Coffee lovers all around the world have their own unique preferences on how they consume their coffee. As you take a cup of your NESCAFÉ Gold as a pick-me-up drink in the morning, you may either put in a creamer for a rich dairy taste. Or you might love to drink your coffee black – plain and simple, enjoying the raw coffee aroma just the way it is.

But do you know some ingredients that can level up the taste of your coffee? Here are five additions that you can include in your favourite drink to give them an exceptional taste.

Cinnamon

If you’re a fan of adding sugar to your coffee, cinnamon may be an addition that’s perfectly suited to your taste. The blend of aroma from the roasted coffee and the spice notes from cinnamon gives you a perfect match to drink. Cinnamon also lends a natural and subtle sweetness and has a lower calorie content. Add a few pinches of cinnamon powder to your coffee, or stir it with a cinnamon stick. 

Mint

This addition may be peculiar to some, but think of how refreshing and decadent a peppermint chocolate dessert is. Similarly, you can add the same notes of freshness and zing with a touch of mint to your coffee. Crush a few mint leaves lightly and swirl them inside your morning cup to experience this magical combination. An easier option is to use a few drops of peppermint oil in your serving. 

Cocoa powder

Chocolate lovers may appreciate this inclusion because what else could be a better match than the taste of chocolate and coffee? Think of desserts like tiramisu or chocolate coffee cake. You can provide the same chocolate richness to your favourite drink, minus the abundance of calories. Just add a few tablespoons of cocoa powder to your black or white coffee, and you’re good to go. 

Salt

Salt does not only lend a richer taste to your coffee, but it’s also one way to remedy a coffee that you’ve done wrongly. Whether you have brewed bad coffee or included too many coffee crystals in your cup, using salt is an excellent way to cut down on the harsh bitterness in your drink. That way, you don’t need to waste time and more coffee to start all over again. 

Vanilla essence

A touch of the aromatic caramel scent of vanilla can also go perfectly well with your coffee. Along with salt, you can also add a few drops of vanilla extract to your regular cup of joe for an upgrade. A better alternative is to use authentic vanilla extract rather than the artificial, processed ones used in baking. Natural essences are always a good match with your drink – other alternatives you can try include hazelnut or almond essences.
