Coffee works wonders in our daily lifestyles. Whether it is on your breakfast table in the morning or in between your office hours or spending some quality time with your lover, coffee always makes its presence felt. It depends on your preference which coffee you want to have. Mocha, a mixture of dense milk and dark chocolate leaves a sweet taste in your mouth. The balance of coffee and chocolate has to be proper for this. If the quantity of milk is increased in place of chocolate, it becomes a latte, which is a favourite of the French. There are people who do not prefer such dense coffee. On the contrary, they like the bitterness of the espresso with a bit of brown sugar. Italians never begin their day without an espresso. Turkish coffee is black as coal. The dark, dense, sweet, and intense Turkish coffee is generally served after meals. It is now available in many cafes in our city as well. Irish coffee is for people who like to be fancy. It is as if a coffee cocktail- sweet and intense. It comes in a combination of sugar and a little quantity of Irish whiskey. The all-time favourite Cappucino with frothy designs is also there in the list.
