How to Make a Perfect Cup of
Kona Coffee
The best brewing method is an automatic
drip system with a paper filter. Use fresh, cold
water. Add one tablespoon of Kona Coffee per
6 oz. of water. For peak flavor, keep the brewed
coffee warm and consume within one hour.
For iced Kona Coffee, brew slightly
stronger. Cool to room temperature before pouring
over ice.
Once the bag of Kona Coffee is
opened, seal tightly and store in the refrigerator.
Espresso Revolution
A grande
mint mocha, tall skinny decaf lattè,
and a vanilla steamer please.
Whew!
Ordering a cup of joe used to be
so simple: do you take cream with your coffee?
Nowadays novices (generally those 35 and older)
stand gazing at coffee menu boards with a puzzled
look and stammer through their first coffee bar
experience. What's happened here?
Coffee cafès have replaced
the cocktail lounges of the older generation
as the gathering place to meet friends--old and
new. So here's a short primer for those folks
still in the dark on how to order coffee today.
Recipes are proprietary and do change from cafè to
cafè.
- Cappuccino
Espresso, milk and froth
- Iced Cappuccino
and Frappès
Cool coffee drinks to soothe the soul
- Lattè
Single or double shot of espresso with steamed milk
- Mocha
Lattè with chocolate
- Breve
A creamier cappuccino made with half and half
- Americano
Single or double espresso with hot water
- Toddy
Syrupy coffee concentrate packing almost twice the punch as espresso
Today the most
popular brews are mocha, lattè and cappuccino.
And just when you thought you knew what to
order, consider this--flavors from almond to
watermelon can be added for a special twist.
So try something wild and have some fun!
