Grab a cup ‘o Joe and share what’s on your mind for an hour on this Saturday, April 26.
Coffee, Coffee. Sensational Coffee! There are so many types and ways of preparing coffee that it could be way to overwhelming to get your head and brain around it all. Frequently, we just get what we know the taste of – like a cappucino – and run with it.
Here’s a quick list of the Top 10 Ways of Preparing Coffee in our society. Obviously, there are more. But we’ll dig into it next time.
RISTRETTO
A very concentrated espresso. Usually 22 ml in a cute coffee cup like this one!

MOCHA
It’s for those with a sweet tooth! A balanced mixture of Espresso 60 ml, Chocolate 60 ml,
topped with 30 ml of Steamed Milk.

MACCHIATO
If you love it straight, here we go with a 1 or 2 shots of Espresso and just a decorative dot of foamed milk!

ESPRESSO
It’s a King and base for many ways of preparing coffee. That’s where the coffee power is concentrated!

Doppio
Oh, yes, Italian rules here! “Doppio” means “double.” It basically doubles the Espresso power into one cup!

Cappucino
Is one of the most faved drinks ever! Majority of us know what it is. And if you are an experience coffee drinker,
you know what a True Cappucino tastes! >>>
>>> Equal parts of Espresso, Steamed Milk and Foamed Milk.

Cafe Hoisette
With that a bit of a strange sounding name, it should taste great! And it does.
This fancy name carries a big shot of Espresso with half of milk that goes into latte.

Cafe Au Lait
This Brewed Coffee with a shot of Warm Steamed Milk. Love it! Just plain coffee with milk.

AMERICANO
Surprisingly, if you do love coffee, but want it a bit with less “straight” taste, Americano would deliver!
It brings to you a shot of Espresso with Twice the amount of Water!

I want to test a keurig that makes cappuccinos! Yum and hello good morning
hello Neko
What is there to test besides a Keurig? Oh an espresso machine? I’d like to try something simple and easy to clean. Something that’s quick to brew 🙂
I won a Keurig about 6 months ago . I love it except that the old cups dont fit it….It takes a larger one. All the freebies that I have gotten from them are the smaller cups….its a bummer
GM I would love to try most of these coffees including Cappecino, Frappachino, Au Latte love flavored coffees. Also, you asked what type of coffee machines we’d like to try and I think Keurig and others would be great to test out. As a coffee lover am open to all suggestions.
Im a True Coffee-oholic LOL I drink it all day and through the evening sometimes. I own both a Bunn and a Keurig…….I would like to try a nice little machine that makes a quick Cappuccino
Love looking at all these coffees all look good, as sitting here drinking mine as do all day, lol. Many have not tried but love flavored coffee, why wish had keurig so could switch more. 🙂
I went to get a cup of coffee and it all got quiet here lol
Julie,
It’s just a beginning of the day!
Let’s get inspired looking at these coffees! And have a sip from our own cup!
Let me know what Coffee Machine you’d love to receive for Mother’s Day or any day!
I want something easy but different help
I really would love to receive a New Bunn………I love my coffee all sorts of different ways so to be able to start with just a plain cup and add my own flavors and toppings . That would be a dream….I guess Im a tried and True Bunn fan
