Smell the Coffee: The Wonderful Espresso Maker

!±8± Smell the Coffee: The Wonderful Espresso Maker

Most of us are coffee lovers even if you are not I am sure you can still all appreciate that amazing aromatic strong smell of coffee brewing or from your local coffee shop as they use the espresso maker. You all have to agree that it does get one or more of your senses activated, whether smell or your taste buds. You must have all have heard someone you know say "I got to have a cup of coffee to get me going in the morning". I know for me I need two cups of coffee before I'm fully awake, when I don't have my caffeine intake I am really not quite there, pretty grumpy. It is probably a thought pattern that I can break if I wanted to really.

If you have traveled around Europe or the rest of the world, some of those amazing coffee shops like the one in Lisbon in the old town of Chiado called "Brasileira" it has a bronze statue of a poet called Fernando Pessao. All the café's or pastry shops serve croissants and pasties de natathe most popular Portuguese pastry. An espresso is called a bica and a latte a galao.

Yes I am sure you all know New Orleans with its most famous open-air coffee house Café du Monde with the equally famous beignets. The smell of that gorgeous vanilla flavor coffee is something I have never forgotten, when I got back after a few years yes I could smell when I was near Jackson Square.

Ever bought or drank some of the amazing Blue Mountain Coffee from Jamaica?

It is grown on the east side of Jamaica in yes the hills are called the Blue Mountains, good rainfall, rich earth and misty conditions creates the perfect growing coffee that is full-bodied and as smooth as silk. It comes in decaf as well as Peaberry mix, which turn the fruit into a cocaish chocolate.

Starbucks has to be the most famous coffee shop around the world, imagine what life would be without a Starbucks around the corner. The choice of flavors or a Soya latte the variety of coffees on offer to drink and buy.

Seattle coffee shop is equally famous, even some in Cape Town, South Africa.

Or the Canadian coffee shop Baskin Robbins, all equally gorgeous coffee and scrumptious eats.

Of course the cruise ships also jumped on the bandwagon, you have Seattle Coffee on the Royal Caribbean Ships and on Celebrity the famous Italian coffee shop with those to die for delicious chocolates on the side.

How to make Greek Coffee, there is an art, you have this small pot type called a briki, then you measure the coffee with a spoon for how many cups you are making and add the sugar and the cold water. This gives you a medium sweet cup of coffee; you need to add 2 spoons per cup if you want it really sweet. Stir on the heat, then let it foam remove from stove pour the foam equally in each cup then add the coffee. Of course the Greeks are equally famous for their iced coffee, the frapee.

The Brazilian coffee or cafezinho, you boil the sugar and water first then adds the coffee to the boiling water. The Brazilians tend to love their sugar so it can be very sweet. It always looks like they are adding guarana to it in the mornings.

I am sure you all can also think of coffee experiences on your travels whether in India or somewhere equally exotic in the world, maybe even sitting in a Parisian coffee shop looking at the world going pass.

Coffee is at the end of the day and important part of our day, whether it is those coffee breaks, or coffee shops, it is equally the same thing all over the world. Though in some parts of the world it is more of a ritual, Greece or Portugal. I am sure everyone loves the smell of coffee, it is pretty distinctive that aromatic smell of coffee beans.
