PARLIN, NJ - April 14, 2005Gourmet coffee specialty
drinks at premium coffee Bars may contain up to 4 tablespoons
of sugar! You may as well indulge in a candy bar. Combine
your caffeine with whipped cream, whole milk, sugar, flavoring
syrup and sprinkles and you may be consuming as much as
800 calories in a medium sized cup! If you can't resist
having a pastry with your latte, you could be above a
thousand calories for what you thought was a light snack.
When you make that gourmet coffee drink at home, you can use skim milk, leave off the whipped cream, drop the flavored syrup and use cinnamon or vanilla powder. If you skip the high saturated fat whipped cream and use milk frother on your cappuccino maker instead, and then use artificial sweetener in your coffee drink - it will taste just as good with less than half the total fat and sugar content.
Brewing gourmet coffee beans at home also allows your choice of fresh ground coffee beans from mellow Jamaican Blue Mountain Roast to rich French Roast blends. Home brewing gourmet coffee lets you use premium, fresh roasted coffee beans at less than 25 cents per cup. Even the rarest and most expensive coffee sold, the exotic Kopi Luwak, at $175 per pound, is still less than $1.75 per cup when brewed at home!
With summer approaching, the popularity of cold premium coffee drinks soars
at local coffee bars. A medium size frozen gourmet coffee
drink has about 400 calories and as much fat as one-third
recommended daily fat intake! That is equivalent to a
slice of pizza, two cream donuts or a quarter pounder
with cheese! A venti Java Chip Frappuccino from Starbucks
has chocolate chips under whipped cream, includes chocolate
syrup, and totals 650 calories, 25 grams of fat, 17 grams
of saturated fat and 99 grams of carbohydrates. This,
according to calculator on the
Starbucks.com web site.
So consider making low calorie, low fat frozen coffee drinks at home. As with other home brewed gourmet coffee drinks, you can choose your favorite coffee beans and roast to complement your favorite flavors.
