WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR TYPES OF COFFEE?

-

Following are the popular types of American and European coffee that people in the UAE drink. Because people are no longer satisfied with black coffee, they experiment with java:

Espresso: The basis of almost all kinds of American and European coffees. An Espresso is an intense coffee experience. It is very strong, black and is made through the use of powerful steam and dark-roast coffee beans. Most purists will have the espresso as it is. A small shot of the coffee with a small splash of milk to add a visible mark on the surface of the coffee. Espressos are universall­y served in 30ml or 60ml cups.

Cappuccino: Cappuccino­s are one of the most popular coffee drinks and a staple in almost every coffee shop. A cappuccino is an equal mixture of espresso, steamed milk and froth. It does not taste as strong as the espresso, which is why it is a more popular choice.

Americano: An Americano is made with one shot of espresso with an added cup of hot water. A favourite of those who are dairy intolerant and prefer a low calorie way to stay awake. Some people add sugar and cream to their Americanos for more flavour.

Cafe Latte: A cafe latte is made up of one shot of espresso with three parts of steamed milk added to it.

Cafe Mocha: Not as readily available as its predecesso­rs, the ‘mochachino’ is basically a cappuccino or a Cafe Latte with the addition of chocolate powder or syrup in order to sweeten the deal for chocolate lovers.
