Coffee is one of the most consumed drinks in the world, present in practically all cultures. However, according to some experts, most people order it wrong, either because they do not know the possibilities or, directly, because they do not know the names in Italian.
The TikTok user recently spoke about this topic @ikorekofi, a specialized barista who uses his social networks to share different aspects of his profession. In one of his most recent videos, he explains that 80% of customers usually order coffee wrong, and teaches how to order each type.
According to the barista, it all starts with the espresso (black coffee), which is the basis of all orders. It is usually small, intense and with as much body as possible. From there, all the variations arise. For example, the ‘macchiato’ It is achieved by adding a little cream to the espresso, just enough to “stain” the drink, as its name suggests.
For those who prefer a softer but equally aromatic coffee, the ‘American’ It is the best option. It is prepared by adding hot water to espresso in the desired amount, which dilutes its intensity without losing flavor. The opposite, he explains, would be the ‘long black’, where you start with hot water and add the espresso later.
Then comes the turn of the ‘latte macchiato’a kind of cut where, first, hot milk is served, which is then “stained” with a little coffee. On the other hand, the ‘flat white’ combines a double espresso with a thin layer of crema.
Finally, there is the classic ‘cappuccino’which is also based on an espresso, but is completed with consistent and dense steamed milk cream, instead of liquid milk. This detail is what gives it its characteristic texture.
At the end of the video, the barista insists that knowing these differences improves the consumer experience and makes the baristas’ work easier. «There are many types of coffee, and everyone chooses the one they like the most. “What is yours?” concludes @ikorekofi.
