Lapland coffee (Finland)


A local kind of cheese is placed in the cup before being covered with the coffee.
Espresso (Italy)


The classic recipe with an added slice of lemon. The lemon should be flattened with a spoon against the side or bottom of the cup first.
Lagrima (Argentina)


Just a couple of drops of strong coffee are added to some frothy milk. It might be more accurate to describe this as ’milk with coffee’ rather than the other way round!

This an Espresso but with added condensed milk. Mixing the latter with ordinary milk produces something special.

Grinding a mixture of spices — including sesame seeds, black pepper and nutmeg — together with ordinary coffee beans produces an unusual, but a very strong drink.

This mixture of coffee and milk tea leaves a strong impression right from the first sip. It’s made using 4 servings of black tea, pepper, condensed milk and two shots of coffee.
