No. 16: Brewed Coffee
For the coffee connoisseur a brewed coffee is often the way to go. For the best brew, order the clover brewed coffee. Brewed coffee is great because you can add as much or as little sugar as you want.
Brewed coffee is the ideal way to determine what kinds of coffee you like best. To do a coffee tasting start with a tall, brewed coffee. The first thing you do is waft the steam towards you to get a hint of the smells.
Then you want to take a loud slurping sip. You slurp in order to spread the flavor across your taste buds. Make sure the coffee is not too hot. You may need to let it cool down before taking a sip.
No. 15: Cafe Misto
If you are not a fan of straight black coffee, a Cafe Misto is the next best way to taste coffee. You can order it with any brewed coffee and any milk option. You can also request the addition of your favorite syrup or even mocha sauce.
A plain grande cafe misto is 110 calories and has 150 mg of caffeine. If you order a blonde cafe misto it will have more caffeine. A cafe misto is half brewed coffee and half milk. So if you get a grande you can calculate the calories based on how many calories 1 cup of your chosen milk would be.
No. 14: Flat White
The Flat White and Honey Almond Milk Flat White are great for anyone looking for a smooth sip. Flat Whites are typically made with whole milk. However, you can order them with other milks. They are also made with a special kind of espresso shot called a ristretto shot. The ristretto shot is smoother than most espresso shots.
13. Cafe Latte
For a year-round popular drink, the Cafe Latte is one of the most customizable. You can order it with any type of milk, any syrup flavor you want, and as many espresso shots as you want. Extra espresso shots do cost more.
