29 Beautiful Coffee Fonts for Making Hipster Labels, Posters, and Signs
While water and tea remains unchallenged as two of the world’s most consumed beverage, coffee comes in a close third. No surprise there, especially with the growing number of cafes popping up everyday. Coffee remains a strong contender because of its rich flavor and flexibility. You can enjoy it hot or cold, as well as with sugary additions.
So how do people around the world enjoy their coffee?
Kinds of coffee to try
There’s more to coffee than your usual frappe. Why not surprise yourself with a different one each day? Here are a couple of suggestions:
- Black coffee – often referred to as the ‘purest form’ because it contains no other ingredients.
- Cold brew – coffee is brewed with cold water instead of hot.
- Espresso – highly concentrated, brewed under pressure.
- Caffee Americano – is basically espresso with water.
- Coffee with Milk/Cream – a combination of black coffee with milk or cream.
- Latte – made with espresso and steamed milk.
- Caffe Breve – is an espresso mixed with half-and-half steamed milk and cream, instead of just milk.
- Cafe Bombon – said to have originated in Spain, this is coffee with condensed milk on a 1:1 ratio.
- Cafe au lait – is how you would order coffee with milk in French.
- Egg coffee – popular in Vietnam, this concoction is made with egg yolks, sugar, condensed milk, and Robusta coffee.
- Eiskaffee – this German coffee drink is created with chilled coffee, vanilla ice cream, and (sometimes) sugar and whipped cream.
- Chai Latte – a flavorful invention of espresso, spiced tea, and steamed milk.
- Mocha – is basically chocolate-flavored cafe latte made by combining espresso, hot milk, sweetener (typically sugar), and chocolate flavoring/syrup.
Tired of your regular order? One of the best ways to spice up your relationship with the bean is to brew a cup at home.
How to brew coffee at home
If you’re a coffee nut, you’ll have to try making your own brew at home – even just once! It’s fun, more economical (in the long run), and you’ll get to control every aspect of the coffee journey, from bean to mug.
Brewing at home may feel overwhelming at first (and the dozens of blogs out there rarely help). But once you’re familiar with the basics, you should be able to get your first pot going. There are three key things to remember: type of coffee, roast and grind preferences, and your choice of brewing method.
First things first: how do you like your coffee? Fruity with floral hints? Or maybe deep, dark, and earthy? Most coffee beans come in two variants: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is typically sweet, with a fruity aftertaste. Arabica on the other hand, has a stronger, bolder flavor with a nutty aftertaste. Most supermarket brands and instant coffee are made from Robusta beans.
Even if you’re a beginner, it’s recommended that you begin with whole beans. Worried about picking the right ones? Go to your local shop and ask the barista about the whole beans they use for your coffee.
Next, pick a grinder. The market offers two: burr or blade grinders. Burr grinders are considered better because they can produce consistent, uniformly sized grounds that will keep the freshness and flavor of the beans. However, blade grinders are more convenient, inexpensive, and accessible. Burr grinders can be more costly, based on whether you prefer a manual or an electric one.
Lastly, choose HOW you want to brew coffee. There are four main methods:
- Pour Over/Drip – uses gravity, and a Chemex or a coffee cone.
- Plunger/Press – pick between a French Press and an AeroPress.
- Percolate – uses steam pressure from boiled water, e.g. Moka pot.
- Vacuum – really fancy brewing technique involving a siphon.
Many beginners choose the pour over method because it’s the simplest and easiest. Two things to remember though: use a narrow-spouted kettle for more control, and pour water from the inside out.
Feel free to try other processes once you’re more confident. Don’t forget to properly clean your equipment before and after use. Also, don’t grind more than you can brew! Be patient with yourself and don’t expect your first cup to be perfect. With practice, you’ll be producing better brews each time.
Before you know it, you’ll be able to impress friends and family with your coffee-making skills!
