Many people worry about gaining weight when they drink coffee, yet the delicious taste is hard to resist. Therefore, they always hope to find a coffee that is both delicious and less likely to cause weight gain. Here are several common types of coffee with their various indices for your reference.
Italian Coffee: Typically brewed at home using a Moka pot, an Italian invention. This coffee maker uses steam pressure to extract coffee. It allows pressurized steam to pass directly through the coffee grounds, instantly extracting the coffee's essential essence. Thus, the brewed coffee has a rich aroma and a strong bitterness, with a thin layer of coffee oil floating on the surface. This oil is the source of the alluring aroma of Italian coffee.
