a phenomenon. Coffee has been drunk, is drunk, and will continue to be drunk. You won’t fail with this project if you put your heart into it. You can make money with coffee. You buy seemingly ordinary coffee, but you turn it into a million-dollar drink. With a little creativity, quality equipment, and a good dose of knowledge. People aren’t afraid to pay a hundred crowns for a momentary warm bliss. Our ancestors would surely shake their heads in disbelief at why people spend such a fortune on ordinary beans. But not all coffee is created equal. Alongside the ever-popular filtered coffee, new varieties of this beverage are constantly emerging, primarily from Italy and America. Yet in all of them, we find beneficial compounds. We

always serve coffee in a relaxed setting. That is why coffee is drunk by holding the saucer in your left hand and setting the cup down on the table after every few sips. Excellent coffee doesn’t even require a dessert. In select cafés, coffee is served with a glass of water and a mini wafer.

It used to be a luxury drink for the upper classes. Today, it has become an everyday affair. Every time we smell the aroma of coffee, we start looking forward to a brief moment of relaxation over a freshly brewed cup of coffee. But

in today’s world of coffee, it’s hard to find your way. Do you also feel awkward asking endlessly what kind of coffee you’ll find on the drink menu? Then read on.

Coffee – known as Espresso

Espresso – small, strong, and black; that’s how Italians like it—it’s “their coffee.” Espresso is also popular here. During preparation, hot water is forced under high pressure through ground coffee, which extracts fewer irritants and less caffeine. As a result, a small cup of strong coffee is invigorating, but not as much as filtered coffee. Espresso is the basis for other specialties.

Espresso macchiato—a small portion of milk foam adds a touch of smoothness to classic espresso.

Cappuccino—this “cappuccino” consists of espresso, hot milk, and milk foam. About one-third of each ingredient goes into the cup.

Latte macchiato
—the new favorite among coffees—is served in a glass. A latte is prepared with equal parts hot milk, espresso, and milk foam. First, hot milk is poured into the glass, then the foam, and finally the espresso.

A Bit of Coffee Biology

The word “coffee” comes from the Arabic “kaweh,” which translates to strength, firmness, and energy. It takes six years for a coffee plant to produce coffee beans. The coffee plant is a shrub that grows up to five meters tall, with dark oval leaves. Its fruit consists of red berries, each containing two seeds.
