What are some types of coffee and how to decide?

But what is a perfect cup? That depends of what the the person taste type is and everyone has different taste in coffee which is why Lisa’s coffee will provide good options in coffee choices.In the coffee world we have many different types of coffee.Some of the most common types of coffee are:

  • American coffee

  • Espresso

All coffee have at least one of the three basic components which is espresso,steamed milk,and foam.Because there are many types of coffee available it can be very difficult to decide which is right for you.You can narrow down fairly quickly and easy like:

  1. Do you need a lot of caffeine? To wake you up?
  2. Or will any amount of espresso help wake you up?
  3. How important are health benefits of drinking coffee?
  4. Consider whether you like hot or cold?
  5. Sweet or strong coffee?

Hot Coffee Variety:

Hot coffee has a wide variety despite boiling down to having three common ingredients espresso, steamed milk and foam.Everything else added to a hot drink is based on personal preference.Get anything from cappuccinos, mochas, latte macchiato or frappe.

Americano is a shot of espresso that is diluted with hot water and completed with a light layer of cream on top.Americano’s are rich, intense and distinctive in taste. The strength of the drink is dependent on the number of the espresso shots you add.For many the ideal way to enjoy the smoothness of espresso while maintaining the consistency of a drip-brew.A benefit of drinking Americanos is the lower-calorie and nonexistent fat counts compared to regular coffee.A few of variations of Amerciano since its initial appearance.One variation is the lungo,which extracts the espresso shot longer this extends time and adds more volume,but also comes with more bitter flavors.Another variation is the Caffe crema, which is basically a lungo that is extracted even longer. A third is red-eye known as “a shot in the dark.” Making the red-eye baristas will use a drip of coffee instead of hot water to make a thinner liquid by adding water or another solvent to it to the espresso.Americano are one of the popular types of coffee.

Black coffee is the simplest and the healthiest coffee type available.The ground coffee beans are steamed by the hot water within the drip machine and that’s all because it is served like that the coffee will taste strong and be bitter.A lot of people that enjoy coffee considers black coffee as an acquired taste because of how bitter it comes.The health benefits to this simple brew are tempting and make up for the extreme bitterness.It’s like eating dark chocolate takes time to adjust to taste so you can recognize the finer flavors hidden beneath that extreme first impressions.According to studies medically reviewed publications, black coffee can can improve memory ,metabolic activities with one or two cups a day greatly reduce developing cardiovascular disease.Also believed that black coffee burns fat.

Cappuccino is one of my favorite drinks when visiting coffee shops. These are the latte art decorations that are often drawn into the steamed milk foam.The popular drink is made by layering a balanced ratio of espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam in that order thus is to ensure the cappuccinos’ bold and rich flavors, as well as to maintain it’s thick, foamy texture.It’s common to add flavored syrups and other toppings such as chocolate powder, to further sweeten the drink.Some popular flavored syrups are caramel, chocolate and vanilla but then possibilities are not limited to these three.It’s revealed that medical studies that a cup of a cappuccino a day without exceeding 180 ml providing excellent health benefits.Some benefits include preventing heart problems and bad cholesterol also improving digestion and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.Cappuccinos is one of the best types of coffee plus one of the most well known coffee types ever.

Espresso is not a type of coffee but a way to make coffee because they are made with a shot of water instead of a liter of water per cup of ground coffee espressos are basically highly concentrated coffee.You can expect espressos to have more heightened range of a particular type of flavors compared to regular cup of coffee.This can mean stronger and more bitter cups,which flavors that amplified spending on coffee roast.You can expect thicker and creamier textures than coffee, almost like what you see with cappuccinos.other variations of coffee, there are health benefits when drinking a cup or two a day, with the added benefit of having little to no calories. Espressos are packed with antioxidants, providing enough protection against infections. Drinking espressos every day can also provide an improvement in your concentration and memory.

Latte Thanks to customization, lattes are among the most popular coffee choices anything from sweet to herbal can be added to them.Latte art can be added to complete the drink.Lattes are similar to cappuccinos because they are also made with espresso, steamed milk and milk foam.Lattes have more steamed milk the ingredients are mixed together instead of being layer like cappuccinos.Cappuccinos are the many espresso based drinks but lattes are not very strong in taste, because they are heavier with milk than coffee.To being milkier than their counterparts, they are sweeter than most coffee even though still not as sweet as you will find in mochas.

             This especially becomes the case when shots of flavor, such as pumpkin spice or hazelnut, are added. Also, while cappuccinos are milk foam, lattes are creamy and smooth thanks to the extra helping of steamed milk.A cup a day can aid in burning fat, and with more natural flavors such as beetroot or turmeric you can improve your memory and relieve muscle aches.

    Macchiato is a fan favorite for coffee drinkers who enjoy the bitterness that naturally comes in coffee.There are two different ways to make this drink: one is more espresso than milk to make an espresso macchiato, and the other one is  more milk than espresso to make a latte macchiato.Macchiatos are similar to lattes and cappuccinos, and it’s not uncommon for people to mistake tree of each other as it is the more popular macchiatos are the most similarities with lattes because they are both heavies with milk.Popular drizzles to add the creamy drink are vanilla, caramel and hazelnut.There’s a difference between macchiatos and it’s the order in which the ingredients are added for example,

      For example, lattes add milk to the espresso, but macchiatos do the reverse because the  espresso is added to milk. In terms of taste, it is generally agreed that macchiatos have a pleasant smell, and are considered a fair compromise between the strength of espresso and the lighter touch of a cappuccino.The espresso macchiatos have a bolder and richer taste than cappuccinos, while the latte macchiatos make for fair competitors with lattes in terms of sweet, creamy goodness. The benefits of drinking include preventing high blood pressure, maintaining liver health, and promoting weight loss.
