Smell the Different Types of Coffee

For more than 10 centuries, ever since man discovered the magic of the then unknown red berry to the contemporary commuter savouring a cup of latte, coffee has gripped the imagination of mankind like few other beverages to become not only a welcome treat but also an addictive compulsion.

With the best selection of the choicest coffee beans from around the globe now easily available in the country, Australian coffee junkies have the opportunity of experimenting with a number of variations that are a far cry from the swill that the older generations had been gulping down so far. Come to a reputed café Preston for a great coffee experience. Some popular coffee variations that discerning drinkers can now choose from:

Espresso

Espresso coffee is made by taking dark roast coffee powder in an espresso machine and forcing steam through it at high pressure. When it has been perfectly brewed, espresso coffee will have thick foam (crema) on the surface that’s a characteristic golden-brown.

According to purists, espresso should be left unadulterated but if you must, only a little bit of sugar may be added. You can add some steamed milk to make espresso macchiato; a whipped cream topping creates an espresso con panna, and the addition of grappa, Sambuca or cognac can make it an espresso correcto.

Cappuccino

One of the world’s most favourite coffee brews, cappuccino is a product of equal parts of espresso, milk froth and steamed milk. Truly luxurious with its richness and complex flavours, many buffs make it a dessert by sprinkling shavings of dark chocolate or unsweetened cocoa on the cappuccino froth.

Requesting for less milk makes it a scuro cappuccino, while chiaro cappuccino is the result of more milk being added to the mix. Folks on a diet can drink cappuccino made with non-fat or skimmed milk, while iced cappuccino is a fantastic summer drink.

Americano

Now one of the most popular forms of coffee all over the world, the origin of Americano lies in a slight insult to the Americans who found espresso too bitter to drink and preferred to have an espresso shot diluted with hot water.

Nowadays, you can sip from a perfectly brewed rich and creamy Americano in virtually every café you walk into. Americanos are the most flavoursome, according to experts, when the milk and sugar are kept to a bare minimum. Americano variations are not common but having one iced on a hot day can be a wonderful treat.

Caffe Latte

A single shot of espresso coffee to which, has been added, thrice the amount of steamed milk is called a caffe latte. The brew is generally had with sugar and makes for a real cup of joy when you dip fresh Italian bread or slices of sponge cake. What starts off as a cup of hot coffee then ends up as a wholesome breakfast! Another version that has an equal part of milk goes by the name of Cafe au Lait. It is also great for dipping bread and cakes.

Choose your favourite cup of piping hot coffee from the impressive variety available at a popular café Preston.
