“Tall Skinny No Whip Frappacino To Go”

I hope you are having a wonderful day! I have a question for you…
Do you get intimidated when at the coffee shop, wanting to just order something directly off the menu because you are afraid to ask for anything specific?  You are not alone!
But you can get a ton of unwanted calories from your daily coffee…a Starbucks Grande Cafe Latte has a whopping 190 Calories when made with 2% milk, and 220 when made with Whole Milk!
If you order a Grande non-fat, or `skinny’ cafe latte, it will be made with skim milk, and only has 130 calories. When looking at the Starbucks menu, you can see that there are countless variations that can be made on your favorite drink.  Using non-fat milk, sugar free syrups and passing on that whipped cream can really knock off the unwanted calories from your morning or afternoon treat.
These specifications do not only apply to Starbucks.  You can use the same terminology at any coffee shop, and they will know what you are asking for.
And don`t be shy! It can feel a bit intimidating or rude to list all of the specialties that you want in your coffee, but trust me, the barista`s are used to these kinds of orders, and are not offended if you ask for non fat or no whip with your mocha.
So, when going out for a coffee, remember these tips:

If you are not sure what the sizes are, ask if you can see an example of their version of small, medium or large, or in Starbucks case, tall, grande and venti.
If you are not sure what a drink has in it, or if it automatically comes with whipped cream on top, ask
Make sure to ask for a non-fat or skinny version, as this mean your drink will be made with skim milk instead of 2% or whole milk
You can even request how hot you want your beverage-if you are taking it with you, you may want to ask it to be extra hot so it is still warm by the time you reach your destination
If you are ever in doubt, an Americano with no cream or sugar is 0 calories! A tea is also a great non-fat choice
If you do use cream in your coffee, make sure to request the barista `leave room for cream`and to make an even healthier choice, ask for some of that skim milk instead of using cream at all to whiten your coffee

Try a new drink today!  By making the non-fat choice you can cut out up to 1000 calories from your diet per week “It’s time to break them BAD habits & create NEW healthy habits” Click Here To Visit Strip That Fat

Coffee 101: Get The Best Cream Whipper

The coffee industry is enjoying such popularity and success as more coffee houses or coffee shops are being built everywhere. It is largely because coffee has evolved. Gone were the days when you are only given two choices when ordering coffee: black or with cream. This is the reason why coffee shops can be seen in almost every corner. There are so many coffee varieties with many fancy names attached to it. When Frappucino was introduced to the public, coffee lovers went crazy over it. When it is served with whipped cream on top of it, many non-coffee drinkers started their own love affair with coffee. It meant that a cream whipper and nitrous oxide cartridges will be one of barista’s must-have items.

No professional barista will be caught using ready-to-use whipped cream cans. Those who have been in the business of food and beverage preparation professionally know that when it comes to such creams, freshly whipped cream rules. Aside from using the cream whipper in making frappuccino, there are so many other coffee recipes using whipped cream to enhance the taste of coffee or to add a unique flavor to it. To come up with the best recipes, a coffee shop should also use the best coffee equipment and gadgets.

Look for the best in the industry. A cream whipper must not only be durable but it has to be user friendly as well since it would be used over and over again. With that in mind, the whipper should also be easy to clean at the end of the day. Those discriminating consumers can easily tell if there is something unusual with the coffee they ordered. Aside from the cream whipper, high quality disposable gas cylinders or nitrous oxide cartridges are needed to charge it up. Look out for those HACCP certified so you are guaranteed that they are not only safe but in excellent condition.

When in search for the best cream whipper for your coffee shop, check what other successful coffee houses are using. Most of them are using top of the line stainless steel dispenser that would not easily break down because of everyday use. Look out for a cream whipper that comes not only with a charger holder and decorating nozzle but also with a cleaning brush. Choose a whipper that can hold a large amount of cream so it can provide more with one charging. Better have a great supply of your nitrous oxide cartridges since whipped creams are popular with coffee lovers.

Never make the mistake of switching nitrous oxide cartridges with carbon dioxide cylinders also known as CO2 cartridges. These disposable CO2 gas cylinders are used with a soda siphon to make soda water. They look quite similar to each other so be very careful when buying them. These small cylinders will greatly affect your whipped cream. However, when you use the right equipment for it, you are assured that you will be producing the best freshly whipped cream in the world. Try adding different flavors to it such as mint, raspberry, or liquor to make the coffee even more distinctive.
