Best Coffee Drinks for Beginners: Start Your Coffee Journey

If you are new to coffee, the wide range of drinks and terminology can feel overwhelming. This guide to the best coffee for beginners will help you understand what to order and how to develop your palate. J&B Coffee is the perfect place to start your coffee journey, with knowledgeable baristas who welcome questions.

Where to Start

If you have never had coffee before, start with a latte. The milk softens the intensity of the espresso, making it approachable and pleasant. A latte is sweet, creamy, and easy to drink. Once you are comfortable with lattes, try a cappuccino, which has a stronger coffee flavor due to its higher ratio of espresso to milk. From there, you can explore flat whites, americanos, and eventually espresso shots if you want to taste coffee in its purest form.

For cold drinks, start with an iced latte or a frappe. These are familiar and satisfying. Cold brew is a great next step, offering a smooth coffee flavor without the acidity that sometimes puts beginners off hot black coffee.

Tips for Beginner Coffee Drinkers

• Add sugar or syrup if you like sweet drinks. There is no shame in starting sweet.
• Try different milk options. Oat milk is naturally sweet and pairs well with espresso.
• Ask your barista for recommendations. They love helping beginners find their drink.
• Take small sips and notice the flavors. Coffee tasting is a skill you develop over time.
