Ideal for adding to any coffee or tea, mushroom coffee creamer can help you boost your health and wellness. It supports a boost of energy, improved cognition, and adaptogenic benefits. Mushroom coffee creamer can be added to mushroom coffee. However, it’s also a great choice if you already have a favorite traditional coffee you want to stick with. Most mushroom coffee creamers have a mild, earthy taste. However, the flavor can vary depending on the type of “cream” or sweetener used, such as coconut milk, stevia or monk fruit, or vanilla flavoring.

Many coffee lovers who want to take advantage of mushroom creamer’s health benefits are hesitant about the switch due to the earthy taste of the mushrooms. Undoubtedly, it does take some time to adjust to using a mushroom coffee creamer instead of a regular coffee creamer. However, opting for a sweetened variety with added flavor, such as cinnamon or cocoa, can help mask the taste of the mushrooms as you adjust.

Drip coffee vs. Americano: A showdown of coffee styles
Alike in appearance, different in taste
shot of espresso

When you're in the mood for a classic coffee that is both bold and black, what do you order? My go-to order is a hot Americano, an espresso-based drink that hits the spot without the distraction of added coffee flavors or cream. It's the perfect coffee order for the morning when I'm not quite ready for anything sweet. At first glance, an Americano and a cup of traditional drip coffee look the same to the naked eye. However, these two drinks are compared entirely differently and have vastly different tastes. Let's dive in to explore drip coffee vs Americano orders and how they differ.
Preparation of drip coffee vs. Americano

Another factor to consider in the drip coffee vs Americano comparison is their preparation methods. Drip coffee usually refers to coffee that is made using a coffee maker, such as an automatic drip maker. It can also refer to coffee made with other drip methods, such as with a pour over coffee maker or French Press brewer. Regardless, the process involves using hot water and medium-to-coarsely ground coffee, which will "drip" through to brew coffee. A typical cup of drip coffee is about 8 ounces.

Cafe Au Lait vs. latte: Are these two coffee orders the same?
Comparing these two coffee orders
cafe au lait

As a coffee connoisseur who has traveled to Paris, I'm embarrassed to say I never had a chance to order a "Cafe Au Lait" while visiting French coffee shops. Something about the name sounds fancy and almost intimidating. However, the Cafe Au Lait is one of the more simplistic Barista-style coffees you can order, containing only coffee and milk. Conversely, a latte uses an espresso base and much more milk for a completely different flavor. Not to mention, one drink has a French origin, where the other formed its roots in Italy. No matter where you order your coffee, here's how to differentiate between a Cafe Au Lait vs. latte -- which are not the same coffee order.
Cafe Au Lait vs. latte

As you can see in this short video by Birchin Lane Coffee Company, a Cafe Au Lait and a latte look similar but contain different ingredients. Cafe Au Lait, which translates to "coffee with milk" in French, contains equal portions of brewed coffee and steamed milk. This coffee is made with one part coffee to one part steamed milk, which keeps things simple and does not include any milk froth or foam on top. The coffee used for a Cafe Au Lait is regular coffee, which can be brewed either with a traditional drip coffee maker or a French Press coffee maker. The Cafe Au Lait is mild and creamy -- a drink I feel any coffee drinker can enjoy.

Get ready for the weekend with this twist on an Irish Coffee
Take the classic recipe up a notch with flavored whiskey
Coffee with whipped cream

It's nearly time for National Irish Coffee day, falling this weekend, so why not treat yourself to this beloved warm cocktail? Traditionally it's made with Irish whiskey, coffee, and whipped cream, though there's plenty of room for making this classic recipe your own as well if you fancy something a little different.

One great suggestion for a modern twist on this classic cocktail comes from Bridget Albert, Senior Director of External Communications & Host of the Served Up Podcast at Southern Glazer's. Her Café Dublin recipe keeps the Irish whiskey, freshly brewed coffee, and whipped cream, but also includes a couple of creative additions to amp up the flavor. There's the use of a sugar cube soaked with Peychaud’s Bitters to give a spicy, cinnamon note to the drink as well as sweetness, and my favorite addition: an ounce of ginger flavored whiskey. Ginger is such a great bold flavor, that adds some heat and richness that matches great with the bitterness of the coffee and the warming spicy flavors of the whiskey.
