What is your insistence on coffee? Is it just easy to eat, or is there no black coffee without sugar or milk?

In the past few years, iced coffee has been found everywhere in the United States, from coffee shops and cans of iced coffee sold by some merchants to coffee machines installed in start-ups, GQ reported. But now there is fatigue, and there is another trend, such as doughnut brands Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks starting to think about the variations of iced coffee. Bien Cuit, a bakery in Brooklyn, is offering drinks that combine soda with espresso, a trend that began in Sweden, whether it's Konditori, a Swedish coffee bar in New York, Slate Coffee, a coffee shop in Seattle, or Saint Frank, a coffee shop in San Francisco, all offering a wonderful combination of soda and espresso.

Stumptown, a Portland coffee brand in the United States, pointed out that to solve the current fatigue of ice drop coffee, coffee is regarded as a cocktail. Good coffee is bitter in sweetness, sour in bitterness, sometimes chocolate or caramel, and sometimes unripe strawberry or orange peel. Like alcohol, these flavors are more obvious when paired with syrup, fruit or vanilla.

To this end, Stumptown tried a variety of coffee with different ingredients combination, Matt Lounsbury, director of corporate development said: "if the coffee quality is good, the taste should be well balanced." The addition of lemon will enhance the sour taste of the coffee. "

Some hot espresso will be filled with lemon peel, and the aromatic oil in the lemon peel will be released into the coffee, reducing the bitterness of the coffee. This drink has existed in Italy for decades and can be found in everything from Gothenburg in Sweden to trendy coffee shops in New York. Coffee shops Everyman Espresso and Smith Canteen in New York have also developed their own signature coffee and lemon drinks.

Once you've tried adding soda to iced coffee, it will open up your infinite imagination of coffee, and the flavor of coffee that used to be covered with milk and sugar may also be able to jump out.
