Tips & Tricks
Here are some tips to choose and rotate (don't overdo them all at once) when brewing your coffee drinks to keep them interesting.
- Using freshly ground beans will always make a better cup of coffee.
- Adding a pinch of salt to your coffee can bring out the flavor, and help sweeten and balance the acidity.
- Try adding flavors like nutmeg, cinnamon, or hazelnut to your coffee for an added twist.
- If you want a creamy texture in your coffee, try adding some coconut oil for a richer flavor and smoother texture.
- Adding some alcohol to your coffee is an excellent way to give it a nice, boozy flavor. Just remember to use it sparingly, as too much could overpower your coffee's natural flavors.
- Adding a few drops of vanilla extract to your coffee for a sweet, aromatic flavor.
- For an extra indulgent treat, try topping off your coffee with some freshly whipped cream.
The world of coffee drinks is vast and endless. Whether you’re looking for a quick caffeine fix or something a little more indulgent, from the classic espresso to the sweet and creamy mochaccino, there's a drink for everyone in this world and there is a unique drink for you every day.
