Is there a better milk coffee than a cappuccino? I always thought cappuccino was the king of milk-based coffee. For years, it was my favorite. But one day, a barista friend of mine, who happens to be an expert in French coffee drinks, introduced me to something new. He handed me a cup and said,…
Have you ever tried spiced coffee? One day, a friend and I decided to check out a small African coffee shop tucked away in the city. We had no idea what to order, so the barista suggested Café Touba. “It’s a spiced Senegalese coffee,” he said with a smile. I took one sip, and wow!…
The first time I tried an Espresso Corretto, I had no idea which liquor to use. A friend handed me a bottle of Nardini Grappa, and let’s say—it was a bold introduction. The intense heat of the spirit mixed with the rich, bitter espresso was unlike anything I had tasted before. At first, I wasn’t…
