Strong black coffee

Strong black coffee is a beverage prepared from roasted coffee beans, ground and extracted with hot water, resulting in an intense, aromatic liquid with a deep flavor. This type of coffee is characterized by its high concentration, which gives it a robust body and a pronounced bitterness, ideal for those who prefer to be stimulated by a vigorous infusion without any additives.

Coffee originates from ancient Ethiopia, although its cultivation and consumption have spread throughout the world, being especially popular in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. In the culinary context, strong black coffee is used both as a beverage to accompany meals and as an ingredient in preparations such as desserts, sauces, or marinades, contributing its characteristic deep flavor and aroma.

Properties: Strong black coffee is known for its caffeine content, a natural stimulant that helps increase concentration and alertness. Furthermore, it contains antioxidants that contribute to cellular protection and may have benefits for cardiovascular health. It is low in calories when consumed without sugar or milk.

In Hispanic American countries, strong black coffee is also known by several synonyms, depending on the region, such as café solo, café cargado, café espresso (when referring to the Italian preparation with a higher concentration), or simply negro. In some areas, the term café puro is used to emphasize that it is served without milk or sugar.
