Imagine going in to work on a Monday without a shot of your favorite Starbucks coffee, and there is no coffee machine in your workplace to make up for your post-weekend lethargy and lack of sleep. If you find that a little nightmarish, you are not alone. Coffee is one of the three most popular drinks in the entire world, the other two being water and tea.

Here’s a fun fact: In the US alone, 400 million cups of coffee are consumed in a single day!

Since the ninth century, humans have known about the magical bean, cultivated it, consumed it and reaped its various benefits. 

Today, coffee is mass-produced on a large scale, processed in factories, and sold over the counter to billions of people. Even though the process of converting coffee beans into tasty beverages varies from culture to culture, there are some common types of coffee drinks that you should know about.

A Brief Coffee History

Many legends surround the discovery of the coffee bean, but what is certain is that its origins trace back to the southwestern highlands of Ethiopia. One legend claims that a shepherd observed his goats acting erratically after they consumed the fruit of the coffee plant. 

Wild coffee plants were taken from Africa and planted in Yemen around the 15th century. Coffee spread to neighboring countries, giving rise to the coffeehouse, or qahveh khaneh, which became a cultural phenomenon. By the 17th century, coffeehouses were commonplace all over Europe, Britain and other British colonies globally.

In the 20th century, Brazil became the largest cultivator and supplier of coffee worldwide, and continues to be today. .

Processing of Coffee

Picking Coffee Beans

Coffee beans grow on shrubs. The berries, known as ‘coffee cherries,’ house two coffee beans each. About five percent of the cherries, dubbed ‘peaberries,’ contain only one bean and according to some, produce a denser and more intense flavor.

Drying Coffee

After harvesting, the berries are set out to dry. In the absence of any complex machinery, this can be done by simply spreading them out in the sun. After being washed, the fruit is spread out on concrete or brick patios where it is exposed to the sun often turned and tossed at intervals. This phase is most critical since the fruit has to be kept away from fungi and mold, while also being dried just enough to not break into pieces.

Decaffeination of Coffee

After drying, some beans are decaffeinated by using chemical solvents or carbon filtering. The popular demand for newer, more natural extraction methods has led manufacturers to employ organic methods of caffeine removal. However, no method can claim to remove caffeine entirely from the bean.

Roasting Coffee Beans

Next is the roasting process. The green bean derived from coffee cherries is now ready to become its trademark brown, and is fed into machines that provide very high temperatures for the bean to expand. During the roasting process, complex chemical transformations occur inside the bean, which gives rise to the bitter-sweet aroma we associate with coffee.

Roasting the beans too much can lead to a deterioration of flavor and smell, therefore, the coffee beans are sifted after roasting and only the most potent make it through.

Grinding Coffee Beans

Some coffee brands package the roasted coffee beans whole for the drinker to grind, but others offer ground coffee to make the coffee-making the process easier for consumers. Grinding machines consist of rollers of various sizes that first break the bean, and then refine it into whatever degree of coarseness is required.

Types of Coffee Bean

1. Arabica Coffee Beans

Coffea arabica, grown in tropical climates at high altitudes, accounts for 60% of all the coffee produced in the world. Ideal temperatures and sufficient rainfall are necessary for a successful coffee plantation. Brail is the number one producer of Arabica coffee beans.

2. Robusta Coffee Beans

Coffea robusta can grow at lower altitudes than Arabica making it easier to cultivate with higher yields and more resistance to pests. Robusta has a higher caffeine content which is toxic to insects.

Vietnam is a major producer of Robusta coffee beans.

Types of Coffee Drinks

Recognizing and memorizing all the different types of coffees and their constituents can be difficult, so here is a quick guide and a short introduction to the common types you may encounter.

1. Espresso Coffee

Espresso originates from Italy and is one of the most intense coffee experiences you can have. Drinking espresso is often called a ‘shot.’ It’s made by forcing boiling water at high pressures through finely-ground coffee beans. Espresso has the most caffeine volume per milliliter, but since the serving size is usually smaller, the caffeine amount is less than the standard coffee cup. Because of its drinking method, espresso is bound to give you that kick you need in the morning.

2. Macchiato Coffee

A macchiato is a shot of espresso with a bit of foamed milk on top. The milk is just enough to moderate the strong taste of coffee but not overpower its distinctive flavor.

3. Cappuccino Coffee

Cappuccino is also an espresso-based drink with added milk and a layer of foam on top. The espresso-to-milk ratio, however, is higher than in a macchiato. 

A variation of the drink contains cream instead of milk, with the added bonus of other flavors, such as caramel, hazelnut, cinnamon , or chocolate powder.

4. Mocha Coffee

The odds suggest that you might be a fan of chocolate, and if you are, mocha could be your coffee of choice. It consists of espresso, a layer of whipped cream, paired with as much chocolate sauce as your heart desires.

5. Latte Coffee

Caffè latte means ‘milk coffee,’ and that is exactly what it is. Made of espresso and topped with a generous amount of steamed milk, lattes have been around since the 17th century.

6. Flat White Coffee

Flat white coffee is similar to a latte, except instead of milk it contains microfoam, which makes for a smoother texture. Microfoam is steamed milk with fine bubbles that give it a velvety consistency. Flat white is said to have originated in Sydney, Australia in the 1980s.

7. Americano Coffee

Caffè Americano literally means ‘American coffee,’ and it is made by diluting espresso with hot water. This lowers the strength of the coffee while preserving the espresso flavor somewhat. Some variations include the Iced Americano which uses cold water to dilute the coffeeand the red eye made with drip coffee instead of hot water.

8. Espresso con Panna Coffee

Espresso with cream is quite self-explanatory, made of espresso topped with whipped cream. Some variants can also have ice cream on top. This drink is perhaps older than lattes or cappuccinos and is traditionally served in a demitasse cup in Vienna and Budapest coffeehouses.

9. Café au Lait 

Café au lait, also called café con Leche, is a coffee drink most commonly consumed in Spain, Latin America, France, and Italy. It is often made with half-strong coffee, such as espresso, and half-scalded milk.

Milk content can be higher in varieties like café con leche de desayuno and café con leche en vaso. Sweeteners like sugar or nowadays even stevia are added to taste.

10. Affogato 

Affogato is an Italian dessert using coffee as a major ingredient. Usually, a scoop of plain or vanilla ice cream or gelato is “drowned” in a shot of hot espresso. Other versions may include Kailua, amaretto, or other similar liquors.

11. New Orleans Chicory Coffee

Chicory coffee is made using chicory root rather than coffee beans. The roots can be harvested and ground into a delicious caffeine-free coffee substitute. The telltale blue chicory flower is found throughout the world.

Chicory root can be roasted, ground, and brewed like coffee beans. The flavor is nutty and woody with notes very similar to coffee. Some people mix chicory and coffee grounds as well. This drink has been popular in New Orleans since the U.S. Civil War.

12. Vietnamese Egg Coffee

Vietnamese egg coffee (cà phê trứng) substitutes a raw egg yolk for milk, making for a creamier and thicker beverage. It is usually sweetened with condensed milk. Many different toppings are used such as spices, butter, and even cheese.

13. Cafecito Cuban Coffee

Cafecito Cuban coffee hails from Cuba and is a common after-dinner dessert beverage. Shots of espresso are served with a thick layer of foamy cream on top. This cream is coated in sugar rather than milk for a much sweeter flavor. It is popular as a replacement for heavier desserts.

14. Frappe Greek Coffee

The Greek frappe is an iced beverage made using instant coffee with water. The drink is shaken to produce a foamy consistency similar to a frozen latte or cappuccino. Sugar, milk, and ice cubes can all be added to taste.

15. Carajillo Coffee

Carajillo is a hot coffee beverage mixed with hard liquor. It is popular throughout Latin America and Spain. In Columbia, carajillo is usually made using brandy. In Cuba, rum is a more common option. Meanwhile, Mexico’s twist on this classic is varied and includes coffee liqueurs, Licor 43, and mezcal.

Carajillo is most often served in a small glass and dates to when Cuba was under Spanish occupation. Coraje is Spanish for courage and its diminutive is corajillo, now carajillo. The name likely originated from the idea that the drink was a “little courage” to help Spanish soldiers be brave.

16. Cha Phe Sua Da

Cha Phe Sua Da is a type of Vietnamese coffee that combines French Press drip coffee with sweetened condensed milk. The result is an extremely sweet, creamy coffee drink with high-fat content. It is usually served over ice.

17. Mirra

Mırra is a bitter coffee beverage originating in Turkey. The word comes from mur, meaning “bitter,” describing its dark color and taste. It is usually served in tiny cups without handles and brewed with coffee arabica beans, twice-roasted to increase bitterness. Unlike Turkish coffee, mırra is ground rather than powdered.

The beverage is made in a small pot with a narrow top called a cezve. It is boiled several times until it becomes thick and dark. Mirra is often topped with cardamom for increased aromatic notes. It is popularly a passed drink, with each guest taking a sip before passing it back to the server.

18. Kopi Coffee

Kopi or Nanyang coffee is a beverage found in multiple Southeast Asian nations. It is brewed to have high caffeine content and strong flavor. Kopi is usually served with sugar and some kind of milk or cream.

The drink came about during the British occupation of Malaysia and has deep Hainanese cultural roots. Nanyang, which is Mandarin for “South Sea,” refers to Maritime Southeast Asia. Kopi comes from the Malay word for coffee.

19. Turkish Coffee

Turkish coffee (Türk Kahvesi) is a thick, syrupy, bitter coffee drink that is popular in Turkey, Greece, and throughout the Mediterranean. In a special copper pot, coffee powder is boiled several times with sugar to thicken the consistency and served unfiltered. The coffee grounds settle on the bottom and are an important part of the drink, as is the special pot, cezve, in which the coffee is brewed.

20. Ipoh White Coffee

Ipoh white coffee is a beverage that came about in Malaysia, Perak, and, of course, Ipoh — from which it gets its name. Ipoh has become popular around the world and is a major tourist attraction. Ipoh coffee beans are roasted in palm oil margarine. The finished beverage is served with condensed milk.

Ipoh white coffee was introduced by Chinese migrant workers in local tin mines during the 19th century. The name comes from the condensed milk and not from the beans themselves, which are normal coffee. Despite what some tourists mistakenly believe, there are no “white coffee” plants or beans.

21. Café Touba

Café Touba is a beverage popular in Senegal and Guinea-Bissau. It is named after the city of Touba in Senegal. Café Touba is flavored with Selim or Guinea pepper grains and occasionally cloves. This mix of spices is known as djar and is imported from either Gabon or Cote d’Ivoire.

These spices are what set Café Touba apart from other coffee beverages. Djar is mixed with regular coffee beans and roasted alongside them. Afterward, workers grind it into a fine powder. This is why Café Touba is prepared with filters in a way similar to drip coffee.

22. Qishr

Qishr is a hot beverage originating in Yemen. It is typically brewed using spiced coffee husks, ginger, cinnamon, and sometimes other spices. Qishr is very popular in Yemen because it is cheaper, involves less waste, and has a better flavor.

Traditional recipes use the coffee bean husk instead of the coffee beans themselves. This gives the drink a much lighter flavor with less caffeine, very similar to tea.

23. Kaffeost from Finland

Although it may sound unpleasant to some, the Finnish adore their native Kaffeost, which consists of hot coffee poured over cheese curds served in a cup.

24. Yuanyang from Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, a traditional coffee drink is Yuanyang, which is made with three parts black coffee, and seven parts Hong Kong-style milk tea, which has British colonial roots.

25. Café de Olla from Mexico

Mexican coffee makers use a stick of cinnamon and piloncillo (cane sugar) in brewing this drink. It is especially served in a clay mug which is said to enhance all the different flavors.

26. Pharisäer from Germany

Pharisäer is a German drink made with a mixture of coffee beans, sugar, rum, and often whipped cream and chocolate powder.
