Coffee is a pleasure year round but it takes on a particular importance in winter. Warming your hands around a huge mug, taking in the aroma before you take the first sip is one of the best things about winter.
Today, for 5ThingsTuesday, I am listing my favourite kinds of coffee and I invite you to do the same.
1.Cappuccino
Nothing beats a good cappuccino. It doesn’t matter if you have it from a fancy cup or a takeaway cardboard cup, the taller the better. It’s a grand finale to a good dinner and a great accompaniment to a snack.
2.Flat White
This tastes almost the same as a cappuccino but with less froth. You get more coffee for your money this way.
3.Latte
This is not the go to for sophisticated coffee aficionados. I sometimes suffer from gastritis so the greater milk content of a Latte takes the ‘bite’ out of the coffee for me.
4.Cold Coffee with Ice cream
This is the first kind of coffee that I started to like as a child. We used to get it in cafes, in tall glasses with straws as well as long spoons for the dollop of ice cream floating in it.
5.Iced Americano
I developed a taste for this during a short stay in Insadong, a business district in Seoul. Corporate types as well as teeny boppers had it instead of cola drinks with their burgers and fries. There was a sugar syrup available to sweeten it but I preferred it on its own.
Are you a coffee aficionado? What are your favourites? Do let me know.

Great choices. I prefer Capuccino in the morning and a cafe Cubano after dinner. The Cubano is unheard of outside south Florida – thankfully I have relatives there. Lattes are good but if given the option, I choose Macchiato with heavy cream (not to be confused with that abomination Starbucks sells).

What is a Cubano like, could you elaborate?
Of course, I could just Google it but it would be more fun learning from you.

Made with a 6 cup moka pot, after the coffee is ready. Put 1/4 cup sugar in your cup and add some coffee, just enough to create a crema. Whip and whip until your arm hurts then poor the coffee over the crema. It will rise to the top. I normally don’t like anything this sweet but there is always an exception

I like my coffee unsweetened too but this sounds really interesting.
Thanks for the info.

Oops forgot to mention split the crema into multiple espresso cups same with the coffee

Cafe Latte was the first coffee I loved, but I loved it best in Jerusalem. They made it so well. It was strong, but it was smooth and it was delicious. These days, I love my own brewed coffee in the winter and I make iced coffee in the summer. The only problem is having enough ice!

Iced coffee is great in summer. I can even enjoy it in winter provided I’m warm and cosy.

As you probably guessed I am not a coffee drinker so I will stick to reading everyone else’s responses, completely baffled at how you can drink that stuff as I sip on a spot of tea.
