How to make a good coffee according to the most famous recipes from around the world

According to the Spanish recipe

If you want to drink coffee like in Spain, you have two options. Either you make 'Cafe Bombon' or 'Cafe Con Miel'. For the first, in half a cup you will have espresso, and in the second condensed milk.

For honey coffee, you will use pasteurized milk, a shot of espresso, honey, and cinnamon - the result will be absolutely delicious, and the quantities depend on your preferences.

According to an Italian recipe

Of course, this is where the main varieties of coffee that you have heard about and that you say quite often are born. But even these "support" improvements. For example, you can drink 'espresso romano' with a slice of lemon that you previously squeezed on the edge of the cup.

Or 'espresso marocchino', which you prepare with cocoa powder, milk, and a shot of espresso. Try to use an espresso that does not fail in the preparation of coffee and use the right amounts, such as the Saeco espresso machine from Philips.

According to the Vietnamese recipe

If you want to turn your coffee into a real dessert, then you can use a Vietnamese recipe. You will put an egg yolk, condensed milk, and sugar in the hot coffee! In addition to the extremely good taste of this coffee, it also has a benefit: it is full and will be a good breakfast for a long day of work!

According to the Argentine recipe

For those moments when you feel that you don't need too much caffeine, but you would still like to drink a coffee, try "Lagrima", popular in Argentina. All you have to do is combine the condensed milk with pasteurized milk and just a drop of coffee.

According to the Viennese recipe
