Personally, I like:

Turkish coffee, I received a cezve as a gift, Lots of crema (they don't call it that, but it's very frothy).

Coffee soda. Double shot espresso in a glass of ice, add soda water to taste. Great when it's hot out.

Coffee milk. Same double shot in a glass of milk, with lots of sugar. Reminds me of my childhood. The official state drink of Rhode Island.

Affogato is my personal favourite non typical coffee drink/dessert

[-] multicolorKnight@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Mmm, going to try that

Have been on a kick lately making that toktok fad coffee Dalgona(?)

tsp instant espresso/coffee tsp sugar tsp water

Whisk or use beverage frothing device to whip it into a foam then apply however you please.

I put it over milk hot or cold sometimes chocolate, or over ice and pour milk over the top (or milk alternative)

Its like an espresso latte without much effort and way less technology.

coffee milk.

You might like a bombón coffee. Take condensed milk and espresso, and mix them real well. You're aiming for a 50/50 but that might be too sweet, so adjust accordingly.

I make it out of good quality instant coffee, condensed milk, caramel, ice, cinnamon, couple drops of vanilla (or real vanilla if you're bougie), and whole milk. Put it in a big ass jar and store in the fridge. Great for 35C+ weather.

Seems like we always have cans of condensed milk left over from some holiday dessert, I want to try this one too. Sort of like the affogato except already melted.

Just made one of these. I probably got the recipe wrong, but can confirm, it's delicious.

[-] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Glad you liked it! It's become a staple for me during the summer.

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

1/3 coffee (or better, kalhua)

1/3 vodka

1/3 milk or 10% cream

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 3 points 3 months ago

Double shot espresso in a bottle of vodka. Check

[-] Policeshootout@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

The dude abides 😎

My wife and I love white Russians. Lately we've been making our own coffee syrup, Havana 7 year rum and 10% cream. It's also very good.

I love the Dude but never got my tsste for White Russian. Black Russian, however... yum

Coffee tonic water at my local cafe is pretty great on a hot day. Give it a go.

[-] multicolorKnight@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Ooh. Extra bitter with your bitter.

[-] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

More sugar in tonic than I'm used to in my coffee I must say.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

My daily go-to is an iced breve latte. Two shots of espresso with half-and-half in place of the milk (I usually do half whole milk, the rest half and half to make it lighter/cheaper).

The nutrients you have definitely affect the way you think, and you seem to be thinking quite reasonably to me.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

A strong cup of black coffee.

Since I live in Vietnam these are not exactly less common here but would be back in the States:

  1. Egg Coffee (which is not super common because it is crazy sweet)

  1. Ice Coffee with condensed milk. An excellent treat on a hot Hanoi afternoon.

Coftea, with milk and sugar tastes divine, but maybe only because I'm brewing it with both cheap tea and cheap coffee.

[-] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks for reminding me I need to try the new beans I just got as a sprover. The iced americano was a banger. Sprover should be even better.

[-] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

Coffee soda 🤯 I am definitely gonna try this!! 😀

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago

Oh man. In the '90s Pepsi test marketed a coffee soda called Pepsi Kona in my area. I loooooved it but I think most people didn't care for it. It never occurred to me that I could just make it!

[-] mister_newbie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Cherry juice concentrate, cold brew concentrate, simple syrup, soda water.

Takes like Cherry Coke.

Yuen yueng is super delicious. I haven't tried making it myself yet though.

[-] ownsauce@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Put a dash or two of long pepper with the coffee grinds in my aeropress.

Gives it a nice aroma and subtle change in taste. I tried putting the pepper directly into my cup at first but the grounds would settle at the bottom and be weird to drink at the last sip (kinda like turkish coffee or moka/vietnamese coffee with the fine grinds at the end).

Inpsired by the mixed ice drinks at the chain "the coffee bean and tea leaf" (I only see it when traveling, not native to hometown) I just make coffee and chai tea, mix it together with butter (hot). Their iced drinks are amazing, and besides the large amount of sugar, Im certain its the mix of coffe and tea.
