I Love Coffee

Everyday when i wake up, i used to drink 2 cups of milk coffe. Coffee makes my day lighter, it awakens my spirit and prepares my body to start an active day going to work or start my routine houseworks. At work or at home i take an afternoon break with 2 cups of coffee in my garden lounge or in my favorite rest place in the gallery or in the living room.

It is important for me to take time to drink my coffee slowly with pleasure and enjoy every bit the moment it tickles in my tongue and feel its pleasant taste.

Coffee remains the favorite drink of millions around the world. Very popular in the hot summer months, iced coffee and coffee - ice. Coffee is also used for the preparation of delicious tasting coffee cake. Many countries have their own specialty coffees, Austria, for example, its "Wiener Melange" or Italy " crema latte". Other well-known specialty of this particular drink include the mocha, espresso or cappuccino. The most popular, is still as a beverage, black or with milk,

There are numerous different types of Coffees which is confusing for many people, they should choose from - different qualities, blends and price ranges. The reason for this diversity is the careful classification of the coffee, which is based on variety, purity, bean size and taste. Many find it beneficial, instead of buying ground unground coffee. If possible, the coffee beans has to be ground in your presence. This ensures that it is freshly ground.

Tip: You can check the purity of ground coffee easily by scattering some of the powder on the water. If the coffee is pure, then the powder floats on top, because coffee absorbs water very slowly. However, if coffee contains impurities, the powder sucks the water quickly going down the bottom.

My Favorite Coffee

My favorite type of Coffee is from Nespresso. I love Roma, Indriya, Volluto, Onirio and other different flavours which make me curious and brings me into different taste adventures and enjoy numerous pleasant feelings of taste experiences.

3 tips from Nespresso to create café quality coffee at home

America

I guess Americans love Starbucks Coffe, of course at home where most have Coffee Machines and different coffee recipes.

Coffee Preparation

Filter jug
– tried and tested, and unlikely to succumb by any new-fangled technology; is still a favourite way of making coffee in Switzerland, for example. Just place the filter paper in the holder and spoon in the desired amount of ground coffee. Carefully pour in hot water and wait for the coffee to drip down into the jug.
Filter machine
An integrated heating system boils the water in the tank and with steam pressure pours it directly over the ground coffee in the filter holder.


Espresso coffee percolator This highly popular piece of kitchenware is also an Italian legend. The pot consists of two separate containers that screw together. In between them lies the ground coffee. The cold water in the bottom half of the pot is heated on the stove and, as steam pressure builds up, it passes through a solid pellet of ground coffee and into the top half of the pot.
Lever-operated machine The ground coffee is placed in the filter holder and pressed down slightly. Pulling down on the lever (a strong arm is required) presses a piston, which forces the hot water from the boiler to pass through the coffee. This procedure, which requires touch and plenty of practice, produces an espresso with a unique individual character – which is perhaps why it is the classic method that espresso connoisseurs tend to swear by.
Semiautomatic (espresso machine with automatic steam system). The ground coffee is placed in the filter holder and pressed down slightly. The filter holder is then inserted into the machine and tightened by hand. A button is pressed and hot water from the boiler is directed at high pressure through the coffee (hence the term “presso”, “espresso”). This is the system that most professionals still use, as pressing and tightening of the filter allows for individual portion control. Domestic users can also buy pre-packed individual portions of freshly ground coffee, ready for placing directly into the filter holder.
Fully-automatic Most of the procedures involved are automatic on this type of machine. When the button is pressed, a built-in mill grinds the coffee and tips it into a cylinder. A piston then presses the hot water through the coffee. The water is either heated up in a boiler or kept at a constant temperature by an instantaneous water heater.

Automatic machines with portion control
These automatic machines are designed specifically for use with pre-packed individual portions of coffee, which can be obtained in the form of capsules, pods or discs. The machine works in a similar way to a normal espresso machine, as the portions are laid in a filter holder (an operation that certain machines carry out automatically). The advantages of this system include consistency of quality and portion control, the possibility of enjoying a wide selection of different types of coffee, a clean and convenient operation.
Instant coffee Soluble freeze- or spray-dried coffee is placed into a cup or glass and stirred with hot or cold water. Unbeatably, fast and simple preparation – along with problem-free storage – are benefits that many prize and take advantage of. This type of coffee is ideal, for example, for making cocktails and other drinks that contain coffee as an ingredient, in coffee-based recipes (particularly desserts), and as a complement to or basis of more and more new creations that involve coffee.

Coffee vending machines are capable of putting the coffee in the cup and stirring it, while adding powdered milk and sugar at the same time.

Coffee

Café crème

Also known as Schümli or Schäumchen in various parts of the German-speaking world. This is the type of coffee most widely consumed in Switzerland. A café crème is easy to make at the push of a button, provided the machine is correctly adjusted. Use around 9 g (1/3 oz.) of fine-ground coffee, 120–130 ml of hot water, heated to a temperature of 88–93°C (190 - 200°F), plus full cream, coffee cream or milk according to taste.

Often served in a large cup or glass. 1 previously-prepared espresso, 75–100 ml of cold milk, approx. 100 ml of hot milk. Pour the espresso into a cup and top up with hot, steam-injected milk, normally with very little foam.

Caffé lungo

Caffè macchiato

Basically a cappuccino without most of its milk, i.e. an espresso with a thin top layer of foamed milk. Also regarded as something of a work of art (and one to impress that special someone with). Believe us – it can be done, as the picture shows. 1 previously-prepared espresso, a little foamed milk. Pour the espresso into a warmed cup and add a little milk foam.

Cappuccino

An espresso topped up with less hot milk to leave room for a layer of milk foam, sometimes with a sprinkling of cocoa powder added. Contents of cup 120–200ml. The term cappuccino comes from the Capuchin order of monks, whose name in turn derives from the hood (cappuccio) on their habit. 1 previously-prepared espresso, 100–150 ml milk. Pour the espresso into the warmed cappuccino cup, while foaming up the cold milk at the same time. Do not heat the milk to more than 65°C (150°F). Top up with foamy milk.

Espresso

The pinnacle of coffee culture. Italian in origin, but now common in many other countries. A properly-made espresso should be hazelnut brown in colour, with a slight reddish tinge, and have a fine layer of creamy foam on top (Schäumchen). 7.5-8.5 g (1/4-1/3 oz., or a little more) of fine-ground, espresso-roasted coffee, approx. 40 ml hot water, heated to 88–93°C (190 - 200°F), warmed espresso cup.

Latte macchiato

Fill a large glass about two-thirds full of milk, with a layer of foam on top. Now carefully pour a ristretto in through the foam. Note that this coffee is also a treat to look at! (as it is served in a glass). 1 previously-prepared espresso, 25 ml of cold milk, approx. 150 ml of hot milk (foamed up). Pour the cold milk into a glass and place some hot foam on top. Carefully pour the cup of espresso in on top. Spoon a little foam over to hide the place where you poured it in.

Ristretto

Also referred to as caffè corto. An espresso made with a reduced amount of water (a half to two-thirds of the normal quantity) . Ristretto literally means “restricted” or “limited” 6.8-7.5 g (1/4-1/3 oz.) of fine-ground, espresso-roasted coffee, 20–30 ml hot water, heated to 88–93°C (190 - 200°F), warmed espresso cup.
