1
Espresso The foundation of most coffee drinks in the world is espresso, a highly concentrated coffee made by forcing hot water through finely ground beans at high pressure.
2
This creates a small, dense shot with a layer of golden foam on top called crema.
3
The word espresso is Italian and roughly means pressed out, referring to what is now one of the most popular coffee brewing methods in the world.
4
The quality of an espresso is influenced by factors like the grind size, water temperature, pressure, and the barista's skill.
5
Latte
6
Latte is made with a shot of espresso mixed with a lot of steamed milk
7
and a small layer of foam on top.
8
The milk softens the bitterness of the espresso and makes the drink smoother and easier to sip, which has made it one of the most popular coffee drinks in the world.
9
The name comes from the Italian cafe latte, which just means coffee with milk.
10
The ratio is usually one part espresso to about three or four parts milk, making it one of the mildest espresso drinks.
11
Latte art came out of the specialty coffee movement in the 1980s in Seattle and spread globally from there.
12
Americano An Americano is just espresso with hot water added to it.
13
It tastes similar to drip coffee but has a slightly different character because of how the espresso was brewed.
14
The drink was supposedly invented by US soldiers stationed in Italy during World War II who found the normal espresso too strong.
15
So, they started diluting it with hot water.
16
The drink keeps the flavor of espresso but is lighter and less intense.
17
Affogato
18
The affogato is a classic Italian dessert consisting of a scoop
19
of vanilla ice cream with a hot shot of espresso poured directly over it.
20
The word avocato means drowned in Italian, describing the ice cream slowly melting into the coffee.
21
It's commonly served in Italy after meals.
22
Modern variations may use chocolate or hazelnut gelato, and some versions add a splash of liquor like amaretto or frangelico.
23
Turkish coffee Turkish coffee is one of the oldest brewing methods still in widespread use today.
24
Very finely ground coffee, almost powder-like, is simmered directly in a small pot called the czezwe, along with water and often sugar.
25
It's never filtered, so the grounds settle to the bottom of the cup and you stop drinking before you reach them.
26
It originated in the Ottoman Empire in the 1500s and coffee houses in Istanbul were among the first in the world.
27
Some people also read the patterns left by the grounds in the cup as a form of fortune-telling.
28
Vietnamese Egg Coffee Vietnamese egg coffee was invented in Hanoi in 1946, during a period when fresh milk was scarce.
29
A bartender at Sofitel Legend Metropole Hotel named Nguyen Van Zang started whipping egg yolks with sugar
30
and condensed milk to replace the missing dairy, then spooned it over strong Vietnamese coffee.
31
The resulting drink has a custard-like consistency and is often described as liquid tiramisu.
32
The recipe became so popular that Jiang eventually opened his own establishment, Jiang Cafe, which is still operated by his family today.
33
Cold Brew Cold brew is coffee that's brewed slowly with cold water instead of hot water.
34
The process usually takes 12 to 24 hours.
35
This slow extraction process avoids the use of heat, which prevents the extraction of many of the bitter and acidic compounds found in traditional hot coffee,
36
making the drink naturally smoother and sweeter even without any added sugar.
37
Cold brew is not the same as iced coffee, which is just hot coffee poured over ice.
38
Cold brew became commercially popular in the United States around 2015 and exploded from there into the global market.
39
It also has a longer shelf life than hot coffee and stays good in the fridge for up to two weeks.
40
Nitro Cold Brew Nitro Cold Brew is regular cold brew coffee that gets infused with nitrogen gas and served on tap, like a beer.
41
The nitrogen bubbles are much smaller than carbon dioxide bubbles, which gives the coffee a thick, creamy texture and a foamy head without any dairy at all.
42
Starbucks launched Nitro Cold Brew in their stores in 2016, and it took off quickly.
43
Because of the way nitrogen interacts with the liquid, it actually tastes sweeter than regular cold brew even though nothing is added.
44
It's usually served without ice, so the drink doesn't get watered down.
45
Ethiopian Buna Ethiopia is widely considered the birthplace of coffee, with legends tracing the discovery of the plant to a goat
46
herder named Kaldi who noticed his goats acting unusually energetic after eating berries from a particular tree.
47
The Ethiopian coffee ceremony known as Buna is a deeply symbolic event that can last several hours.
48
It involves roasting raw green coffee beans over open flame, grinding them by hand, and brewing them in a clay pot called a jebana.
49
The coffee is served in three rounds, each one progressively weaker than the last.
50
The first round, abol, is the strongest and is intended for pleasure.
51
The second, tona, is more diluted and intended for contemplation.
52
The final round, baraka, which means blessing, is believed to bring good fortune to the drinkers.
53
It can take up to two hours and is meant to be shared with neighbors and guests.
54
The word buna simply means coffee and omaric.
55
Cappuccino A cappuccino is equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam, usually served in a small cup.
56
The name comes from the Capuchin Friars, a Catholic religious order whose brown robes were said to match the color of the drink.
57
Others say it refers to the foam on top resembling the hoods the friars wore.
58
A traditional Italian cappuccino is a morning drink, since the high milk content is believed to interfere with digestion later in the day.
59
Variations of the drink involve the use of cream instead of milk, using non-dairy milk substitutes and flavoring with cocoa powder or cinnamon.
60
Finnish kaffeost Kaffeost means coffee cheese, and the Sami people of northern Finland and Sweden have been drinking it for centuries.
61
A mild squeaky cheese called justolepa is cut into cubes and placed directly into a cup of coffee.
62
The cheese absorbs the coffee without melting, softens slightly, and takes on its flavor.
63
You drink the coffee first, then eat the cheese with a spoon.
64
The cheese has a texture similar to halloumi or fresh cheese curds.
65
To people unfamiliar with it, the combination sounds strange.
66
But the flavor is mild and the cheese picks up a subtle coffee taste that many people find surprisingly good.
67
Mocha A mocha is a latte with chocolate added, usually in the form of chocolate syrup or cocoa powder mixed into the espresso before the milk is added.
68
It tastes like a cross between coffee and hot chocolate.
69
The name actually comes from the port city of Mocha in Yemen, which was a major hub for coffee trade centuries ago.
70
Yemeni coffee from that region was known for having a natural chocolatey flavor, and the name eventually became associated with the combination of coffee and chocolate,
71
even though modern mochas have nothing to do with Yemen specifically.
72
The Dutch later smuggled coffee plants from Yemen to Java, Indonesia, leading to the creation of the world's first commercial blend, mocha Java.
73
This blend balanced the bright acidic notes of Yemeni beans with the bold, earthy tones of Javanese coffee.
74
It's one of the most popular coffee orders worldwide, and is often considered a good entry point for people who find plain coffee too bitter.
75
Mexican Café de Olla Café de Olla means coffee from the pot, and it's a traditional Mexican way of brewing coffee.
76
Ground coffee is simmered in a clay pot along with cinnamon and piloncillo, which is an unrefined brown sugar with a deep molasses-like flavor.
77
The clay pot is said to add a subtle earthy quality to the drink
78
that you can't get in a regular coffee maker.
79
It's a common morning drink across Mexico and is especially popular during the Day of the Dead celebrations and the Christmas season.
80
The cinnamon and piloncillo make it naturally warming and slightly sweet without needing to add anything else.
81
Gibraltar A Gibraltar, also called a cortado in most places, is a shot of espresso with just enough steamed milk to cut the acidity and round out the flavor.
82
The ratio is usually about one part espresso to one part milk, served in a small glass.
83
The Gibraltar name comes from the Libby Gibraltar glass it's traditionally served in, a name that became popular at Blue Bottle Coffee in San Francisco in the early 2000s.
84
It sits right between an espresso and a latte in terms of strength and milk content, which makes it a favorite for people who want to actually taste the coffee but find a straight espresso a bit sharp.
85
The small glass and short drink make it something you sip quickly.
86
Bulletproof Coffee Bulletproof Coffee is brewed coffee blended with grass-fed butter and a supplement called MCT Oil, which is a fat derived from coconut oil.
87
It was popularized by entrepreneur Dave Asprey around 2011, after he tried yak butter tea in Tibet and came back wanting to create something similar.
88
The idea caught on quickly among people following keto and low-carb diets.
89
Drinkers say the fats provide long-term lasting energy without a blood sugar spike.
90
Critics point out that replacing a meal with butter and oil cuts out a lot of nutrients.
91
It became a significant commercial product and spawned an entire brand around the concept.
92
Cafe Cubano Cafe Cubano is a small, intensely sweet espresso shot that originated in Cuba.
93
What makes it different from a regular espresso is a thick, sugary foam on top called espuma.
94
It's made by whipping the very first drops of espresso together with sugar until they turn into a pale, creamy paste, then letting the rest of the shot pour over it.
95
The result is very strong, sweet, and rich.
96
The sugar is built into the drink from the very beginning.
97
This drink is very common in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood.
98
Greek Frappe The Greek Frappe is a cold, foamy iced coffee made from instant coffee, water, and sometimes sugar, shaken or blended until it produces a thick,
99
light brown foam, then poured over ice and topped with cold water or milk.
100
It was invented by chance in 1957 at a trade fair in Thessaloniki
101
When a Nescafe representative named Demetrius Vacondius couldn't find hot water to make his coffee break,
102
so he mixed instant coffee with cold water in a shaker and discovered the foam it produced.
103
It quickly became the defining coffee drink of Greece.
104
Kopiluak Kopiluak is one of the rarest and most expensive coffees worldwide.
105
It's made from coffee beans that have been eaten
106
and passed through the digestive system of a small animal called the Asian palm civet, a cat-like creature native to Southeast Asia.
107
During digestion, enzymes in the civet's stomach break down proteins in the beans in a way
108
that supposedly reduces bitterness and produces a smoother, more complex flavor.
109
The beans are then collected from the droppings, cleaned, roasted, and sold.
110
They can sell for hundreds of dollars per pound.
111
The original idea came from Indonesian farmers during Dutch colonial rule,
112
where they were forbidden from picking coffee for themselves and started collecting what civets had eaten in the wild instead.
113
The main issue today is that high demand has led to civets being kept in small cages and force-fed coffee berries, which is widely criticized by animal welfare groups.
114
Ethically sourced, truly wild kopiluak exists but is extremely rare and expensive.
115
Dalgona Coffee Dalgona coffee is a whipped coffee drink that went globally viral in early 2020.
116
It's made by whipping equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and hot water together until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and fluffy, then spooning that foam over a glass of cold milk.
117
The foam floats on top and you stir it in before drinking.
118
The name comes from a Korean sugar candy called Dalgona that has a similar color and texture.
119
A South Korean actor named Chung Il-woo tried a version of it in Macau
120
and talked about it on a TV show in early 2020, which helped launch it into mainstream attention.
121
It spread across TikTok and Instagram within weeks.
122
The same drink had existed before in various forms across India, Pakistan, and Libya, where it was called beaten coffee or whipped coffee and had been made at home for years.
123
Café Bon Bon
124
Café Bon Bon is a Spanish coffee drink that originated in Valencia and is popular across Spain and parts of Southeast Asia.
125
It's made with equal parts espresso and sweetened condensed milk, usually served in a small glass so you can see the two distinct layers before you stir it.
126
The condensed milk sits at the bottom because it's denser than the coffee, and the visual contrast between the dark espresso on top and the white layer below is part of the appeal.
127
The name bonbon means candy or sweet treat in Spanish.
128
It's rich, sweet, and small, closer to a dessert than a regular coffee.
129
A very similar drink is popular in Malaysia and Singapore under the name kopi susu.
130
Made the same way but using local robusta coffee which is stronger and slightly more bitter.
131
Café Tuba Café Tuba is the most consumed beverage in Senegal and is considered a sacred drink in the Marid Brotherhood,
132
a large Islamic Sufi order founded there in the late 1800s.
133
It's brewed with coffee and a West African spice called Salim pepper, also known as grains of Salim or jar in Wolof, and sometimes with cloves added as well.
134
The combination gives it a warm, spiced, slightly medicinal flavor that sets it apart from any other coffee drink in the world.
135
The drink is named after the holy city of Touba in Senegal, and is closely tied to the teachings of the Brotherhood's founder, Sheikama du Bamba.
136
It's brewed and sold by vendors called Talibe on street corners throughout Dakar across the country, usually poured from large thermoses into small cups.
137
Drinking it is considered both a daily habit and a spiritual act by many Senegalese people.
138
Flat white A flat white is espresso with steamed milk, similar to a latte, but smaller, stronger, and with much less foam.
139
It originated in either Australia or New Zealand in the 1980s.
140
The key difference from a latte is the ratio.
141
A flat white uses the same amount of espresso but significantly less milk, which means the coffee flavor is clearer.
142
The milk is steamed to a velvety, almost silky texture with barely any foam on top, which is where the flat part of the name comes from.
143
It became a major part of the specialty coffee movement globally when Starbucks added it to their menu in 2015, which introduced it to a huge audience that had never seen it before.
144
It's a middle ground between latte and straight espresso.
145
Mazagran Mazagran is widely considered to be the original iced coffee, and it goes back to 1840s Algeria.
146
French soldiers stationed near a fort called Mazagran ran low on milk and started drinking their coffee cold and black, sometimes mixed with cold water or a little sugar.
147
They brought the habit back to France, where cafés started serving it, and the drink eventually evolved into different versions across different countries.
148
In Portugal today, Mazagran is typically espresso served over ice with lemon juice and sometimes a splash of sparkling water, which gives it a slightly sharp,
149
refreshing flavor that feels nothing like a typical coffee drink.
150
It sits somewhere between a coffee and a lemonade and works well in the summer.
151
Yuan Yang Yuan Yang is a Hong Kong drink made by mixing coffee and milk tea together, usually one-part coffee to two-part Hong Kong-style milk tea,
152
which is a strong, creamy tea brewed with evaporated or condensed milk.
153
The name comes from the Mandarin word for the Mandarin duck, a bird where males and females look completely different from each other, used as a symbol for two unlike things paired together.
154
It was created as a working-class drink in Hong Kong's Cha Chan Tengs, which are casual, fast-moving local diners that have been a central part of the city's food culture since the 1950s.
155
You can drink it hot or iced.
156
Arabic Coffee Arabic coffee, known in Arabic as Kuhua, is usually brewed with lightly roasted Arabic beans and spices like cardamom.
157
It's boiled and served in small cups and is often part of hospitality and social gatherings.
158
It's usually served without sugar, brewed in a Dalla, and served in a small cup decorated with a pattern known as Finjan.
159
Arabic coffee originated in Greater Yemen, beginning in the port city of Mocha in Yemen.
160
UNESCO added Kuhua to its list of intangible cultural heritage in 2015.
161
13. Egg Coffee Egg coffee in the Scandinavian tradition is an entirely different drink from the Vietnamese version.
162
It's a method of brewing coffee popular in Sweden, Norway and among Scandinavian immigrant communities in the American Midwest,
163
where it spread in the 19th century and is still made at church gatherings and community events today.
164
The technique involves mixing raw egg, sometimes including the shell, directly into the dry coffee grounds before brewing.
165
The egg binds to the bitter compounds and oils in the coffee during cooking, then coagulates into a clump that floats to the top, taking much of the bitterness with it and leaving behind a clear,
166
smooth, and mild cup.
167
The finished drink has very little bitterness and a clean, light flavor that surprises most people who try it.

你能学到什么
通过这个视频，你可以锻炼三种实用口语技能：一是用英语清晰描述事物的结构（如讲解咖啡制作步骤），二是准确使用专业术语（如“crema”“jebana”等咖啡相关词汇），三是自然讲述文化背景（如土耳其咖啡的历史或埃塞俄比亚咖啡仪式）。这些技能能帮助你在日常交流或主题讨论中更有条理地表达观点。
注意这些发音现象
视频中存在不少连读和弱读现象，比如“espresso is”会连读成/ɛˈsprɛsoʊɪz/，“a lot of”中的“of”弱读为/əv/。此外，“Americano”“Affogato”等意大利语外来词的重音位置也需注意，比如“Americano”的重音在倒数第二个音节。这些发音细节能让你的口语更接近母语者。
像母语者一样表达
模仿视频中的节奏和重音是关键。比如讲解“冷萃咖啡”时， speaker 会在“12到24小时”“更顺滑、更甜”等关键信息上加重语气。练习时可采用“英语影子跟读”法，即边听边重复，同步模仿语调起伏。此外，注意句子的停顿，如介绍“越南蛋咖啡”的发明背景时，在“1946年”“鲜奶稀缺”后稍作停顿，能让表达更有层次感。
看YouTube学英语是个不错的方法，结合shadowspeaks技巧或使用shadowing site进行练习，能有效提高英语发音和口语流畅度。坚持模仿视频中的表达，你会发现自己的英语越来越地道。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
