Best Coffee Drinks
Love a good coffee drink? Or simply wondering the differences between the types? Here’s a list of the top popular coffee drinks and are easy to make at home!
1. Espresso
There’s nothing better than a bitter, rich espresso shot with a layer of foamy crema. Even better, once you’ve mastered espresso you can make a whole host of espresso drinks just like your favorite coffeeshop: the latte, cappuccino, flat white, macchiato, and more.
2. Americano
Next up: the Americano. Smooth out your espresso into a Caffe Americano, a type of coffee drink that’s tempered with a bit of hot water! This is our favorite way to drink espresso because it makes the drinking experience last a little longer, and it smooths the bitter flavor into something altogether new.
3. Cappuccino
The Cappuccino is one of the most famous of all coffee drinks, with that perfect combination of steamed milk, espresso and frothy foam. Guess what? You can make a barista-quality cappuccino at home that tastes like it’s straight out of an Italian café.
4. Latte
What's a more iconic coffee drink than the Latte? All you need is a few key tools and you can make a Cafe Latte that rivals your favorite coffeeshop. It comes out perfectly creamy and topped with frothy foam. An espresso machine is preferred, but not required.
5. Flat White
The Flat White is another coffee drink with espresso, steamed milk and a layer of foam on top! It’s similar to a latte and cappuccino but has a thinner layer of foam on top. Modern coffee shops have very small differences between these three coffee drinks, and often times the lines are blurred.
6. Macchiato
The Macchiato is another favorite coffee drink of ours, ideal for when you want a jolt of caffeine without all the extra calories. The classic definition of a Macchiato is espresso with a generous spoonful of frothy milk on top. Here we'll show you how to make a macchiato…the classic way.
7. Mocha
The Mocha is one of the most famous types of sweet coffee drinks that combines a latte with chocolate! Here's how to make one: the classic way, with no shortcuts like hot chocolate mix or whipped cream. It's to die for!
8. cold brew coffee
Let's move to cold coffee drinks, shall we? It’s smooth, it’s refreshing: and it’s easy to make at home! This homemade cold brew coffee recipe requires virtually no special equipment and takes very little hands on time. Want to step it up? Add a dollop of cold foam.
9. Coffee Soda
Try this unique way to caffeinate: the Coffee Soda! Blend equal parts soda water and cold brew coffee for this one, served up in a tall glass with ice. The flavor blew us away: it’s bittersweet and bubbly, with a brightness from the carbonation that’s reminiscent of nitro coffee.
10. Red Eye Coffee
Last up in the coffee drinks: Red Eye Coffee! When you just can’t pick between drip coffee and espresso, why not combine them? This drink is extra-caffeinated for those days where you need a little more to power through the day. If you need a quick fix: the Red Eye Coffee is where it’s at!
