Which coffee fits every hour of the day?

Οι επιλογές από τον κόσμο του καφέ δεν τελειώνουν ποτέ!

Coffee is a beverage that is enjoyed every hour of the day: an essential ingredient of a good breakfast, a faithful companion at work, an excellent dinner closure, a relaxing afternoon cup… Every coffee lover has his or her own personal taste, and there are few those who stick with a particular coffee, never minding to change it - coffee is mania and passion.

However, the fact is that some coffees fit a little more than others. Whatever our personal taste (which is, of course, what will determine the coffee we enjoy), we have prepared a small guide to the best coffees at any time of the day - though it matters, first and always, good coffee!

Which coffee fits every hour of the day?

For Breakfast: Cappuccino

Cappuccino, the combination of espresso, milk and foam, is perhaps the archetypical morning coffee, and justifiably, as it combines the intense flavor and kick of the mighty espresso with the velvety texture of the milk. In his home country of Italy, cappuccino is usually served at breakfast, and is usually accompanied by a light puff pastry. The Italians used to be so strict with the cappuccino's "timetable" that one simple way to distinguish tourists from the locals in an Italian cafe was to notice which tables had a cappuccino after 11am.

Tip: Prefer a strong espresso blend, so that the cappuccino keeps the coffee intense and unchanged after adding the milk. Ideally blends with a Robusta content of 30% - 40%, such as Hausbrandt Trieste, Lavazza Tierra Brasile, Cagliari Gran Caffe or Segafredo Extra Strong .

At the office: Filter Coffee

Although it is a fact that in Greece filter coffee has never managed to reach a fanatical audience, it may be time to re-evaluate it. Sure, it does not have the dense texture, cream and concentrate of espresso, but if prepared properly, it has a clear, clear taste and a pleasant aroma. The fact that it can be easily prepared in large quantities, that it fills a large mug and does not lose its flavor when its temperature drops makes it even more ideal for workplaces.

Tip: Choose a tasty, strong coffee like Eduscho Premium or Plantage, and follow some simple tips that will make your coffee tastier.

For Closing a dinner: Espresso

There is no doubt that Italians know very well what they do when they close their dinner with an espresso. Sweet, concentrated flavor, espresso is drunk in a few sips, does not burden the stomach and has digestive action. In his home country, espresso is the established closure of almost every meal, even at dinners, a habit which in our own data may seem a little strange. However, no one denies that an espresso shot is a burst of flavor, a little enjoyment at any time of the day, and especially for lunch.

Τip: Prefer a sweet, aromatic 100% Arabica blend, which in the espresso extract will unfold all its aromas, like Danesi Gold, τον Lavazza Tierra, Passalacqua Mekico or Sant Eustachio from Rome.

For a relaxed afternoon: Cold Brew

In Greece, from the omnipotence of frappe to the "patent" of Freddo Espresso, we have always loved cold coffee. The latest trend in iced coffees is Cold Brew, the cold-brew coffee that slowly conquers its own fanatical audience. Thanks to its soft taste, natural sweetness and light nature, Cold Brew is the perfect coffee for an afternoon coffee break, especially in summer - but why not in winter.

Τip:  Prepare Cold Brew at home with some simple steps, and don't forget to try a Cold Brew Latte, adding some milk.

For Late Night Coffee Addicts: Decaf

It is a fact that in the past, decaffeinated coffee sounded like a nasty joke to all coffee makers, mainly due to the caffeine removal process, which left the coffee tasteless and flavored and also added various chemicals. Today, however, the process of decaffeination is completely natural and without any additional chemicals, and the taste and aroma are hardly altered at all. A caffeine-free espresso espresso shot (or ... above) retains all the flavor, but it won't make us overnight if we drink a little more.

Tip: Caffeine-free blends are available for all types of machines, namely beans, ground coffee and coffee capsules.

The world of coffee is truly endless - since we can spend a 24-hour full of coffee, constantly enjoying different extracts, flavors, and flavors!
