Gourmet Coffee Specialty Drinks & Counting Calories -- Home Brewed Premium Coffee Helps Keep Fat, Sugar Content Low -- Flavor Rich
Consumers are often unaware of extremely high sugar and fat content of their favorite gourmet coffee concoctions. Brewing premium coffees at home can lower sugar and fat content while increasing flavor.
Parlin, NJ (PRWEB) April 14, 2005 -- Gourmet 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 cant 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 and other gourmet 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.
