Think about how good a donut tastes with a side of coffee — the bitterness of the coffee perfectly cuts the sweetness of the donut. Like wine and cheese pairings, there are certain food and coffee combinations that complement each other best. And when coffee is paired properly, you will be able to taste the enhanced flavors of both the coffee and food at hand.
What is the best food and coffee pairing?
The best food and coffee combination will be the one that you enjoy most and want to have again and again. Like how every couple should learn to enjoy their flavors before they introduce their partners to them. So pick a mix of coffee and food that you enjoy, and stick to it!
Caffeine, Mouthfeel, and Aroma
If you love coffee, you already know that this is the most exciting aspect of the beverage. And there are numerous ways to enjoy a cup of joe that allow you to increase the taste and mouthfeel of your drink. This includes lowering the coffee’s heat by brewing at a lower temperature, changing the way you brew to maximize extraction, and making your coffee as fresh as possible. Caffeine is the most exciting part of the coffee process since your body processes the beverage in the same way it processes caffeine from tea. Coffee also contains dozens of different chemicals, which, when combined, create a pleasant taste sensation. To have a caffeine-free experience, you can opt for decaf coffee.
How to pair coffee with food
The secret is to avoid black coffee. Try using a light roast and then blending in espresso with your favorite dark roast. Although this sounds complicated, you should be able to get it right.
