Perk Up Your Day With a Great Cup of Coffee. Learn Here How!

 

It is incredibly easy to get a great cup of coffee in your hand, even at home. It is definitely easier to get a bad one...you would know the difference! This is by far the easiest way to perk up your lifestyle and to feel good about it, at least until your cup is empty...
Let's take a look at the various coffee drinks around and see how we can make them at home.

Make Your Own Caffe Latte At Home 

Coffee - It's about who you are!

Did you know the caffe latte is NOT an Italian drink?? It was ingeniously made up (probably by Starbucks) while assuming a pseudo Italian identity. It is however based on the foundations of espresso and frothed milk mixed up to create the literary huge All American drink.
First make an espresso. Second froth milk.
Now comes the fun part. Use a 16-ounce mug and mix the two with some sugar.
If you did well with the frothing part, you may get lucky and get some cool latte art at the top of your cup.

Make Your Own Cappuccino At Home 

Coffee - It's about who you are!

Did you know the cappuccino got its name from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin? Their monks' brown robes and top frocks resemble closely the drink's outline.
The cappuccino is an Italian drink, so let's go for the Italian recipe for making it.
First you will need an espresso and some frothed milk.
Second grab a pear-shaped 6-ounce cup (yes, the Italian drink comes in a small package!) and mix the two. Easy!

Make Your Own Espresso At Home 

Coffee - It's about who you are!

For espresso you need an espresso maker. no way around that. It does not need to cost much though!
Shop for an Italian stovetop coffee maker. The best one around is definitely the Brikka model from Bialetti. It is so popular in Italy. In fact you can't go into an Italian home without finding a set of at least few of these in the kitchen.
It comes with the instructions. Basically you need ground coffee and a stove...easy!
