What happens when you pair exceptional coffee with some of the world’s favourite flavours? When blended correctly, flavoured coffee offers delicious, exciting and indulgent ways to enjoy coffee moments. But which flavours work well together? And which recipes and flavours taste best? Read on to find out.
Coffee and milky recipes: the perfect match
We know that most coffee drinkers in Australia enjoy a milky coffee. We also know that milk can enhance coffee by adding a new layer of flavour and texture to your cup . That’s why our team of experts embarked on a journey of exploring coffee and milk interactions to create a delicious range of flavoured coffee to be enjoyed with milk.
Our Barista Creations range celebrates bold flavours and indulgent aromas. Each creation has been developed for its unique alchemy with milk. From a small cortado to larger cappuccinos, a variety of recipes can be created from each of the coffees within the range.
Available in both Original and Vertuo capsule systems, there’s a blend for every preference.
Choosing flavoured coffee
Selecting the perfect flavours for our coffee was no easy feat. Coffee was sourced from 18 different origins, around 20,000 cappuccinos were tested and over 120 coffee prototypes were made in the production of our Barista Creations range.
Our experts conducted sophisticated trials, pushed the boundaries of roasting and grinding and left no stone unturned so that you can be sure that every coffee will be exceptional.
But like all things in life, choosing your favourite flavour will come down to your own personal preference. We’ve covered some of the world’s favourite treats as inspiration so you can enjoy sweet milky moments at home including Vanilla Custard, Crème Brulee, Cocoa Truffle and Vanilla Éclair.
How our flavoured coffee is made
No two blends are the same. Each has its own origin(s), tasting profile, and techniques used in the growing, harvesting and roasting stages. Because of this, each coffee is different in terms of taste and aroma.
The base blend for this flavoured coffee is made up of some of South America’s finest Arabicas. Blended Brazilian Bourbon beans are washed with Colombian coffee and then split roasted. This is where the roast develops its smooth texture and rounded result. Then we add the caramel flavour to bring this tasty treat to the next level.
In this Arabica coffee blend, the finest South American coffees come together. A split roast creates an incredibly smooth and rounded espresso and a cocoa flavour is added to round out the blend and create a rich, velvety taste.
Caramel Cookie is a caramel flavoured coffee, but it all starts with the base coffee blend of Latin American and African Arabicas. We split roast the coffees in this blend – it develops the beans to deliver an incredibly rounded coffee with a soft biscuit note. To this we add caramel flavour, which gives it a buttery biscuit note that’ll take you back to your childhood days.
Vanilla flavour eases effortlessly into smooth Latin American and African Arabicas. We split roast the coffees in this blend which develops the beans to deliver an incredibly rounded coffee with a soft biscuit note. When we add in the creamy vanilla flavour, it creates a silky, smooth-textured coffee.
