Coffee a necessity, an addiction, a drug whatever it is to you, let us take you
on a journey to discover the art of the perfect coffee.Coffee is one of the
worlds most popular beverages with a reported 1 billion plus cups consumed each
year. The majority of commercial coffee comes from two species of coffee beans
the Coffea robusta and Coffea arabica however there are about 25 species
worldwide that produce beans.The robusta bean is generally used in espresso
blends and instant coffee. It is a high yielding plant and thus its beans are
cheaper. It is also high in caffeine, about twice as potent as the
arabica.Arabica produces a full-bodied rich coffee, which connoisseurs consider
superior.Much coffee that is consumed is ground. The size of the grinds is
critical in determining the quality of the drink. Finely ground coffee is
similar in texture to confectioner's sugar and the resulting brew is heavy and
rich, ideal for espresso. However, if it is too finely ground it slows the
brewing process and produces a bitter taste.Medium ground coffee, which is used
for automatic drip brewing, should feel like beach sand.And coarse ground coffee
which has the texture of coarse salt is ideally suited to the percolator. If it
is too coarse however the resultant coffee will be weak and watery due to
brewing to quickly.Then there is the quick and easy instant coffee, which is
made from blending, roasting and grinding the beans into a soluble powder.Years
ago, you just had coffee. But now there are heaps of choices, each with it's on
distinct personality.Espresso aka Short Black – 20ml of strong, black coffee
served with a layer of ‘crema' on top.Affogato (which means to drown) – a coffee
ice-cream. Two thirds a glass of ice-cream with two shots of espresso poured
over top.Caffe latte (which means coffee with milk) – is an espresso topped up
with steamed milk and a little froth on top.Cappuccino – is an espresso, topped
with two thirds steamed milk and one third froth. Then with a dusting of
drinking chocolate on top.Long Black – hot water is added and then espresso on
top.Macchiato (which means stained) – is simply an espresso with a dash of warm
milk.Mocha – is an espresso blended with drinking chocolate and topped with
frothed milk.In recent years coffee has become very social and at times it can
appear a little over-whelming. At least now, next time you “go out for coffee”
you will know which one to order.Happy Coffee DrinkingLisa Paterson
