Many people enjoy drinking black coffee, we at Espresso are not adverse to black coffee in the slightest. Despite this, its important to realise the importance and impact that adding milk to your coffee can have. A lot of people have their coffee without sugar or sweeteners yet some may struggle without any milk. Different types of milk have been developed to suit specific dietary requirements, for example, lacto-free milk is produced for those people that are lactose-intolerant. Read on below to see the importance of milk in coffee and why it is a necessity for most coffee drinkers.
Enhanced Taste
When milk is added to coffee it changes the taste slightly, this is particularly true when using different types of milk like soy or oat milk. Also when heated, milk will add a lot of sweetness to your coffee, this will make the coffee more enjoyable to drink. Your coffee will also taste much creamier when milk is added thanks to the fat particles carried in milk.
Creating Milk Foam
Whether it is the aesthetic or just the taste of the foam on your coffee, it will bring happiness to your life! As mentioned previously, the fat content within the milk not only gives a creamier taste to the coffee, it also can create a stable foam structure that gives a attractive look to any coffee before you even taste how delicious it will be.
Includes Nutritional Benefits
The addition of milk to your coffee is also not just about making it look and taste just right for you! There are also many nutritional benefits when milk is added to your coffee. Coffee is already a drink full of healthy vitamins, it includes Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Niancin (Vitamin B3) and Pantothentic acid (Vitamin B5). Coffee also contains levels of Magnesium, Potassium and Maganese. Whilst these are all good, coffee lacks protein, calcium and Vitamin D.
This is where the milk comes in. Milk contains all of the components above, so adding milk to your coffee is a perfect combo. Milk will increase the amount of energy in your coffee and will help sustain you throughout the day.
Removes Acidity From Coffee
Another benefit from adding milk to your coffee is its ability to remove or at least counter the acidity that comes from coffee. Some coffee beans can produce a rather acidic brew, if you are not particularly a fan of this acidic taste or suffer from potential heartburn then you are better off adding milk to your coffee. Milk is more alkaline and so will balance out the acidity of the coffee.
