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.

1. Cappuccino. It can be recognized by its lush milk foam topped with grated chocolate and cocoa powder.

2. Lungo. It is stronger, since twice as much water is taken for cooking. As a result, it comes into contact with ground coffee longer.

3. Latte, where milk is added to the finished drink.

4. Mocha (or mochachino) is a complex composition in which 1/3 part is "espresso", and the rest is a mixture of hot chocolate, whipped cream and milk.

5. The Americano is prepared in a conventional electric coffee maker and served in a large teapot.

6. Macchiato is sometimes referred to as "marbled" coffee because it contains very little milk.

7. Coretto is a regular espresso with alcohol.

8. Romano has a completely extraordinary taste, which is obtained by adding lemon juice to espresso.

9. Glace is respected by lovers of all kinds of desserts. It's ¾ espresso and ¼ ice cream.

Briefly about the main things

Lavazza registered its brand a long time ago and supplies fragrant goods to many foreign countries. By the way, Lavazza coffee is considered one of the best on the European coffee market.

Types and descriptions of its best representatives deserve special attention:

1. Lavazza Club. It is 100 percent composed of the famous Arabica variety. The corporation's specialists have developed a unique technology for processing and roasting beans. After it, the product acquires a special taste, and the coffee that is made from it can really 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, this coffee has a slight effective sour taste.

3. "Lavazza Rosso" is a very successful blend of two different varieties. Arabica gives the finished drink a pleasant taste and extraordinary lightness, while Robusta, in turn, makes it richer, with a delicate aroma of chocolate.

It took decades to develop all of these species. But it is worth recognizing that the time was well spent.

Coffee for brewing

Most often you can see ground Lavazza coffee on sale. Its types in this case differ in the degree of grain refinement. Like any other, this coffee comes in 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 cezve. In a short heating time, he manages to reveal all his properties.
