- Coffee prep
Dalgona? Not again!
The other day at a friend’s house, after a long night of chatting, the best of all advisors put a coffee smoothie in front of me with the words “You’re such a coffee addict, this one is healthy…”. Coffee with banana. Hmm? Mmm!

Nr.1: Coffee Smoothies.
One of my close girlfriends is such a hipster, that’s for sure (at least when it comes to coffee trends). Smoothies aren’t new per se. But those with coffee are. They combine the best of both worlds, the vitamins in the fruit on the one hand and the caffeine on the other. Which can lead to quite exotic combinations. Coffee with banana, ok. But coffee with avocado? With ginger? Or peanut butter? To be honest, for a coffee purist like me, that’s a bit much. Especially as coffee on its own is also healthy. You can read about it here: „What coffee has to offer besides caffeine“.
Nr.2: Bumble Coffee.
How to make it:
- 1 ounce of freshly brewed organic espresso
- 3 ounces of fresh orange juice
- 3–4 ice cubes
- Orange slices for decoration
Nr. 3: Coffee with spices.
Arabic-style spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and vanilla are actually an all-time favorite when it comes to topping a cup of coffee. I personally love cardamom, freshly ground together with the coffee beans and then brewed in a portafilter. Very refreshing, very tasty.
For me personally, this is actually the only acceptable way to pimp a really good coffee. Flavored syrup can’t compete with the aromas and is just squeaky sweet. It’s not my cup of tea.
Nr 4: Dalgona.
Can already be called an evergreen, too. For those who still don’t know the recipe: „Summer. Sun. Iced Coffee“ (and yes, it really tastes good).
A few more inspirations can be found in the in our „Recipes“. For example this Strawberry Iced Coffee or Espresso-Martini. Both also have the potential to become favorite coffee drinks. Have a browse and let us know in the comments which coffee mix is your 2024 favorite. We are very curious.
