Espresso
- the basis of most coffee-based drinks. The espresso itself is a treat for those who wholeheartedly love coffee in its pure form. In the classic version, it is a drink with a bitter taste and noble sourness, although the taste of espresso greatly depends on the type of coffee, the degree of roasting, the quality of the coffee machine and the skill of the barista. Espresso first appeared in Italy in 1901 when Luigi Pezzera patented the world's first coffee machine. Hot water at a temperature of 90-95 degrees under pressure of nine bars passed through a filter with finely ground coffee, absorbing its strength and aroma.
Traditional iced glass recipe
You will need: water, ground coffee, ice cream (sundae, creme brulee or your favorite flavor). It is correct to prepare ground coffee in a special apparatus or coffee machine, but if you don’t have one, you can prepare instant coffee yourself and pour it into a prepared glass container: glass, wine glass, cup, glass and put 2 scoops of ice cream. Decorate with grated chocolate, cherry or cocoa powder, cinnamon, insert a straw and a coffee spoon. Before filling, cool the container by rinsing it with ice water .

Subtleties of making iced coffee
The recipe leaves a lot of room for creativity, but certain manufacturing subtleties must be observed.
- If coffee for a recipe is brewed in a cezve, then be sure to strain it so that small particles do not end up in the finished glace.
- Most recipes will require perfectly chilled coffee. Let it cool at room temperature, and then put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- For this recipe, it is better to brew coffee from medium-roasted beans to avoid excess bitterness and tart notes in the finished drink.
- In the near future, other methods of brewing coffee in a Chemex, French press or pour over began to gain popularity. This type of coffee can also be used to make ice cream; fruit flavors, especially currant and orange, mix well with it.
- If you use toppings to make iced coffee, you can try combining different flavors in one recipe - cherry and chocolate, raspberry and cream, currant and vanilla.
- The invigorating effect of iced coffee is small, due to the cooling of the drink and the presence of ice cream and sweet syrups in it. They weaken the effect of caffeine.
Cappuccino (or cappuccino)
leader in popularity among coffee drinks. Delicate and at the same time strong cappuccino is loved all over the world. Many people mistakenly believe that it is prepared with cream. In fact, it is a drink based on espresso and milk.
There are many legends about the origin of cappuccino. According to one version, Italian monks of the Capuchin Order began preparing this type of coffee. Like all Italians, the monks were very fond of coffee. But in those days, coffee was banned by the church and was considered the drink of the devil. The Capuchins came up with a trick: he announced that white foamed milk gave the devil's coffee softness and sweetness, thereby removing sin. The monks whipped the milk by hand for a long time to get a tasty and beautiful foam. Of course, they also brewed coffee by hand - many centuries remained before the invention of special machines.
A modern cappuccino is prepared like this: a third of the espresso is poured into a porcelain cup, then the same amount of hot milk is poured. The top third of the cup is filled with milk foam, whipped with hot steam. A teaspoon is always served with a cup of cappuccino - first they use it to eat milk foam, and then drink the coffee itself.

Latte
translated from Italian means "milk". Indeed, there is more milk in this drink than in any other coffee. It differs from cappuccino, firstly, in its proportions, and secondly, in its preparation technology: when making a latte, coffee is poured into milk, and not vice versa. A cup of espresso is poured into the mass of frothed milk, and milk is poured on top again. Espresso is often served in tall glasses with a long ice cream scoop used to eat the foam.
Cappuccino and latte are an excellent canvas for practicing latte art - creating patterns on milk foam. In almost any cafe they will draw a twig, heart or leaf on the surface of your drink. At the latte art show, experienced baristas create real masterpieces on the surface of foamed milk.
Interesting information about the drink
The drink is similar in appearance and ingredients to a latte or cappuccino. But for coffee lovers, these drinks have little in common with each other; glasse is considered a separate, unique, fantastically tasty drink.
We speak and write correctly
The name of the drink is borrowed from France, where glace means iced, frozen. The stress in the word glasse should be placed on the last syllable. How to correctly pronounce the word glasse and the emphasis in this word is a question in which even waiters often make mistakes, although they take orders every day.
If everything is clear with pronunciation, then with writing the situation is controversial. How to correctly write: “Glyase or Glyase” - it would be more correct to use Glyase, but the second option is also acceptable and even more common, so you can write a word with two “Cs”, this is not an error.
Let's go back to history
Despite the origins of the word in France, black iced coffee has its origins in Austria. It is known that it was there that this method of creating glaze was first used.
The exact history of its appearance is not known, but there is a legend about a young Austrian guy who ran into a cafe, late for a meeting. There he ordered a cappuccino, but the bartender making the drinks did not have milk. Without thinking twice, he replaced it with ice cream.
The client liked the iced coffee so much that from that day on he began ordering only it. After which the bartender introduced a cold coffee drink and this preparation technology to the menu. Now the drink made from coffee and ice cream, and what it’s called, is known in all cafes and coffee shops around the world.

There are more and more coffee lovers in our country every year, because the art of coffee brewing does not stand still, new types of this wonderful drink appear every day. You can drink it in peace at home or in a cozy cafe, or you can take a glass with you while rushing to work.
Macchiato
not a specific type of coffee, but rather a certain way of serving it. This is the name given to a dot of espresso remaining on the surface of white foam, or, conversely, a drop of milk on the surface of black coffee. Therefore, “macchiato” can refer to both latte and espresso. Latte macchiato was originally prepared for children who wanted to drink coffee “like adults.” It was essentially warm milk with a splash of coffee added for flavor and color. Espresso macchiato is black, strong coffee with a speck of milk on the surface.

Frappe
a cold cocktail made from coffee, ice and milk, which is popular in warm Greece and Cyprus. Unlike mocha, it was invented in the mid-20th century. They say that at a coffee exhibition, an employee of one of the Greek companies did not find hot water and, in a panic, found a way to get foam on cold coffee. An accidental invention gave birth to a new drink. Coffee, sugar and a small amount of water are whipped in a mixer or shaker and then poured onto ice. Frappe coffee is served in a tall glass with a straw.
How to drink iced glass correctly?
Since iced coffee with ice cream is considered a dessert drink, tall glass glasses with a stem are used to serve it. It can be served in Irish glasses, as well as tall, thin latte glasses. But we do not recommend drinking cold iced coffee from ceramic dishes or cappuccino glasses - they, of course, will not spoil the taste, but they will not reveal the appearance of the drink.
Important! Because the drink is not stirred, most of the ice cream remains on top, sinking to the bottom as it melts and mixing with the espresso. The layered structure looks very attractive; the drink is often additionally decorated with ground cinnamon on top. It is acceptable to put a cherry or any other berry on top.
In accordance with the technological maps, a glass of iced glass is placed on a saucer, and a dessert spoon is placed next to it. A straw is inserted into the drink. Thus, the client of the coffee shop himself decides whether to enjoy the coffee taste, or first taste the ice cream from the surface of the glass. In addition, a portioned packet of sugar is often placed on the saucer so that the client can add it to his or her taste. Vanilla sugar also goes well with the drink.
On a note! Serving iced glass with added alcohol deserves special attention. For this drink, glasses for short drinks are used, as well as a short straw.
They usually drink ice cream between meals - because of the ice cream, the cocktail is quite high in calories. The recommended time of consumption is the second half of the day, since the caffeine content in the drink is moderate.
Important! Sweets are usually not served with ice cream, since ice cream itself can replace any dessert additions.
What is the difference between a latte and an iced glass?
Latte and iced coffee cocktails are similar in many ways: they have a milder taste than standard coffee, contain milk in their recipe (in some versions of iced ice), and are similar in how the drink is served. Still, these are two different cocktails, differing both in the method of preparation and in the components included in their composition.
The latte is prepared on the basis of double espresso and frothed milk in proportions of 1 to 3. The milk is whipped until a thick, dense foam is formed using the cappuccino maker built into the coffee machine. You can read how to make a latte without a coffee machine here.
Glace is a coffee based on double espresso or Americano and ice cream in a 3 to 1 combination. That is, there is no milk in the traditional glace recipe. Ice cream replaces it. There are different ways to make ice cream that involves adding a small amount of milk to the coffee along with a scoop of ice cream.
