After all, coffee is a concept that can be described in many ways and enjoyed in as many ways.
Nature’s gift to man? The biggest motivation to get out of bed in the morning and seize the day? The student’s best friend studying for the exam? The best company when you meet a friend after a long time and have a lot to say?
After all, coffee is a concept that can be described in many ways and enjoyed in as many ways.
11 experts present how they perceive the ideal coffee.
Dr. Robin Berzin, MD and founder of Parsley Health
“My recipe for the ideal morning coffee is this: espresso mixed with cinnamon and coconut oil, plus or minus a spoonful of medium chain triglyceride oil (MCT oil).”
Valerie Agyeman, nutritionist and founder of Flourish Heights
“Lately, I’ve been really looking forward to my morning coffee. For foam, I whip up some almond milk and add cinnamon and a little honey. All the warmth and relaxation in one cup to start my day off right!”.
Shizu Okusa, founder of Apothékary
“I start almost every day with this super creamy, energy-boosting, hormone-balancing cocoa mint energy latte. It takes a total of 30 seconds to make and gives me balanced energy for a whole day. I make a cup of oat milk, add 1.5 teaspoons of Chill The F* Out, 1 teaspoon of Maca, 1 teaspoon of maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon and just whisk it all together in a mug for 10-15 seconds. Ready!”.
Dr. Mona Vand, pharmacist and blogger
“In my coffee, I like to add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and homemade coconut milk. But in matcha, I add either coconut milk or oat milk. I love the creaminess of coconut milk and that the coconut milk, cinnamon and nutmeg have a natural sweetness without having to add sugar, which makes a big difference.”
Tess Brigham, psychotherapist
“One very important thing you should know about me is: I LOVE coffee and I take making my coffee every day very seriously. Over the years I’ve tried skim milk, soy milk, almond milk, even oat milk, but I always come back to using cream.”
Jessica Rihal, yoga and meditation instructor
“I experiment with adding different supplements to my coffee, but lately I’ve been enjoying a combination of reishi, maca and CBD. I feel this combination helps me feel calmer and have longer lasting energy. On weekends or evenings when I’m not in the mood for caffeine, I usually make it with mint tea instead of coffee for a more relaxing option.”
Lo Bosworth, Founder and CEO of Love Wellness
“Lately, I’ve been making an iced coffee with protein. I make it with coffee, cream (I usually use half and half, but you can use almond milk), chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, and almond butter!”
Nitika Chopra, founder of Chronicon
“I have to drink an oat milk latte with two stevia every morning or I don’t feel full. Lastly, I add a pinch of cinnamon because I feel like a special treat without adding sugar. Plus, studies show that cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties, which is an added bonus!”
Ariel Belgrave, Health & Fitness Coach and creator of the LEAN method
“I don’t drink coffee, but I’m all about matcha! The way I drink my matcha is over ice. I like to add vanilla almond milk and honey to lighten the bitterness.”
Erika Polsinelli, Kundalini Breathwork therapist and founder of Evolve By Erika
“Years ago I gave up coffee because I suffered from anxiety and caffeine made it worse for me. When I crave a coffee or a warm delicious drink, my choice is a cocoa elixir. It’s delicious and wakes me up with the little and natural caffeine that cocoa contains.”
Erika’s recipe includes the following steps:
- Heat the oat milk over low to medium heat
- You add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa
- You add 1 piece of cocoa butter
- You add a little organic vanilla extract
- You add a teaspoon of cinnamon
- You add a drop of agave syrup”
Dr. Poonam Desai, MD
“I drink my coffee without additives. “Black coffee has many antioxidants and nutrients and is associated with a reduced risk of many diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.”
