Cream is a food with a rich taste. It has a silky texture and a thick taste. It may be a little sweet when eaten alone. It is suitable to be tasted with other foods to neutralize the taste, such as coffee.
If we want to trace the history of cream’s earliest appearance in coffee, we can’t just focus on these modern fancy drinks, but we have to look for those stories that have been passed down for hundreds of years~
The ancient "cream coffee"
Front Street looked through the information and learned that the earliest record of adding cream to coffee was in the country of Austria. In 1684, a Polish Jerzy Franciszek KulczyckiSaved the siege of Vienna during the warwas rewarded with a generous bounty, as well as a large quantity of coffee beans left behind after the Turks' defeat. After the war, he opened a local Blue Bottle Café in Vienna.

At first, he served drinks in the store according to the Turkish method of making coffee, that is, the beans were ground into powder, boiled twice with water, and then poured into cups together with the coffee grounds to drink directly. But Austrians really couldn't accept this way of drinking, so in order to cater to the tastes of local residents, he used cloth bags to filter out the coffee grounds, and then added condiments such as cream, honey, spices, etc. Soon such a cup of "first-generation cream coffee" became a favorite of Austrians.
At that time, such cream coffee was usually served in a small glass. Because the mixture of cream and coffee would give a beautiful reddish brown color, which was very similar to the color of the monks of the Capuchin Friars Minor, the Viennese people called it "Kapuziner", which is transliterated as "Capuchin."
As it was introduced into the Italian country and with the birth of the espresso machine, Italians switched to espresso with golden grease, and the original cream was replaced by steam-whipped milk, giving it an Italian name: Cappuccino. In other words, the predecessor of the cappuccino we are familiar with now is cream coffee.
Although "Capuchin" later spawned many versions of fancy coffee, the original "cream coffee" did not disappear. Instead, it was active in major coffee shops under the names of Viennese Coffee or Espresso Con Panna.
Unlike other fancy coffees, you don’t need to stir when tasting Herbalife. You can drink it directly. The low-temperature cream will add a marshmallow-like touch to the sweet and bitter coffee, making it more distinctive.DenseMellow taste layers. However, in the eyes of most people, it is still an extremely strong cup of coffee, so its audience is not large.
In addition to Herbalife, the widely spread Vienna coffee also uses espresso liquid and cream as its main raw materials.

Front Street learned that making traditional Viennese coffee is not complicated. It is usually served in a tall glass with ears. First put about a teaspoon of white sugar at the bottom, then pour about 1/2 of the espresso liquid, then top it with fluffy cream, and sprinkle cinnamon powder, chocolate chips, biscuit crumbs and other foods on top.
Compared with that era of shortage of supplies, today's cream coffee can be said to be more diverse and in different shapes, and they are also given more special names, which makes people's eyes brighter.
For example, Starbucks has a hidden menu"All-Ice American Style + Cream"It is derived from the ancient Viennese coffee. The whole drink only consists of ice cubes,It is a combination of coffee and light cream, and the steps are as simple as putting an elephant in the refrigerator.
In the cream coffee made in this way, under the background of ice cubes, the unbeaten thick cream is first suspended on the surface, and then slowly sinks to the bottom and blends with the espresso, which brings a beautiful layered effect. When you drink it in a big sip, you can also feel the sweet and fragrant taste buds of the cream coffee.
In addition, cream has been taken into many interesting shapes in the skillful hands of various baristas. For example, there is an improved version of "Vienna Coffee" in Korean cafes. With its unique presentation mode of cream and super photogenic appearance, it continues to be active on social media such as Instagram.
