You love your regular coffee routine. You wake up, leave home, visit your local barista, grab your coffee order, and head to work. You have ordered the same drink for the past six months, calling it routine, and how it brings comfort, but inside you want to break out of this monotonous routine. Remember breaking out of your routine does not make you abandon your love for your coffee order. Want to switch your usual coffee order, here are 5 creative ways in which you can switch coffee order. 

5 Ways To Switch Your Coffee Order 

1. Espresso Tonic 

If your regular coffee order is a milky flat white or cappuccino, you switch to an Espresso Tonic. It will completely change your coffee game. Espresso Tonic is a Scandinavian drink, which combines two shots of espresso poured over chilled tonic water with ice. Often finished with a twist of orange, if you like. It is a crispy and hydrating drink, and will make you forget your milky coffee order.

2. Spice Infused Coffee Drinks 

Instead of choosing standard sugar options like stevia, caramel or hazelnut, you can add some spices to your coffee, and give a warm earthy note. 

Some Spices That Will Elevate Your Coffee

Spice 

Why?

Cardamom and Cinnamon

Inspired by Middle East coffee preparations. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or grounded cardamom directly to your coffee brings out aromatic warmth. 

Lavender and Orange Blossoms 

Floral syrups of lavender and orange blossoms are added to your coffee, with light roasted beans and oat milk. This order gives a delicate herb sweetness. 

Rosemary and Sea Salt

A hint of rosemary into a cold brew with sea salt gives a sweet savory taste to your coffee.

3. Manual Coffee Extraction

If your usual order comes from a coffee machine, try something personal, something manual this time. You can go for a manual coffee extraction method such as pour-over or french press.

 

4. Elevate Your Coffee With Cold Foam or Shaken Espresso 

Sometimes changing the texture of your drink turns it into something entirely new. You can try these two to understand the hype behind these drinks. 

  • Italian Shakerato: Espresso shaken vigorously over ice with a touch of simple syrup in a cocktail shaker.

  • Salted Cream Foam: ask for a layer of cold-whipped cream or oat milk foam floated on top. Each sip offers a contrast between cold, sweet foam and crisp, dark coffee underneath. 

5. Experiment With Plant Based Milks

If you have ever tried plant based milk, you know how milk plays a very important role in your coffee order. If you have always opted for oat or almond milk, we have three new options for you. 

  • Pistachio Milk: Creamy with a mild, buttery, nutty flavor that pairs seamlessly with medium-to-dark roasts.

  • Macadamia Milk: Subtle and luxurious, macadamia milk froths into a silk-like texture that enhances latte art without overpowering the coffee’s natural aroma.

  • Coconut-Cashew Blends: Provides a rich, velvety mouthfeel with just enough tropical sweetness to balance bitter notes.

    • Conclusion

    Stepping out of your routine coffee order does not require you to have a whole new personality. You can start by playing with the texture, milk, taste, and brewing techniques. You never know by trying new things, you can find your next favourite.
