Black coffee, what is it?
A cup of black coffee is a regular cup of coffee, without any additions. Just coffee and hot water. Whether you use coffee beans, filter coffee, instant coffee or coffee pods to brew your cup of coffee, it can all be referred to as ‘black coffee’. What do people love about it? The simplicity, pureness and the size. A plain black coffee will usually result in a large cup for you to enjoy. TASSIMO offers a broad range of coffees, so we are sure there is one you will like!
How many different kinds of black coffee are there?
Every culture around the world brews and drinks coffee differently. In each country, different coffee beans are preferred, and coffee is roasted and brewed in unique ways. Diverse cultures have a variety of flavour preferences; after all, everyone has their own personal taste! Some truly enjoy strong, bitter coffee, while others prefer smoother, sweeter notes. TASSIMO has more than 25 kinds of black coffee so each cup can offer a different strength, flavour, size and appearance. We can categorise these into five types of black coffee:
Espresso: This black coffee is the strongest and shortest. It offers the most intense coffee flavour and features a thick crema layer.
Black Coffee: This is the ‘classic’ black coffee that everyone’s familiar with. Tastes just like filter coffee or drip coffee.
Caffè Crema: A black coffee that’s longer than an espresso but still features a velvety layer of crema. You’ll find that if you order a ‘coffee’ in many countries, you’ll be served a caffè crema.
Americano: This is a long coffee made by adding hot water to espresso. It has a more intense espresso flavour (compared to a Black Coffee or a Lungo) and a thin crema layer on top.
Lungo: Caffè Lungo, also known as a long black or café largo is made like an espresso but with more water and a longer brewing time, so you end up with a larger cup of coffee.
