Cooking methods
Italians are very fond of coffee, so they drink it a lot and often. They even have their own way of serving the drink. In a cafe, it is usually poured into small porcelain cups with thick walls with a volume of 75 milliliters. But the coffee itself should be from 25 to 50 milliliters, no more. This ratio makes it possible to best reveal the taste of Lavazza coffee. Types of brewing a drink in this country deserve special attention. The most popular is espresso. But his Italian gourmets manage to cook in many ways. Among the many species can also be distinguished:
1. Cappuccino . It can be recognized by lush milk foam, sprinkled with grated chocolate and cocoa powder.
2. Lungo . It is stronger, since twice as much water is taken for cooking. As a result, it has longer contact with ground coffee.
3. Latte , where milk is added to the finished drink.
4. Mocha (or Mokachino) is a complex composition in which 1/3 of the espresso is the rest, and the rest is a mixture of hot chocolate, whipped cream and milk.
5. Americano is prepared in a conventional electric coffee maker and served in a large teapot.
6. Macchiato is sometimes called "marble" coffee, as it contains very little milk.
7. Coretto is an ordinary espresso with alcohol.
8. Romano has a completely extraordinary taste, which is obtained after adding lemon juice to the espresso.
9. Glasse is respected by lovers of all kinds of desserts. This is ¾ espresso and ¼ ice cream.
Many of these options have been enjoyed by tourists from other countries. So the art of Italian barista became the property of the whole world.
Briefly about the main thing
Lavazza company has long registered its brand and supplies fragrant goods to many foreign countries. By the way, on the coffee market in Europe, Lavazza coffee is considered one of the best.
The types and descriptions of its best representatives deserve special attention:
1. “Lavazza Club”. It is 100 percent composed of the famous Arabica variety. Specialists of the corporation have developed a unique technology for processing and roasting grains. After it, the product acquires a special taste, and the coffee that is prepared from it can truly be called an “invigorating drink”.
2. Lavazza Oro cannot be confused with any other species. It is made from certain Arabica varieties grown in Latin America. After brewing, such coffee has a small, spectacular sourness in taste.
3. Lavazza Rosso is a very successful mixture of two different varieties. Arabica gives the finished drink a pleasant taste and extraordinary lightness, while Robusta, in turn, makes it more saturated, with a delicate aroma of chocolate.
The development of all these species took decades. But it is worth recognizing that the time was not wasted.
Brewing coffee
Most often on sale you can see ground Lavazza coffee. Its types in this case differ in the degree of grain refinement. Like any other, this coffee is coarse, medium and fine grinding. This factor greatly affects the method of application and the characteristics of the preparation of the finished drink. For example, finely ground coffee, such as Lavazza Espresso, can be brewed even in a regular Turk. In a short heating time, he manages to reveal all his properties. But Lavazza Crema e Gusto is a product of more rough processing. It is better for a coffee machine. Only she is able to reveal its unusually strong and rich taste with a slightly noticeable bitterness. By the way, the mixture for this variety was developed by Signor Luigi Lavazza himself. But there are varieties among all the variety that can be prepared in almost any way. Even a simple home-made coffee maker with a filter can convey the classic taste of coffee made from beans grown on plantations from different continents. This is Lavazza Oro and Lavazza Club. A cup of such a drink can easily cheer up and give a charge of inexhaustible vigor for the whole day.
