In contrast, coffee with added milk, syrup, alcohol, and other flavorings is collectively referred to as fancy coffee. This article will systematically sort out the definition of black coffee, common categories, and its differences from fancy coffee, helping coffee lovers be clearer when ordering. [more…]
