Coffee trees belong to the Rubiaceae family, perennial evergreen shrubs or small trees.


The coffee commonly consumed daily uses coffee beans and various brewing utensils.


Coffee beans refer to the seeds inside the fruit of the coffee tree, which are then roasted using appropriate methods. A standard cup of coffee should not taste bitter. A qualified barista rigorously follows each step in the coffee-making process, resulting in a final product that exhibits varying degrees of sweetness, acidity, richness, or cleanness in flavor.


Around the world, people are increasingly fond of drinking coffee. This has led to a "coffee culture" that permeates every moment of life. People enjoy coffee at home, in the office, or at various social gatherings, which has become intertwined with fashion, modern living, work, and leisure.


Common Types of Coffee:


<h3>Espresso:</h3>Originally from Italian, meaning "made to order for you," it is commonly known as Italian espresso. Espresso is made by forcing hot water through finely ground coffee beans under high pressure, resulting in about 1/4 ounce of bitter and intensely aromatic coffee.


<h3>Espresso Macchiato: </h3>Macchiato, meaning "stained" or "marked" in Italian, is a layer of frothed milk added to espresso to maintain the coffee's temperature. The delicate and sweet froth helps to mitigate the bitterness of espresso. You can choose a macchiato if you enjoy coffee but don't want to forgo sweetness.


<h3>Americano:</h3>Made using drip coffee makers, siphon brewers, French presses, or adding water to Italian espresso. It has a lighter taste but a higher caffeine content due to the longer extraction time.


<h3>Flat White:</h3>A specialty of Malaysia with a history of over 100 years. Flat white does not refer to the color of the coffee but instead to the use of high-quality coffee beans and special skimmed milk processed using a unique technique. It retains the original color and aroma of the coffee, with a milder and softer color than regular coffee, hence the name "flat white."


<h3>Caffè Latte: </h3>The preparation of caffè latte is straightforward—pouring near-boiling milk into freshly brewed Italian espresso. There is no fixed rule on how much milk to add; it can be adjusted according to personal taste.


<h3>Espresso Con Panna:</h3>Italian for "espresso with cream," it is espresso topped with whipped cream. Some say authentic espresso con panna should be served with chocolate or toffee. First, you hold the chocolate or toffee in your mouth, then drink the coffee, allowing the flavors to bloom together in your mouth.


<h3>Cafe Breve: </h3>Similar to a latte, but instead of milk, it contains a mixture of half-and-half and cream, sometimes adding a little foam.


<h3>Cappuccino: </h3>Cappuccino is a type of Italian coffee made by mixing equal parts of Italian espresso and steamed milk foam. The color of the coffee resembles the headgear worn on their dark brown robes by Capuchin friars, hence the name. Traditional cappuccino consists of one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk, and one-third frothed milk, topped with powdered cinnamon.


Each coffee type offers a unique taste experience, reflecting the rich diversity of coffee culture.
