1. Mocha Coffee
This coffee is served in a delicate, small cup and exudes a rich New York style.
Steps: First put 20 ml of chocolate syrup into the cup, then pour in highly concentrated dark roast coffee liquid and stir well. Then cover the surface with a large spoonful of whipped cream, sprinkle a little chocolate shavings for garnish, and finally insert a cinnamon stick.
2. Mocha Mint Coffee
The specialty of Mocha Mint Coffee is "cold cream covering hot coffee" - the cream floats on top, staying icy and sweet, while the coffee below remains warm, allowing you to feel the fun of alternating cold and hot when unstirred. This chocolate-mint flavored coffee is deeply loved by Americans, with the mint and coffee flavors balanced just right.
Steps: In the cup, add 20 g of chocolate, dark roast coffee liquid, and 1 small spoon of white mint in sequence, top with a large spoonful of cream, shave some chocolate on the surface, and finally place a mint leaf for decoration.
3. Cappuccino
The color of this coffee reminds people of the hood of Italian monks, hence the name Cappuccino (cream chunk coffee). Paired with a cinnamon stick and squeezed with lemon juice, the flavor layers become even richer and more complex.
Steps: Heat dark roast coffee in advance, pour it into a small coffee cup, add 2 small spoons of granulated sugar, place a large spoonful of cream on the surface, squeeze on lemon juice or orange juice, and insert a cinnamon stick into the cup instead of a small spoon.
4. Coffee with Coconut Juice and Cream Chunks
This coffee has a rich coconut aroma, with the coconut fragrance very prominent.
Steps: First drop 2 drops of coconut essence into the cup, pour in dark roast coffee and 60 ml of boiled milk, add a spoonful of cream floating on the surface, and sprinkle cooked coconut powder for decoration.
5. Mixed Coffee
Blend coffee and milk in equal amounts to make Viennese-style milk coffee.
Steps: First pour slightly dark roasted coffee into the cup, take an equal amount of milk and heat it in a small pot over low heat, add cream before it foams, and pour it into the coffee while the foam has not yet dissipated.
6. Neapolitan-Style Coffee
This is a strong-tasting, hotter morning coffee, which young Americans habitually call "Dawn Coffee."
Steps: Pour dark roast coffee into a mug, place a slice of lemon on the surface, and drink it in the dark.
7. Hot Mocca Java
Russian coffee, also called Hot Mocca Java, has a very mellow coffee taste.
Steps: Heat dark roast coffee, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, egg yolk, and a small amount of milk together and stir thoroughly, add 1 small spoon of granulated sugar and mix well, then pour into a cup, add a large spoonful of cream on the surface, and shave chocolate on top for decoration.
8. Indian Coffee
For Indian coffee, it is suitable to buy paired mugs, or collect them one by one according to your favorite brands. When collecting individually, first decide on a theme, then choose by color and pattern, and they can also be displayed as a collection. Adding a little salt can enhance the natural sweetness of the milk. When you pick up the mug to drink, your whole body will feel warm.
Steps: Pour milk into a pot and heat it, add dark roast coffee and 10 g of brown sugar before it boils, then add a little salt, and stir thoroughly.
9. Turkish Coffee
After Turks finish drinking coffee, they are accustomed to observing the shape of the coffee grounds left at the bottom of the cup to divine the day's fortune.
Steps: Put very finely ground dark roast coffee and spices such as cinnamon into a milk basin, stir well, then pour into a pot, add water, and boil three times before removing from heat. After the powder settles, pour the clear liquid on top into a cup, slowly add orange juice and honey, and it is ready.
10. Iced Cream Chunk Coffee
This coffee does not use ice cubes, but is chilled instead. What is introduced here is the American method of making ice cubes from coffee.
Steps: Put coffee ice cubes into a glass, pour in sweetened boiled milk, then slowly pour iced coffee from above, and at this point the milk and coffee will form two layers, top and bottom. The top layer is milk foam, and sprinkling some cinnamon powder for decoration is enough.
