The Top 3 Most Popular Coffee Selections

Coffee is a delicious treat, but are you drinking the best of the best?

• Espresso: Espresso is a truly popular coffee choice, and it is made with finely ground dark roasted espresso beans. These coffee grounds will be placed into the portafilter of an espresso machine, and water will be forced through to extract a delicious brew. The ideal espresso shot should brew within 25 seconds, and it should be topped with a rich and thick hazelnut colored crema.
• Cappuccino: This is a wonderful coffee treat, and it is made with one third espresso and two thirds frothed milk. To froth your milk correctly, it is important to start out with cold milk in a cold metal pitcher. For the perfect foam, make sure to keep your steam wand below the surface of the milk to prevent bubbles.
• Turkish Coffee: This is a wonderful coffee variety to try, and it is made with finely ground coffee beans that almost resemble a powder. This is a sweeter coffee brew since it will often come brewed with sugar already.

Tips on Creating Latte Art

If you have become a pro at brewing your own espresso drinks, then your next step is making the finest latte art around. The best tip that I can offer you is to steam the milk in a smooth way so there are no bubbles or foam peaks. You will then want your milk to reach about 160 degrees, at which point you can pour the milk straight into your espresso shot so that it fills the cup. When the milk begins to reach the top of the latte, you will want to move your wrist from side to side so that a leaf design is created. You can finish by pouring a small stream of milk right into the middle of the leaf, but delicately so your art is still intact. And there you have it- watch out, Picasso!
