5 + 1 coffee for autumn and winter days from coffees.gr archives
Coffee is adapted to us, but also to the weather. We welcome autumn and winter with six coffee recipes suitable for cloudy and low temperatures.
What we call "autumnal" or "winter" coffee is not just about the temperature of the beverage, though it goes without saying that this type of coffee is, of course, hot. It has more to do with what global gastronomy calls 'comfort': simple and easy recipes that can be prepared at home and bring a sense of sweetness and warmth, either because of the flavors and aromas they carry, or because of the delicious memories they bring.
In this sense, our specialty of autumn and winter coffees could well be called "the most comfort coffees ever imagined". It's coffees designed for a rainy Sunday, hanging out with a book we love or with a few episodes of our favorite TV series - for those days that either alone or with friends, all we need is a cozy sofa, some treats, a warm blanket and, of course, a mug of coffee with special, pleasant and soothing aromas. Winter Sundays should be delicious!
