The coffee base itself is brewed from Arabica medium roast in a Turk or with the help of a coffee maker, coffee machine. Otherwise, a lot depends on the barista fantasy.
Cooking Features

- A drink made from soluble granules is always inferior in its organoleptic properties to natural coffee.

- If you decide to include sugar in the coffee drink, you can add it during coffee brewing or immediately after its preparation, since this sweet product does not dissolve in the cooled liquid. If you have already cooled the coffee, and then decided to sweeten it, it is better to use syrup for this.
