Coffee is, for many, a favourite drink associated with waking up in the morning. In a few days, it's World Coffee Day, and on this occasion, a Viber quiz found out the most popular coffees in Greece besides frappe and freddo.
Macchiato (42%) prevailed in preferences, while Americano came very close to it (36%). Far behind, by a long distance, was the ristretto (18%), while the cortado was last with a percentage of only 3%.
Do you know precisely what these delightful beverages are? To answer all your questions, we present them to you separately, starting with the winner!
Espresso Macchiato
Espresso macchiato could be said to be a variant of the all-time classic cappuccino. It just needs less milk.
Americano
It has become very fashionable lately. Americano is prepared by diluting an espresso with hot water (typically 1:5).
Ristretto
You may hear this name often, but you must learn what it means. The ristretto is the reverse of the Americano since it requires less water to make while retaining more of its aromas.
Cortado
A cortado is a beverage consisting of espresso mixed with a roughly equal amount of warm milk to reduce the acidity, although the exact ratios have considerable regional variation.
