Various Kinds of Coffee Drinks

Posted: Mar 05, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

The taste of coffee has evolved into so many other variations, that choosing which drink to finally get for yourself can sometimes be an overwhelming task. But coffee shops are already helping consumers choose easily by just leading them to their list of available coffee drinks.

There are different categories of coffee that can help you separate one from the other. There's Regular Coffee, Instant Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha, Americano, and Frappe.

  • Regular Coffee - Only needs hot water and grains from coffee grounds. This is mixed and left to settle for about a minute before it can be consumed. Aside from that, regular coffee can also be just black or white. Black coffee has no other additions to it, while white coffee can be mixed with some cream or milk. Adding sugar on either variations will also depend on your personal preference.
  • Instant Coffee - Uses powdered or grainy coffee. This is a fitting drink for those who like to make their cup of coffee quick and easy to make (no more brewing time to allot). You'll just have to mix the powder with some hot water and have this drank instantly.
  • Espresso (originated in Italy) - The Espresso coffee uses nothing but fine coffee grounds of different coffee blends. This drink also has distinct flavors to it and can range from dark, medium, to decaffeinated.
  • Cappuccino - This coffee drink contains a shot of espresso and is typically covered with foamed milk on top (this helps contain the heat of the coffee), and some sprinkled powder from cinnamon or chocolate.
  • Latte (Milk in Italian) - An Espresso type that's typically made with milk that has been steamed (also has foamed milk on top of it). So if you want to fizz down the strength of the coffee taste, add some milk. But if you want it the other way around, just add two shots Espresso to your Latte.
  • Mocha (originated in Yemen) - Basically made out of Mocha beans. It can also be compared to a Cappuccino or Latte drink but is something of a sweeter version. It's usually added with some hot chocolate powder or syrup.
  • Americano (uses less roasted coffee beans) - When ordering an Americano, expect that with a single shot of Espresso, you'll be having a drink that has more hot water to it (the essence of the coffee is made less concentrated by using more water).
  • Frappe - This is only the chilled version of an Espresso drink. It's usually mixed with instant coffee, sugar, some crushed ice, cream, and water.

    Health effects of coffee: Coffee contains several compounds which are known to affect human body chemistry. The coffee bean itself contains chemicals which are mild psychotropics for humans as a defense mechanism of the Coffea plant. These chemicals are toxic in large doses, or even in their normal amount when consumed by many creatures which may otherwise have threatened the beans in the wild.
