Hot drinks are drinks that are served warm or hot. It doesn't matter whether it's coffee, cocoa, tea or other specialties such as latte macchiato, espresso or latte. Mulled wine or grog are also included. Most people start the morning with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. A hot drink in the form of a specialty coffee is also usually served at work or with afternoon cake. The choice of coffee varieties and preparation methods is greater than ever. From mild to full-bodied to intense and strong, there is something for every taste. A cup of coffee made from whole beans is a very special treat.
Coffee made from whole beans
Whole beans acquire an aroma during roasting that cannot be compared to anything else. These roasted aromas are then stored inside the bean. When freshly ground, the intense aromas and flavors are released and end up in the finished coffee as soon as it is brewed. A coffee grinder or fully automatic coffee machine that grinds the coffee automatically is therefore indispensable. Coffee powder made from whole beans at home is something for real connoisseurs and gourmets.
Cocoa from the cocoa bean
If you like it a little sweeter and chocolatier, a hot drink like cocoa is just the thing for you. The cocoa tree, which mainly grows in countries such as Central and South America along the Ivory Coast and in parts of Asia, produces cocoa pods, which in turn contain cocoa beans. These are used in a complex process to produce the finest powder, which you can then mix with hot milk or water and drink as a hot beverage.
Drinking chocolate has a high antioxidant content and contains vitamins, minerals, fiber and unsaturated fatty acids. The body also releases the happiness hormones serotonin and endorphins when drinking cocoa.
