    Why is chocolate milk on this graphic but not regular (non-espresso) coffee? The chocolate milk is the only thing without espresso in it.

        If that’s the reason, I guess the graphic would be better labeled as “Drinks available in Italian cafes”.

        Espresso is coffee brewed by forcing water through the grounds at high pressure. As opposed to “regular” coffee made in something like a drip coffee maker, pour over cone, or French press.

              Right, as a homebrewer I figured that might be an interesting experiment. Just use some darker malts and make a mini pot of wort. It’d be roasty and sweet.

            If you have a cold brew pot or similiar

            Some find the taste of coffe replacements lacking, i added green tea (hot poured to make it bitter), linden blossom tea (as stimmulanz) and camomille (i get heartburn from too much linden). It’s quite tasty and healthy!

            My motivation came, after i tried to find some ecologically friendly coffe with no slavery.

            Btw. Just found this by chance.

        Espresso is so much better. The coffee is more full-bodied, smooth, and nuanced. You must not have had good espresso.

        Drip coffee is just dirty water.

                This looks like a very enjoyable bean! Thanks for introducing me to Kuva, seems like a good brand. Unfortunately they only ship within the US, but I this makes sense - don’t want to get stale beans delivered overseas.

                I’ve just moved to a new city and am trying out a local roaster’s bourbon and caturra from Guatemala .

            I’d highly recommend trying Vietnamese coffee. I’m the same way in that any coffee will do, but it’s become my latest vice. It’s a great middle ground between espresso (which I find a bit too strong) and drip/pour over coffee (which I like, but I prefer something a bit stronger). It’s made with slightly compressed grounds in a phin (Vietnamese coffee filter) and is basically just a slower pour over that you mix with a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk.

            It’s a very interesting flavor and tends to be much easier on your stomach because of the lower volume of coffee.

            If you live in the US, most coffee places try really really hard to be like Starbucks, which is to say they use low quality coffee, load their drinks with sugar, and don’t actually know how to tamp properly.

            I get mad at coffee shops for copying Starbucks because SB is just so bad.

            I’ve been using an espresso machine for a couple years and have admittedly become a snob about it because the flavor of proper espresso with good steamed milk is awesome.

      I’ve personally have never heard of coconut milk in cà phê sữa đá (iced [condensed] milk coffee) before.

      You must be thinking about cà phê dừa (coconut coffee), which usually has coconut milk and condensed milk

      Though a hot small cup of cà phê trứng (egg coffee) is the best. You beat egg yolk into condensed milk and sugar, and then pour it into coffee. And it’s so nice and creamy

      I used to be all about a latte macchiato with an extra shot, then I got hooked on café con leche. After I returned home I found out a flat white is as close as you can get, without being a jerk who explains their custom order to every barista.

      First time trying a flat white my wife and I had an epiphany. We always ordered cappuccino but didn’t care about the foam. Now it’s our go to coffee, unless I need to get a real energy boost. In that case ristretto or espresso with sugar is my go to.

      I know this is a joke but as a burgeoning espresso snob, I can’t help myself from explaining:

      A ristretto’s importance is in its stronger coffee flavor. It’s the same amount of coffee, but with less water run through the grounds. In a standard espresso, that last little bit of coffee added beyond a ristretto pull is much more watery, and so it mellows out the flavor. A ristretto is sharper and more of a punch. In my opinion, its most effective use is in a flat white, in which the aim is to remove as much water from the equation as possible and really let the coffee flavor shine through into the smaller amount of milk. Both ingredients’ flavors are more apparent in a flat white than in, say, a latte, which is in some regards a watered down flat white.

    Neat. This has more than one seen on other charts. I guess only Italian variations, though? I was looking for cortado, but it’s Spanish. It’s most similar to the flat white but with 50/50 espresso and milk

        Never heard of it. Convergent evolution at work!

        Espresso is good but how about a little sweetenertried a few things landed on not just brown sugar but dark brown sugar. Mocha is good so let’s try chocolate powder too, dialed it in. Vanilla is nice with both brown sugar and chocolate let’s at that too.

        I might try a sprinkle of powdered salt on top next

          Yep - Italian cappuccino has no chocolate foam and the variation is the amount of milk. All of them, including the flat white, use steamed milk with variations on the foam by how it’s been steamed (i.e. introducing a lot of foam or next to none).
