Humans are a creature of habit and coffee drinkers are no exception. Creating the same style of beverage day in, day out becomes part of the ritual when preparing coffee in the home or ordering from your favourite cafe – but what would it be like to just say yes and experiment this week? Try a single origin coffee blend, order or prepare a different beverage style or at a stretch - add no sugar!

For the strict cafe latte or cappuccino drinkers out there, have you ever considered what a well extracted espresso really taste like? How about a cafe macchiato, where the espresso is slightly ‘stained’ with milk?

Exploring the options on your Philips Saeco home machine or at your favourite cafe can be a great way to expand your tastes and discover the intense flavours of an espresso  - or vice versa, a traditional espresso drinker  may find comfort in a cappuccino, topped with shaved chocolate.

Many full automatic machines have a number of options to customise your beverage, whilst having full control of the beans that you use – a great way to try a single origin sourced beans and experimenting with the espresso strength and length.

Quality cafes also have single origin coffee options to select from, that a skilled barista would be more than willing to impart their knowledge on their single origin selections.

It’s all about exploration and experimentation. Try it for a week, you just might discover something amazing!
