From the same creators of “coffee can be reheated”, comes: coffee tastes better when sweetened.

Do not be fooled. According to experts, there are bad habits such as sweetening any beverage made of coffee, perhaps as a result of the high consumption of “agua’e panela” to which we have become accustomed or due to the fact that in some cases the coffee did not have such a good flavor. It is important to know that premium coffee has an excellent quality and due to its flavor characteristics it does not need extra sweetness, but to learn to know its flavors and aromas.

I don’t order espresso because it is the strongest coffee, that’s a lie.

After making a brief study among a group of friends, they all concluded that espresso is a strong drink, many avoid it for fear of bitterness and excessive caffeine load. However, experts assure that this is a vile lie. Red coffee contains more caffeine because it remains more in contact with heat (3 to 5 minutes), while espresso only lasts 30 seconds, which generates a shorter release of energy. In addition, what many do not know is that latte, cappuccino and macchiato are based on espresso coffee, the difference is the milk content of each one.

Cold coffee is ugly

The biggest falsehood! Although they say that temperature regulation is achieved by drinking something at the same temperature of the environment, can you imagine drinking a hot red on the beach? No. Then if you want to cool off, you can opt for a cold product, such as a Cold Brew or a cold red in our Juan Valdez stores. You will get to know the nuances of coffee feeling a different texture on the palate, besides being able to combine it with ice, lemon, orange, milks or liquors.
