The idea of combining coffee with orange juice originated in hotels where they usually served both drinks for breakfast. Two ingredients, contrasting in taste and color, mixed in one glass, create a unique range of sensations. But for the result to truly exceed expectations, it is advisable to supplement the main components with fillers. Suitable examples include granulated sugar, syrups, caramel, spices and toppings.
Interesting: the word “bumble”, which served as the name of the original mix, translated from English means “striped bumblebee” - bumble bee.
Why “bumble?”
The name lives up to its promise when layers of orange juice intersperse with black coffee in the glass, creating a streaky effect. This simple and at the same time funny word is loved not only by regulars of cafes and bars, but also by compilers of crossword puzzles. To the question: “a five-letter name for a mixture of coffee and orange juice,” you can safely answer: “Bumble!” There will be no mistakes!
Important: orange juice offered by trade contains no less useful substances than squeezed from an orange: manufacturers make up for their loss during the preservation process with a special vitamin complex, which contains vitamins A, E, D and, of course, calcium.
Anyone who dares to offer this exotic bouquet to guests at a cocktail party, buffet or party will not be disappointed.
Tips for choosing an orange
To make coffee with orange of high quality, you need to take the choice of ingredients seriously. A lot is said about coffee, but the wrong orange can also affect the entire composition of the drink.
There are different types of mistakes. For example, if you choose a green fruit, the fruit will not have enough juice and will not be sweet. A ripened orange has more essential oils and sucrose. The juice from such a fruit will be suitable for a drink.
Even an overripe orange will do, especially if you want to use its juice. It will have more vitamins and fluid.
Bright orange color is a good sign. Surely the bright, large and soft fruit will be sweeter, but this taste will not suit those who like sourness.

Orange plus coffee: a thousand advantages and not a single disadvantage
Besides the pleasant taste and bright appearance, there are other reasons to introduce orange juice with coffee to the menu.
And the first of them is the unique effect of beneficial substances, abundantly represented by orange juice, on the body accustomed to drinking coffee.
Reference: one orange contains vitamin C in an amount exceeding the daily requirement by 16 percent.
Four arguments for using the orange-coffee mix:
- Orange juice replenishes vitamin C reserves, which are washed out by frequent consumption of natural coffee.
- Drinking juice with pulp helps reduce blood sugar, triglycerides and cholesterol levels, which rise with constant coffee consumption.
- Orange juice is an antioxidant that prevents the appearance of cancer cells.
- The high content of natural folic acid in citrus fruits activates tissue growth and ensures normal cell functioning. When combined with coffee, another powerful antioxidant, the beneficial effect is enhanced.

Interesting history of raff coffee
This drink appeared quite recently, at the very end of the 1990s. In the Moscow Coffee Bean coffee shop near the Kuznetsky Most metro station there was a regular named Rafael. He asked the barista to make a drink with a mild taste, vanilla aroma and moderate sweetness. To please the regular visitor, the staff tried their best. And as a result of long experiments with espresso, cream and vanilla sugar, a drink with a wonderful stable cap appeared. Gradually, other visitors began to order “coffee like for Raphael.” This is how the drink got its name. Soon, to shorten it, they began to call it simply “raf.”
This coffee cocktail gained popularity in the countries of the former Soviet Union. The baristas taught their colleagues from other coffee shops how to make raf. This is how the drink became popular in Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova and Kazakhstan. In Western Europe there is (and has been for a long time) its own rough coffee (pronounced “raf”). But this black drink is brewed from coarsely ground coffee for those gourmets who like intense bitterness and high strength. The Russian cocktail is gentle and sweet. There is not even a hint of bitterness in it. The classic cocktail soon began to be made with numerous variations. One of them is orange raf. But gourmets have diversified its basic recipe with numerous versions. So, the citrus component can be obtained:
- from the zest,
- from juice,
- from syrup,
- from liquor.

To prepare the second layer you will need a juicer. Peel the pineapple, cutting out the hard center, and cut into pieces. We pass the pineapple through a juicer. Then we send the cherries there too. Separately squeeze the juice from the oranges.
First experiments
The history of the drink goes back to exotic Brazil. In the 1930s, local residents made a bold experiment and combined both ingredients. Other countries have taken up this creation, adding the flavor of their culture to the recipe. Over time, many varieties have appeared. Here are some names for this unusual coffee: Bumble, American Orange and Frutocino.
Coffee Bumble
The name comes from the English language from a combination of two words meaning bumblebee. The drink consists of several balls of different liquids. First, orange juice is poured into the cup, then coffee. In a transparent glass, the color of the drink really resembles a bright insect.
If you combine the ingredients in a shaker or stir with a spoon, you get American orange.
Bumble contains 4 components: coffee, orange juice, caramel syrup and ice cubes.
Preparation
Brew 100-120 ml of coffee in a Turk. However, you can use any other method of making coffee.
The coffee should be quite strong, because it will account for half the volume of the entire drink.
Strain the coffee through a sieve to remove the grounds.
Pour the coffee into the cup in which you will serve the drink. Add two-thirds of the heated cream there. Add sugar if desired and stir.
Heat the remaining cream almost to a boil and beat with a cappuccino maker or mixer to form a fluffy foam.
Wash the orange thoroughly and finely grate the zest - you will need about half a teaspoon.
Carefully pour the creamy foam onto the coffee and place the zest on top. Gradually, the orange zest will fall inside, enriching the coffee with its aroma.
Serve the drink immediately. The drink will be even tastier if you add a piece of dark chocolate, chocolate truffles or small chocolate chip cookies.
Good afternoon, my dear readers and practitioners of healthy and tasty nutrition!
Now I'm talking to coffee lovers. Would you like to receive a step-by-step recipe for a chic and at the same time healthy drink for the New Year, and not only?! Then today's recipe was created especially for you!
Coffee
Coffee is one of the most common additives in baked goods. Thanks to it, pastries, cakes and muffins acquire a bitter but unique taste. By the way, not many people like coffee cakes, preferring to replace it with another popular additive - cocoa.
Products for dough
- premium flour - 185 g;
- granulated sugar - 125 g;
- one chicken egg;
- vegetable oil - 80 ml;
- buttermilk - 180 ml;
- cold natural brewed coffee - 100 ml;
- instant coffee powder - 2 tbsp;
- breadcrumbs - a couple of tablespoons;
- hazelnuts - 100 g;
- baking powder - 1 tsp.
for coffee cream:
- natural chilled coffee - 6 tablespoons;
- low-fat dietary cottage cheese - 250 g;
- granulated sugar - 1 tsp;
- almond cookies - 50 g;
- shaped chocolate for decoration (can be replaced with any other decor).
The recipe includes an ingredient such as buttermilk, which is unfamiliar to many housewives. Buttermilk can safely be called low-fat cream, which is obtained during the production of butter. Buttermilk is also called buttermilk, because if you beat it, it will have a consistency similar to sour cream.
By the way, buttermilk in Muslim countries is a national drink. It has dietary properties and quenches thirst well. If you can't find buttermilk in the store, you can replace it with the following products: low-fat kefir, whey, yogurt, low-fat yogurt or milk (also low-fat).
Cooking steps
First of all, prepare the oven and molds: turn on the oven at 180 degrees, grease the baking molds with oil and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
While the oven is heating, prepare the dough. Grind half of the total amount of nuts into crumbs, and chop the other half into larger pieces.
Beat eggs with sugar, add vegetable oil and buttermilk one by one. Mix pre-sifted flour, instant coffee and nuts, add baking powder and combine with the beaten egg mixture. Quickly knead the dough and, having filled the molds halfway, put them in the oven for half an hour.
Take the finished cupcakes out of the oven and let them cool right in the molds.
Then carefully remove - you can run a sharp knife along the sides to remove the cupcakes from the pan. Place the muffins on a plate and pour a tablespoon of cold coffee over each of them.
Prepare coffee cream: mix the remaining coffee from pouring with diet cottage cheese and sugar, stir until smooth. Break the cookies into crumbs, but not too small. Place coffee cream on each cupcake, sprinkle with cookies and decorate with chocolate figures (or at your discretion).
Preparing orange raff
Few people know that there are a huge number of recipes based on the world’s most popular drink. For example, citrus raf. There are many cooking options. Just add a little zest, liqueur, cinnamon and other spices, and you’ll get a coffee cocktail with a unique range of aromas and tastes.
Rough differs from cappuccino in the sequence of preparation. The ingredients are mixed, the resulting mixture is whipped using a cappuccino maker - a special part of the coffee machine. But raf can be prepared at home, without having such a complex unit. To do this, you need to brew espresso in a Turk, add cream and beat with a whisk. The main thing in this drink is the presence of airy foam.
Preparation of raf consists of only two stages:
- Churning espresso with cream.
- Adding fresh.
After the mixture has acquired a homogeneous consistency, it must be carefully poured into a glass, then sprinkled with cinnamon.
How to make caramel - life hacks
How to get pearlescent caramel
This technique is called “pulling”. The caramel mass is stretched, folded in half, twisted, pulled into a cord again - and so on several times. This is done so that air layers are formed, which will give the caramel a pearlescent shine.
How to get a clear lollipop
This technique is called “nano” - the use of small molds. Transparent caramel with and without filling. The brand became “cockerel on a stick” - transparent caramel can be obtained in any shape. When cooled in molds to a temperature below 50 °C, the caramel mass turns into a vitreous body. You just need to know that when cooking syrup it is better to use refined sugar rather than granulated sugar. And that you need to cook in a closed container, not in an open one. That if you cook on low heat, the syrup will darken.
Are toffees also caramel?
In general, no. But, if you cook sugar in milk and stir it with a spoon (the syrup cannot be stirred while cooking caramel!), then you will get toffee. In the production of caramel, syrup is boiled using different types of sugar - molasses is almost always added, less often honey. At home, you can cook the syrup not with water, but with fruit juice and add a glucose tablet.
Caramel with filling
There is no single method. The production uses caramel rolling machines, where a dispenser adds the filling in portions inside the caramel loaf. Cutting and stamping machines, which at the same time apply a design to the surface of the candy, are also widely used.
At home, you can add the filling the same way you add minced meat to dumplings. Or pour syrup into the mold, then the filling, and then another layer of syrup on top. Or you can do it another way, blow hollow shapes out of the caramel mass, as glassblowers do with glass, and place fillings, figures, or some other surprise inside. For example, you put dried apricots and prunes on skewers, dip them in the caramel mass, then you will also get caramel with filling inside.
A brief history of the drink
The addition of fruit juices to various strong drinks originates in Brazilian pubs. The hot climate and abundance of various ingredients encourages bold experiments. It is believed that the first attempts to combine the two components were made in the 30s.
This period is rich in the discovery of various drinks that have become classic because of their unique taste. History is silent about the name of the bartender who first served orange coffee. However, there is no doubt that the drink was invented in Brazil.
It was prepared from selected varieties and poured in layers. First, the glass was filled halfway with fresh orange juice, then strong espresso was poured in. The main rule was not to mix layers. As a result, the taster received a boost of energy from the tart, bitter drink, and then a refreshing portion of sweet and sour vitamin juice.
