Whatever the time of your coffee, if you are trying to control your weight, you should take note of the varieties of coffee and their caloric intake, something that we have prepared for you in our image gallery.
Chocolate coffee, the best snack
As you can see in the gallery of images, of the innocent 9 calories of an espresso without sugar, you can reach 334 of the chocolate coffee. And all this without taking into account the cappuccinos with syrup, natachinos and cafelattechinos from some coffee chains, whose levels of sugar and fat can reach the stratosphere. By this we do not mean that you give up your favorite coffee. Just be aware of what it means and take it more as a snack or mid-morning (without accompanying it with anything else) than as the dessert after dessert.
The best choice
Without a doubt, the best coffee is the espresso from the trusted bar of a lifetime (with or without milk, whether or not soy, lactose-free, almond… for tastes, colors). And of course, the homemade option, where the most important thing, in addition to the type of coffee and the coffee maker you choose, is how you preserve it. Because, if you don't want that terrific coffee you've bought to lose part of its aroma and qualities, you must save it accordingly. Take note:
- Hermetic container. If it has rubber gaskets, the better. You will prevent the aroma from evaporating and the flavors of other foods from affecting it.
- Out of moisture. It is one of the worst enemies of coffee. Store it in a cool, dry place, and always well covered.
- Far from other flavors. Coffee absorbs the aromas and flavors of other foods very easily. Try to keep it in a dedicated container just for him and away from strong odors.
- Grind in the moment. If possible, it is best to grind the coffee beans just before preparing it. If they make it to you in the store, tell them the type of coffee maker you use so that they can adjust the thickness of the grind.
- Water matters. If your local water is hard, better use mineral water. If you use tap water, your coffee will taste better if you let it sit to allow the chlorine to evaporate.
- Do not reheat it. The coffee should be drunk fresh. If you have no choice, use the microwave so that the aroma is not lost and add an extra bit of mineral water.
