Espresso
At the heart of it all is the espresso shot – a rich, concentrated coffee made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans. Whether you enjoy it neat or use it as a base for other drinks, espresso is the foundation of countless coffee creations.
For a unique twist on your espresso experience, try The Gales of November, which brings its own distinct flavor profile to the classic espresso shot.
Cappuccino
This beloved coffee drink features a balance of espresso, steamed milk, and foamed milk. The key to a great cappuccino is achieving the right proportions, resulting in a creamy texture with a robust espresso kick beneath the foam.
Latte
If you're a fan of milk but still want that espresso punch, the latte is your go-to choice. With more steamed milk than a cappuccino and a light topping of foam, it offers a smooth and comforting coffee experience.
For convenient espresso enjoyment, consider the 12 Pack Single Serve Coffee Capsules, perfect for crafting lattes with minimal fuss.
Macchiato
The macchiato, which means "stained" in Italian, is a simple yet delightful drink where espresso is "stained" with a small amount of milk or foam. Its stronger coffee notes cater to those who prefer a more intense taste.
Mocha
The mocha is a delightful blend for anyone who loves chocolate with their coffee. Combining espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate syrup, it serves up a sweet and indulgent treat.
Flat White
Originating from Australia and New Zealand, the flat white is akin to a latte but with a stronger coffee flavor. It's crafted with espresso and microfoamed milk, creating a velvety texture and robust taste.
As you explore these drinks, experimenting with different beans can greatly enhance your experience. For a hint of sweetness, try the French Vanilla Coffee.
