So keeping your best interest in mind (and of course, your coffee addiction) we got Abdul Sahid Khan, Head Trainer at Lavazza India to share some tips and tricks that’ll make your coffee all the more palatable!
SALT BAE
Coffee has a range of taste notes, however, most people tend to focus on its bitterness. In order to offset the bitter taste in coffee, add a pinch of salt to your cup. The addition of salt neutralises the bitterness and acidity in coffee, enhancing its inherent sweetness. Contrary to popular belief, research has proven that salt may serve the purpose of neutralising bitterness in coffee more efficiently than sugar!
SWEETEN IT UP
Another easy hack to counter the bitter taste is to add cinnamon or chocolate shavings to your coffee, along with some brown sugar. Did you know that studies suggest that smelling cinnamon could improve your processing power? Yes. Adding cinnamon to your coffee also takes up the anti-oxidant level a notch higher. Well, excuses aplenty to consume coffee!
COFFEE ICE CUBES
Aren’t regular ice cubes too cliche? Opt for coffee cubes instead! Over time, ice cubes dilute the flavour of the coffee. To avoid this from happening, make cubes out of coffee instead of water while making a cold brew. By doing this you will be able to retain the original flavour of coffee.
AVOID AN UNDERLYING BURNT NOTE
Overheating may leave an unpleasant, burnt taste on your tongue. To ensure that you skip on this unwanted flavour, do not heat the milk above 70°C in milk coffee.
