Black coffee is a beverage prepared from the roasted and ground beans of the Coffea plant. It is characterized by its dark color and intense flavor, without the addition of milk, cream, or sugar, which highlights its natural aroma and its bitter or slightly acidic notes depending on its origin and roast type.
Coffee originated in the regions of Ethiopia and Yemen, from where it spread to Latin America, the Caribbean, and other parts of the world. Today, countries such as Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, and Guatemala are recognized for the quality of their beans used in the preparation of black coffee.
Properties: Black coffee is known for its caffeine content, a natural stimulant that improves concentration and alertness. It also contains antioxidants that help combat cellular aging and may boost metabolism. Although moderate consumption can provide benefits, it is important to avoid excess to prevent negative effects such as irritability or insomnia.
In different regions of Latin America, black coffee is known by various names or synonyms, such as café solo, tinto (especially in Colombia), café americano (when it is more diluted), or simply negro.
