Rough coffee ... What is it? What kind of unusual drink is hidden behind the short name? Coffee with a delicate creamy taste and a pleasant lush consistency will delight espresso lovers with its taste. Interestingly, most of the recognized coffee brewing options came from abroad, and only raff has Russian roots. The history of the invention of this drink is very interesting.
History of creation
Rough coffee - what is it? How did he appear? This drink was first made in a Moscow cafe called Caffee Bean in 1996. New (unusual at that time) cafeterias offered a huge number of various coffee options. And one of the regular visitors to this institution once said that he did not really like the coffee taste. To try to please the client and not fall into the mud, the barista of this cafe came up with a recipe that combined coffee, cream and sugar. The result was a very original cocktail, which was presented to the capricious client. This man was called Raphael, or Raf for short.
After a while, looking at his friend, who enjoys drinking an unusual drink, Raf's friends also wanted to try it, and began to ask for the same coffee as Raf's. So the name appeared - raff coffee.
Despite the fact that this drink appeared almost 20 years ago, it is rarely seen in local coffee houses. It can be tasted only in some institutions in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Be sure to try sometime raff coffee. What it is, you already know.
What does the drink consist of?
His composition is very simple. In the classic version, presented to the court of Raphael, there were only a few ingredients. To date, different cafes offer variations with different syrups. These components are:
- 25 ml of classic espresso;
- 100 ml of 10% cream;
- 10 grams of vanilla sugar or a mixture of vanilla and regular in a percentage of 50 to 50.
Rough coffee, the recipe of which involves mixing the components at the initial stage of preparation, is very tasty.
Cooking method
First, make a classic espresso. To do this, take 7 grams of finely ground grains and pour 30 ml of cold water. Heat it over low heat until foam appears. Remove from the stove.
Secondly, mix the cream with sugar and heat it until it is hot and sugar is dissolved.
Combine the espresso and creamy mass and beat the mixture with a whisk or cocktail blender. A persistent foam mass, which is formed due to thorough whipping, gives a special taste. Serving the drink is best in transparent glasses.
