    Specific Purpose:

    To inform my classmates of specific types of coffee drinks from around the world.

    Introduction:

    Do you ever just need something really warm to drink? Have you ever been so sleepy that you couldn’t keep your eyes open without help? Did you know that according to Consumer Reports that about 62% of us drink coffee every day? As a daily coffee drinker, I can attest to wanting and needing to drink coffee every day to keep away the awful caffeine headache. Coffee is not just a beverage drank here in the United States; people all around the world drink billions of cups of coffee every day. There are many different kinds of coffee drinks out there.

    Thesis/Preview:

    According to RoastyCoffee.com there are over 43 different types of coffee drinks from all around the world. These drinks include: Turkish Coffee, Caffè Crema, and Irish Coffee

    I. Turkish Coffee is one of the oldest methods for preparing coffee.

    A. Turkish coffee was first introduced to the Ottoman Empire in 1543 from Yemen.

    1. While being introduced in Istanbul, a new method of preparing coffee was established.

    2. The coffee beans were roasted over a fire, finely grounded, and then boiled into water.

    B. TheSpruceEats.com explains that Turkish coffee is named for its special brewing method.

    1. Turkish coffee traditional not sweetened, but if it sweetened the sugar is added before the boiling.

    2. Also, it must be served with foam on the top.

    Transition:

    Coffee beverages can be named for their preparation style like Turkish coffee, but also for their appearance like caffe crema.

    I. Caffè crema is one of the first types of espresso drinks.

    A. It gained popularity and became primarily served in Switzerland and Northern Italy in the mid 20th century.

    1. It is a long espresso meaning there is more water than regular espresso.

    2. Caffè crema has 180ml to 240ml of water compared to the 25ml of water normally used to make espresso.

    B. Despite its name, Caffè crema does not contain any form of cream or dairy.

    1. According to Jonathan Morris, researcher and author of The Cappuccino Conquests exhibit, the Gaggia Classica machine of 1948 revolutionized espresso by creating this drink.

    2. The pressure of the machine created a creamy foam at the top of the espresso resulting in the name Caffè crema.

    Transition:

    Classic coffee and espresso drinks are popular and enjoyed around the world, but so are cocktail styled coffee beverages.

    II. Irish Coffee is a cocktail twist on traditional coffee.

    A. According to Good Food Ireland, this coffee cocktail was first created by a chef named Joe Sheridan.

    1. Sheridan created Irish coffee in the 1940’s at Foynes’ Airport; he was looking for ways to keep passengers warm while their planes were being refueled.

    2. The first Irish coffee was served to American flyers; they asked, “Is this Brazilian coffee?”, in which, Sheridan replied, “no it’s Irish Coffee.”

    B. Sheridan mixed black coffee with whiskey and topped it with whipped cream.

    1. Irish coffee of today is a mixture of whiskey, sugar, and black coffee with a topping of whipped cream.

    2. Today people all over the world are drinking Irish coffee to keep them warm.

    Conclusion:

    Coffee is one of the most popular beverages drank around the world every day. According to The National Coffee Association in 2010 Americans drank on average 3.1 cups of coffee a day, and the average cup size is 9 oz. This means that on average Americans are drinking 27.9 oz of coffee per day. Turkish coffee, Caffe crema, and Irish coffee are three types of coffee beverages that are being drank every day.
