Black Coffee
The coffee’s name says it all. Black coffee refers to coffee that is brewed without any added ingredients such as milk, cream, sugar, or syrup. It is a simple and straightforward preparation of coffee that provides a strong, robust flavour and a boost of caffeine. People who prefer a strong coffee flavour prefer black coffee the most.
Drinking black coffee may have some potential health benefits such as:
- Caffeine, the main active ingredient in coffee, is a stimulant that can help improve focus and mental alertness
- Enhanced physical performance by increasing endurance and reducing fatigue
- Improved brain function
- Weight loss (black coffee is low in calories)
It’s important to note that excessive consumption of coffee can have negative effects on health, including increased anxiety and disrupted sleep. Additionally, some people may experience side effects such as heartburn, acid reflux, and increased heart rate after drinking coffee. It’s best to consume coffee in moderation and to talk to a doctor if you have any concerns.
Espresso
The straight espresso is the most popular coffee drink in Italy. Espresso does not contain milk. This is a strong concentration of coffee beans produced by espresso machines using a pressured stream of hot water through coffee beans. It is known for its rich, full-bodied flavour and high concentration of caffeine, which can help improve mood, energy level, mental alertness and focus. The quality of the straight espresso heavily depends on how well the coffee beans are roasted. The coffee is extracted to a small cup that has been pre-warmed, since the shoot cools very fast. Espresso is often used as the base for other coffee drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos.
Black Eye
This is an American-style drip coffee drink made with a double shot of espresso and a regular serving of coffee. It’s similar to a Red Eye coffee, which is made with a single shot of espresso. Some Black Eye coffee variations may also include flavoured syrups or other ingredients. The drink’s name comes from its appearance, which has a dark, strong flavour and a “black eye” of espresso in the centre. Sometimes is also referred to as a “double shot” or “double strength” coffee, and is favoured by those who want a stronger and more energizing coffee experience.
With an extra shot of espresso, Black Eye coffee provides a higher dose of caffeine, which can improve energy level, focus and concentration.
It’s important to note that consuming too much caffeine or drinking Black Eye coffee in large quantities can have negative effects such as increased anxiety, increased heart rate, and disrupted sleep patterns. Therefore, it’s recommended to drink Black Eye coffee in moderation. Additionally, individual tolerance to caffeine can vary, so it’s important to listen to your body and understand how it reacts to the added caffeine.
Americano
An Americano is a type of coffee drink that is made by adding hot water to a shot of espresso. The result is a coffee with a similar strength to drip coffee but with a slightly more intense and complex flavour. Americano is believed to have originated during World War II, when American soldiers in Italy would dilute their espresso shots to resemble the coffee they were used to drinking back home. The drink is called an “Americano” because it was popular among American soldiers.
The Americano is a good option for those who want a milder coffee experience with a more refined flavour. It’s also a good choice for those who want a caffeine boost without the stronger flavour and smaller serving size of straight espresso.
Drinking Americano coffee can have several benefits:
- Caffeine in Americano coffee can improve mood, energy levels and enhance mental alertness.
- Americano coffee beans contain antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
- The coffee can stimulate the digestive system and aid in digestion.
- Americano has a milder flavour compared to straight espresso, making it a good option for those who want a more refined coffee taste.
It’s important to note that consuming too much caffeine or drinking Americano coffee in large quantities can have negative effects such as increased anxiety, increased heart rate, and disrupted sleep patterns. Therefore, it’s recommended to drink Americano coffee in moderation.
Breve
Breve is an American style latte coffee. It is made with espresso and steamed half-and-half (a mixture of half whole milk and half heavy cream) instead of regular milk. The result is a coffee with a creamy and slightly sweeter taste. Breve is favoured by those who want a rich, creamy coffee drink without the sweetness of flavoured syrups or added sugar.
It’s important to note that Breve coffee is higher in fat and calories compared to regular coffee drinks, due to the addition of half-and-half. Drinking Breve coffee in moderation and being mindful of portion size can help reduce its impact on calorie intake.
Mocha Cafe
Mocha Cafe is also known as mocaccino. A Mocha is a type of coffee drink that is made with espresso shot, steamed milk, and chocolate syrup or powder. The chocolate syrup gives the Mocha its signature sweet and rich chocolate flavour. Sometimes, whipped cream is added on top for an extra indulgent treat. Mochas are often topped with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings, giving them a classic, sophisticated appearance.
The combination of coffee, milk, and the sweet chocolate creates a delicious and indulgent treat that can be a satisfying pick-me-up.
Mochas are often higher in sugar and calories compared to regular coffee drinks, due to the addition of chocolate syrup, so it’s recommended to drink Mocha coffee in moderation.
Cappuccino
Cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink made with espresso shots, foamed milk, and steamed milk. The drink is traditionally served in a small cup and has a distinctive, layered appearance with a thick layer of milk foam on top.

Cappuccino coffee is also well-known for its artwork. Cinnamon, nutmeg or chocolate shavings can be added to the top for flavour and decoration. Traditionally taken at breakfast with some pastry.

The steamed milk balances out the strong flavour of the espresso, making it a well-rounded and approachable coffee drink.

The actual ingredients and method of preparation can vary, but the general idea is to make a coffee drink that is as strong and caffeinated as possible. Some people make Triple Death coffee by adding extra shots of espresso to a regular coffee drink, while others use a blend of coffee beans that are known for their high caffeine content.
