Coffee & Espresso Drinks
Cafe Macchiato Starbucks With all due respect to our friends at Starbucks, their version of the macchiato is not a macchiato at all. It is actually more akin to a vanilla latte with caramel drizzle. It's still tasty though and we give credit where it is due.
Cappuccino With all due respect to our friends at Starbucks, their version of the macchiato is not a macchiato at all. It is actually more akin to a vanilla latte with caramel drizzle. It's still tasty though and we give credit where it is due.
Espresso Espresso is a coffee-making method of Italian origin, in which a small amount of nearly boiling water is forced under pressure through finely-ground coffee beans. Espresso coffee can be made with a wide variety of coffee beans and roasts, but generally made with darker roasts in the US. Espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods, has a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, and has crema on top (a foam with a creamy consistency). As a result of the pressurized brewing process, the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso are very concentrated.
Cafe au Lait Caf? au lait; French for "coffee with milk") is coffee with hot milk added. It differs from white coffee, which is coffee with cold milk or other whiteners added.
Cafe Latte Cafe latte (or simply latte) is a coffee drink made with espresso and steamed milk. The word comes from the Italian caff? e latte, caffelatte or caffellatte, which means "coffee & milk". A latte is a very "wet" cappuccino in a sense. There is very little foam in a latte compared to a cappuccino.
Cafe Mocha A caf? mocha, also called mocaccino, is a chocolate-flavoured variant of a caff? latte. The name is derived from the city of Mocha, Yemen, which was one of the centers of early coffee trade. It is essentially a latte with chocolate sauce. It is sometimes made by steaming milk, cocoa and sugar at the same time.
Chemex Drip The Chemex is an hourglass shaped pot that holds a filter that holds the coffee grounds while the barista manually pours hot water over them. The filters are much more densely woven than traditional coffee filters. They help to regulate the flow of coffee while removing much of the body and coffee oils. The filter slows down the flow of water passed through it, resulting in a better developed "cleaner" flavor. Some people liken it to how James Bond order a weak martini.
Cafe Breve A Cafe Breve is an American variation of a latte: a milk-based espresso drink using steamed half-and-half mixture of milk and cream instead of milk.
Pour Over Pour overs are essentially a very manually made cup of coffee as opposed to an automatic brewer. By controlling the precision of the coffee amount and the water by hand, a richer, fuller coffee can be made. Pouring water evenly over the grounds to create a mushroom effect on the grounds ensures that the coffee granules are evenly saturated. This requires a kettle, cone filter and a very precise scale.
Red Eye Essentially fresh brewed coffee with an espresso shot. There are some slang terms for the number of types of espresso shots. One Shot=Red Eye, Two Shots=Black Eye, Three Shots=Blind Eye and Four Shots=Crazy Eye. If made with decaffeinated shots it is referred to as a Canadian. If made with one shot of regular espresso and one shot of decaf espresso it is sometimes referred to as a French Canadian or a Lazy Eye.
Cortado, 8 oz. A cortado is a beverage consisting of espresso mixed with a roughly equal amount of warm milk to reduce the acidity. The milk in a cortado is steamed, but not frothy and "texturized" as in many Italian coffee drinks. The word cortado is the past participle of the Spanish verb cortar (to cut), in the sense of "dilute", and can refer variously to either coffee or espresso drinks throughout Spain, Portugal and Cuba.
Flat White A flat white is a coffee drink consisting of espresso with microfoam (steamed milk with small, fine bubbles and a glossy or velvety consistency). It is comparable to a latte, but smaller in volume and with less microfoam, therefore having a higher proportion of coffee to milk, and milk that is more velvety in consistency - allowing the espresso to dominate the flavour, while being supported by the milk.
French Press French Presses use a metal filter with a plunger that allows natural oils and fine particles from the coffee beans to pass through into your cup. This is what gives French Press coffee it's rich and hearty body compared to brewing methods that use a paper filter such as a Chemex, Hario or Aeropress.
Aeropress, 12 oz. The AeroPress is a device for brewing coffee. Coffee is steeped for 10-50 seconds (depending on grind and preferred strength) and then forced through a filter by pressing the plunger through the tube. The filters used are either the AeroPress paper filters or disc shaped thin metal filters. The result is an espresso strength concentration of coffee The gentle air pressure of the AEROPRESS extracts extra flavor from the coffee. Ordinary drip brewers leave a lot of flavor in their soggy grounds. The drip method cannot make a robust single cup because the small amount of water doesn't heat the bed enough for rich extraction. It is also slow.
Siphon Brew, 12 oz. Siphon coffee brewers, aka vacuum pots, are yet another way to create a unique flavor profile for coffee. The barista fills a pot with cold water, seal another pot on top of it filled with ground coffee and then puts it on a heat sources. Once the water gets hot in the lower pot, it is forced by steam pressure into the upper pot where it mixes with the ground coffee. After the coffee is brewed, both pots are taken off of the heat source. As the lower pot cools the coffee is sucked down through a metal, cloth or glass filter. It is a very "showy" way to make coffee and it can produce a wonderful cup.
Turkish Coffee, 8 oz. Turkish coffee refers to a method of brewing very finely ground coffee with sugar. The beans must be ground to a very fine powder, which is left in the coffee when served. Turkish coffee is made by bringing the powdered coffee with water and usually sugar to the boil in a special pot called cezve in Turkey. As soon as the mixture begins to froth, and before it boils over, it is taken off the heat; it may be briefly reheated twice more to increase the desired froth. The coffee is traditionally served in a special type of small porcelain cup called a kahve finjan?. Sugar is added to Turkish coffee while brewing, so the amount of sugar must be specified when preparing the coffee. This is very manually intensive and this costs more to produce.
Bullet Proof Coffee Bulletproof coffee is a high-calorie coffee drink intended to replace breakfast. It consists of coffee, grass-fed unsalted butter, and MCT oil mixed in a blender or by a frothing tool. Among Bulletproof coffee's alleged benefits: It triggers weight loss by way of ketosis, a metabolic state triggered by a lack of carbs that kicks fat-burning into overdrive; it kills pesky cravings; and it boosts cognitive function, mainlining a shining dose of mental clarity into your foggy morning skull.
Lovers Coffee Otherwise known as "sex" coffee, it is made with ingredients long believed to be aphrodisiacs. Made with fresh brewed coffee, maca powder, raw cacao, cinnamon, honey and coconut milk and blended with a frothing tool. We will let you research the claims being made and determine for yourself if it has any benefits. No need to report back.
Whipped Coffee The latest coffee craze that can be served hot or cold. The concept is simple: water, sugar, and instant coffee are whipped together into an airy, foam-like pudding mixture that is poured over a glass of milk.
Cafe Americano Essentially fresh brewed coffee with an espresso shot. There are some slang terms for the number of types of espresso shots. One Shot=Red Eye, Two Shots=Black Eye, Three Shots=Blind Eye and Four Shots=Crazy Eye. If made with decaffeinated shots it is referred to as a Canadian. If made with one shot of regular espresso and one shot of decaf espresso it is sometimes referred to as a French Canadian or a Lazy Eye.

Kombucha Kombucha starts out as a sugary tea, which is then fermented with the help of a scoby. ?SCOBY? is actually an acronym for ?symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.? The scoby bacteria and yeast eat most of the sugar in the tea, transforming the tea into a refreshingly fizzy, slightly sour fermented (but mostly non-alcoholic) beverage that is relatively low in calories and sugar.
