A number of coffee loving nationalities
along with coffee snobs worldwide will let you believe that straight and black is the only way to consume this fashionable drink. All I can say is that they don’t know what they are missing out on. The vast possibilities for coffee drinkers today means there is a different taste and combination for every possible mood and occasion.

We should start with coffee blends. Far from sticking to one bean to produce a single flavor
blenders invent fantastic combinations that can be a real treat to the palate. In Indonesia
Sumatran and Papua New Guinean beans are combined to produce a distinctive
rich brew. Sumatran beans are also combined with Columbian to create a dark roast with a slightly smoky taste.

Introducing flavoring to your coffee can improve even the blandest of roasts. To sweeten a bitter or acidic brew try almond
vanilla or cherry flavoring. Certain syrups produce seasonal style coffees
such as gingerbread
ideal around thanksgiving and Christmas. Melting chocolate into your coffee to create mocha has become very popular and the type of chocolate and coffee chosen can make a huge difference to the overall effect. The Yemeni roast
combined with dark chocolate
makes a really exotic blend
while a lighter effect can be achieved with an American roast and a little milk chocolate. Combining coffee with cocoa beans before you make the drink is another popular method for those coffee lovers with a sweet tooth.

If an alcoholic addition to your coffee is your preference
there are a wide variety of spirits and liqueurs to be used either as an addition or an accompaniment to your drink. A good whiskey can be combined with black coffee and brown sugar
and topped with cream to produce the perfect Irish coffee. Creamy liqueurs such as Baileys and Amarillo can be added to sweeten your drink. The Italian grappa is a popular accompaniment to an espresso
and can be drunk separately or added to the brew itself. Rum
brandy and amaretto can each be added to various coffee blends to give a heady effect.

Some of the more adventurous types of coffees available include frozen cappuccinos
perfect to give you that caffeine lift on a hot day
Macadamia and chocolate flavoring that upsets the assumption that a nutty taste is coffee shows poor quality
and mint
raspberry or coconut coffees
that don’t taste much like coffee at all!

So with all the options to choose from
it is hard to see how the coffee snobs maintain their mantra that straight and black is the only way to go. Admittedly you will not be able to make many of these varieties with your one cup coffee makers
and they may not be available from the coffee machines in the office
but a little experimentation at home or in your local caf้ can make coffee drinking a really pleasurable experience.
