In case you didn't know this already....
- Espresso {coffee with water filtered through - very quickly. Brew is very strong.}
- Drip {coffee with water filtered through - slower than espresso. Brew is not as strong as espresso.}
- Americano {brewed with equal parts of espresso and water.}
- Latte {espresso shots with steamed milk.}
- Cappuccino {espresso shots with steamed milk & foam with milk/foam in equal portions}.
Lattes are delicious. Lattes made with creamy, delicious goat milk are marvelous and addicting.
Lately, however, I've been enjoying the understated Americano "with room". "With room - leaves room for a splash of half & half or goat milk.
The other day my husband topped my Americano with a sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon.
BRILLIANT! It was just the touch. It gives it a little special flavor without sweetener.
When I was in college, I used to brew up a pot of coffee with a teaspoon of cinnamon in with the grounds, but I had forgotten just how yummy that was.
I love it so much that I switched out my salt and pepper shakers so I could have them available for cinnamon and nutmeg.
It's delish. So, if you are tiring of your regular cup o' joe, switch it up a little and add a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg.
You may be a snob but I am the coffee expert.
ReplyDeleteGood to know, Mr. Blanchet! (haha)
ReplyDeleteCinnamon and Nutmeg sounds delicious in coffee though :)
Our family loves cinnamon & sugar on toast... so we've actually got a second pair of salt and pepper shakers we use for that!
Thank you for the coffee definitions! I can never get them straight, and half the time I don't know what the differences are. =) But I suppose that really doesn't matter since I don't like coffee. And I do know what the differences are between like black tea, and green tea, etc. So that's good. =D
