Coffee is an aromatic 'healing' beverage loved by many who savor its fragrance and taste.
A coffee tour in Europe will definitely be a great way to enjoy coffee, especially in autumn. Let's take a look at some of the options.
The Spanish like their coffee to match their temperament: strong and fiery. Spanish coffee features a uniquely strong and bitter taste that, once tasted, will leave you wanting more. In summer, when the sun sets later than in other seasons, you can see many people enjoying coffee seated on the terrace of the café-lined streets. There are largely four kinds of coffee in Spain.
'Cafe Solo', a kind of espresso, 'Cafe Con Leche', a coffee with a large amount of milk, 'Cafe Cortado', a slightly milder espresso cut with a small amount of warm milk, and 'Cafe Con Hielo', an espresso with a glass filled with ice cubes. Why don't you enjoy the passion of Spanish coffee in a land where simple, attractive cafes can be found on every corner?
Coffee is like aqua vitae to the French, whose three cultural elements are said to be the Louvre, the cuisine and the cafés. To know about French art is to know about the French café for examples abound of artists taking their inspiration for their works directly from the cafés themselves or indirectly through the conversations they shared with fellow aesthetes in a relaxed street environment. The centrality of the café lifestyle reaches its apotheosis in Paris, whose citizens see the café as part of the cultural landscape, rather than simply a transactional node selling caffeine infused beverages.
Cafés in France are a place for discussion of the arts and society. But, what is the coffee that French people like the most? It's an espresso. Without any other additive, espresso offers a thicker fragrance of original coffee. Espresso is a strong type of coffee, but if you are a lover of the originality of espresso, French cafés area surely a must-see.
Italian people have always loved coffee and many of them are simply addicted to it. In fact, looking back at history, there was even a time when coffee was prohibited as the "Devil's Drink" in Italy.
Italy, dubbed the "Heart of Coffee”, can also be said to be the home of the espresso. Indeed, the first espresso machine was made in Italy. Little wonder then that the type of coffee loved most by the Italian people has always been the stylish espresso. Unlike the French, however, Italians drink an espresso with a large amount of sugar in it. If you drink an Italian espresso with sugar, you will feel magic of the thick coffee spreading in your body.
This sweetness makes it different from a French espresso. Be sure to compare the taste of French and Italian coffee as you tour Europe.
The Netherlands is the country where the first volume transactions of coffee appeared. Historically, it was here that the international trade of coffee began and for many centuries remained. Dutch coffee, which has seen a recent surge in popularity in many countries, is made by steeping ground coffee in water at room temperature for an extended period. Dutch coffee was first invented by Dutch sailors who wanted to drink coffee when at sea, and its distinctive taste has made it a national favorite ever since.
As most cafés in the Netherlands are open-air, with the number of franchise coffee shops much lower than in other countries, it is a great place to learn authentic Dutch coffee. As Dutch coffee can be enjoyed only after a long time waiting for the cold brew, it really demonstrates the 'aesthetics of waiting'. Aren't you curious about the taste of Dutch coffee?
The culture of European countries can be expressed with a simple cup of coffee. Next time you smell the fragrance of coffee, think of a European café. If you are looking for a more relaxed and romantic tour this autumn, we recommend you to embark on a fragrant coffee tour in Europe.
