PRESTO BLOG

At Presto, we've recently launched our cold brew coffee bags - delicious and convenient for those looking for a refreshing cold brew on the go with minimum fuss. Simply pop a bag in your glass, brew for a minimum of five minutes (overnight if you have the time!), add ice and you're all set.

As a coffee lover, here at Presto Coffee we want to share with you one of our favourite methods by adding a touch of cinnamon to your coffee. If your reading this we assume you must have tried to spice things up to come up with a new flavour, we all have. It all depends on what you are into reality, most of us have gone on this adventure and we are talking about cream, milk, sugar, literally everything we can get our hands-on. While we may have tried a lot of things to improve and come up with a really new nice flavour, there is one additive you may have missed and should try out, Cinnamon.

Non-dairy milks are certainly beginning to make their mark on the world. Whether you’re vegan,  lactose intolerant, or simply want to make some healthier choices in life, alt milks are the way to go.  And who rules them all? Oat milk! 

The year is 1943. In a popular restaurant at the Foynes Fying Boat Airbase, in County Limerick, Joe Sheridan, the head chef, is faced with a pack of disgruntled passengers. Their Atlantic flight was delayed due to stormy weather. Sheridan tops up their coffees with a healthy dose of whiskey… and brown sugar… and whipped cream to soothe their nerves. The world's first Irish coffee.

To celebrate Easter weekend, we thought we’d share our delicious mocha recipe. Naturally, when it comes to seasonal recipes we like to add a little coffee flavoured twist. This time, we’re creating Mocha Hot Cross Buns. That’s right, coffee and chocolate - a match made in heaven. To make these Spring favourites, we’ve used our brand new instant Colombian instant coffee. The mix of micro-ground coffee and freeze-dried instant coffee offers a deliciously well-rounded flavour. Perfect for incorporating in your bakes. 

First and foremost, choose your whiskey and coffee combination wisely (being coffee lovers here at Presto, we of course think of the latter is the most important ingredient!). In the same way that you might pair a really nice, pricey gin with a complimentary flavoured tonic, why cheat yourself by mixing together a chalk and cheese Irish coffee? 

Blue skies. Long days. Sumptuous sunshine. Who doesn’t long for those glorious summer mornings and sultry afternoons? 

Valentine’s day is just around the corner and unfortunately, it doesn’t look like wining and dining in a romantic candlelit restaurant is going to be an option this year. So we’ve been trying to think of ways to make this day a little more special than every other Sunday since the beginning of this year.  

The holiday season is well and truly upon us and with the year we've had, many of us are embracing the seasonal escapism with open arms. Despite hearing numerous accounts of being told that this year Christmas may feel a little different, there are many ways to enjoy the festive season in its full glory. One of those includes food and drink, oh how glad we are for a delicious turkey roast or a warm cup of coffee with festive spice this year!
