15 Most Popular and

Common Coffee
Drinks
Coffee remains a beloved beverage worldwide, with
its rich flavors and energizing effects often cited as
reasons for its enduring appeal. Among the most
popular coffee drinks, the espresso serves as the
foundation for many, whether it's the creamy latte,
the foamy cappuccino, or the chocolaty mocha.
These drinks, each with their unique textures and
flavors, encapsulate the allure of coffee. People are
drawn to its versatility, its ability to adapt to various
tastes, and the comforting ritual of starting a day or
taking a break with a cup in hand.
What are the Most Popular
coffee ?
1. Black Coffee
This is the most common type of
coffee. It's made by brewing
coffee as you normally would:
drip, pour-over, french press, or
however you make it. You serve
it with no add-ins. It's the easiest
drink for your coffee shop.
2. Espresso
Espresso is much stronger than
regularly brewed coffee. It's a
method of brewing coffee where nearly
boiling water is forced through finely-
ground coffee beans. It creates a
concentrated, syrup-like coffee drink.
This is the base for many Italian drinks
in coffee shops.
3. Latte/Iced Latte
A latte is an espresso with steamed milk
and a small amount of milk foam on top.
This is basically the American form of a
cappuccino. Rather than being equal
parts foam, milk, and espresso, it has
much more milk. It's smoother and
gentler for a more American palette. You
can add flavoring syrup to it to make
different variations. For iced lattes, pour
your espresso and steamed milk over ice.
When served with
double walled coffee cups, the latte is
supremely enjoyable.
 4. Americano
Americanos are common coffee drinks,
and they're incredibly easy to make! It's
just espresso with hot water poured over
it. It was invented during World War II.
European baristas added water to their
espresso to give it a smoother, less
concentrated flavor for the American
soldiers stationed there. That's why it's
called the Americano!
 5. Cappuccino
Cappuccinos are made with equal parts
espresso, steamed milk, and thick foam.
Originally, it was made by Italian monks
called Capuchins, but you can easily
make it in your coffee shop today!
6. Mocha
Mochas are espresso-based drinks
made with chocolate and whipped
cream instead of foam. Their ratio of
espresso to milk and other ingredients
depends on the coffee shop. They tend
to range between the ratio of
cappuccinos and lattes. Whether you
prefer more espresso or more milk,
your mocha is sure to shine in your
coffee shop.
7. Cafe Au Lait
Cafe au lait or cafe con leche is equal
parts strong hot coffee and steamed
milk. It's a traditional French coffee
drink consumed with breakfast.
8. Macchiato
Macchiato means spotted, so a
macchiato espresso is an espresso with a
spot of milk. Most coffee shops will add a
dollop of foamed milk rather than just
steamed milk.
This is what's known as a traditional
macchiato. You may know macchiatos as
what Starbucks serves as their caramel
macchiato. These are closer to lattes.
They're served with flavored syrup on
the bottom, milk on top of that, then
espresso and caramel sauce.
9. Flat White
Originating in Australia, flat whites are
espresso and micro-foamed milk. The
ratio of espresso to milk is 1:4. This ratio
is important to get right; otherwise, it
turns into a latte or a cappuccino.
10. Irish Coffee
Irish coffee is definitely not a traditional
morning drink. It's a cocktail made with
drip coffee and Irish whiskey with a
layer of lightly whipped cream on top.
11. Frappe
This is basically a blended latte. They're
traditionally made with espresso, ice, milk,
and flavoring syrup, all combined in a
blender. Most people top it with whipped
cream, too!
12. Cold Brew
Cold brew coffee is a smooth, cold
beverage made by steeping coarsely
ground coffee in cool or room-
temperature water for many hours. The
time replaces the heat of traditionally
brewed coffee. Cold brew coffee is
more of a coffee concentrate, and it's
incredibly strong. Some coffee shops
will water it down for their drinks.
13. Affogato
This is less of a drink and more of an
ice cream sundae. It's
ice cream or gelato with hot espresso
poured over it. The hot espresso slightly
melts the ice cream, and the ice cream
cools the espresso; they're perfectly
complementary to one another and

14. Red Eye
Red Eye is a less common coffee drink.
It's basic drip coffee with espresso
added. Its high concentration of caffeine
makes it a favorite for those needing a
major energy boost.
15. Vietnamese Coffee
This is a different method of brewing coffee. To
make it, add sweetened condensed milk to the
bottom of a heat-proof glass. Then, place a
Vietnamese coffee filter over your glass. Add your
desired amount of ground coffee and pour nearly
boiling water over it. This will result in creamy,
sweet coffee.
 Kopi Luwak is the world's most exclusive (and most expensive) coffee.
The main factor of its high price is the uncommon method of production. It is
produced from coffee beans which have been partially digested by the
Indonesian palm civet and then excreted.
Although kopi luwak is a form of processing rather than a variety of
coffee, it has been called one of the most expensive coffees in the world, with
retail prices reaching US$100 per kilogram for farmed beans and US$1,300 per
kilogram for wild-collected beans.

Our Alamid ng Mount Apo is harvested from the rich grounds of
Mt. Apo in the Davao region. It is one of the most coveted among
coffee connoisseurs the world over. This coffee is believed to be
the world's most expensive coffee drink fetching a price of about
$30 to $80 USD a cup in New York.
