Traditional Brews

Espresso might be the most well-known traditional coffee drink. It’s brewed by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans, creating a strong and concentrated shot.
Americano is made by diluting espresso with hot water. It has a similar strength to drip coffee but boasts a smoother taste.
Cappuccino is another classic. It consists of equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam. This creates a balanced and creamy drink.
Latte is quite popular, made with a shot of espresso and a generous amount of steamed milk, topped with a small amount of foam.
Mocha combines espresso with chocolate syrup or powder, and steamed milk, perfect if you enjoy a touch of sweetness in your coffee.

Modern Innovations

• Cold Brew has gained popularity recently. Coffee grounds are steeped in cold water for an extended period, resulting in a smooth, less acidic drink.
• Flat White originated in Australia. It combines a shot of espresso with steamed milk, similar to a latte but with a velvety microfoam texture.
• Nitro Coffee is a trendy option. Cold brew coffee is infused with nitrogen gas, giving it a creamy, stout-like texture.
• Matcha Latte blends finely ground green tea leaves with steamed milk. Although not made with coffee, it appeals to those looking for a caffeine boost.
• Dalgona Coffee went viral for its whipped texture. It’s made by whipping instant coffee, sugar, and water, then spooning it over milk.
• Bulletproof Coffee combines coffee, made from high quality beans with unsalted butter and a coconut oil. The ingredients are blended together, served warm and take on the look of a creamy latte.
