Coffee, THE WORLD of CAFFEE & TEA
Coffee
SEE ALL LESSONS

Coffee time is generally a more casual occasion compared to afternoon tea.

 This can take place at various times throughout the afternoon, depending on personal preference.

Different coffee options (espresso, cappuccino, brewed coffee) are available.

Coffee time can serve as a social gathering, where friends or colleagues come together to enjoy conversation over refreshments.

Coffee is a popular beverage enjoyed by many around the world. There are several types of coffee, each with its own unique flavor profile and preparation method. Here are some common types of coffee:

Espresso: A strong and concentrated coffee made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans.

Americano: Made by diluting a shot of espresso with hot water, resulting in a milder flavor.

Cappuccino: Equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam, traditionally topped with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon.

Latte: Made with espresso and steamed milk, with a small amount of milk foam on top.

Flat White: Similar to a latte, but with a higher proportion of coffee to milk and a velvety texture.

Mocha: A combination of espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate syrup or cocoa powder.

Cold Brew: Coffee brewed with cold water over an extended period, resulting in a smooth and less acidic flavor.

When serving coffee, here are some general guidelines to follow:

⁃       Start with freshly ground coffee beans for the best flavor.

⁃       Use clean equipment, including your coffee maker or French press.

⁃       Brew the coffee to the desired strength, whether it's a strong espresso shot or a milder drip coffee.

⁃       Serve hot coffee in preheated cups to maintain its temperature.

⁃       Offer a selection of milk or cream for guests to customize their coffee.

⁃       Provide sugar, sweeteners, and flavorings like syrups or spices for added customization.

⁃       Consider serving coffee with a small pastry or snack for a complete experience.

Remember, the best way to enjoy coffee is ultimately a matter of personal preference, so feel free to experiment and find what suits your taste buds best.

GLASS: For all types of coffee, you can use a standard coffee mug or cup, which is versatile and works well for most coffee drinks. Alternatively, you could use a double-walled glass coffee cup for a more stylish presentation, or a traditional espresso cup for serving espresso shots. It ultimately depends on personal preference and the presentation you are aiming for.

HOW TO SERVE: Here are some general guidelines on how to serve milk with coffee beverages:

-       Warm or steam the milk: For coffee beverages like lattes, cappuccinos, or flat whites, you can either warm or steam the milk. This helps to enhance the flavor and create a creamy texture. You can use a milk frother or steam wand on an espresso machine for this purpose.

-   Pour the milk: Pour the warm or steamed milk into the espresso shot in a slow and steady stream. The ratio of coffee to milk varies depending on the type of coffee drink you're making (e.g., latte, cappuccino).

-   Foam the milk (optional): For cappuccinos and lattes, you can create foam by aerating the milk with a steam wand or frother. The amount of foam can be adjusted based on personal preference.

-   Serve immediately: Serve the coffee beverage promptly after preparing it to ensure that it stays hot and retains its flavor profile.
