2 oz.) shot of pressure-brewed coffee, using about 1 tablespoon of finely ground coffee. Brewing takes about 25 to 30 seconds and when done properly, it will feature a layer of rich, dark golden cream, called crema on the surface. This crema is one indicator of a quality espresso. Making a great espresso is truly an art as well as a science. If you enjoy your coffee with milk, there are several different options. One of the most familiar is Cafe au Lait, which is brewed coffee with an equal amount of milk added. There are several coffee drinks made with espresso and steamed milk, which provide a different taste than traditional coffee with milk. When mixed with milk, hot water, sugar or chocolate, you can turn espresso into lattes, mochas, cappuccino and macchiato. Cappuccino is probably the most well known. A cappuccino is made with equal parts espresso, steamed milk and frothed milk. It differs from cafe latte, which is just a single shot of espresso with steamed milk. If you are looking for pure caffeine, a straight shot of espresso may be just what you need. Even these have variations, and some are much stronger than others. Espresso shots have been popular in Europe for decades although some shops will now sell you a diluted version known as an Americano. An Americano is a shot of espresso with hot water added to dilute it. These were originally developed in Italy during World War II for American soldiers who could not drink straight espresso. Another very popular drink in Europe is an Espresso Con Panna, which is a shot of espresso topped with whipped cream. Regardless of the name, coffee remains one of the most popular drinks in the world. Visit http://www.dicoffeeshop.com/ End
