    EP06 - What is Cortado?
    Oct 20 2024
    On the 2 Kings Coffee Pod, host Michale devoted the episode to the cortado, an espresso and milk blend in a one-to-one ratio. He explained that a cortado differs from other coffees like lattes and flat whites due to its perfect balance of espresso and milk.

    A comparison was made with the globally popular cappuccino, describing a cappuccino as a sweet, foamy beverage with some optional toppings, whereas a cortado is a more robust and straightforward drink.
    He further clarified that despite these differences, both drinks contain the same caffeine content.

    Finally, Michale provided a simple cortado recipe, emphasizing the importance of the harmony of flavors over, say, decorative latte art.

    EP05 - Does Light Roast Coffee Have More Caffeine Than Dark Roast
    Oct 10 2024
    In this episode of 2 Kings Coffee Pod, Michale discusses the differences between light and dark roast coffee, specifically focusing on their distinct flavors and caffeine content. Michale clarifies that light roast coffee, roasted briefly at lower temperatures, offers a milder flavor and higher caffeine content due to the shorter roasting time.

    On the other hand, dark roast coffee undergoes a longer roasting process that results in a bolder taste and slightly reduced caffeine content. The host emphasizes that while light roast coffee contains slightly more caffeine, the difference is not significant enough to affect one's typical caffeine intake and, ultimately, the preference between light and dark roasts should be based more on individual flavor preference than caffeine content.
