Raf coffee

Raf Coffee is a popular beverage originating from Russia. It is named after Rafael Timerbaev, who is credited with its invention. Raf Coffee is a unique blend of espresso, cream, and vanilla sugar, which is then steamed together until it forms a thick, creamy consistency.

History

Raf Coffee was first created in the late 1990s in Moscow, Russia. The drink was named after Rafael Timerbaev, a regular customer at the Coffee Bean, a popular coffee shop in Moscow. Rafael would often request a special blend of coffee, which included espresso, cream, and vanilla sugar. The baristas would steam these ingredients together, creating a unique and flavorful drink. This special blend soon became popular among other customers, and it was named Raf Coffee in honor of its original consumer.

Preparation

The preparation of Raf Coffee involves a specific process to achieve its distinctive taste and texture. First, a shot of espresso is prepared using an espresso machine. Vanilla sugar is then added to the espresso. The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to personal preference, but the traditional recipe calls for one teaspoon.

Next, cream is added to the mixture. The cream should be cold and have a high fat content to achieve the desired creamy texture. The mixture of espresso, vanilla sugar, and cream is then steamed together until it reaches a temperature of 60-70 degrees Celsius. The steaming process allows the flavors to blend together and creates the thick, creamy consistency that Raf Coffee is known for.

Popularity

Raf Coffee has gained popularity not only in Russia but also in other parts of the world. It is often served in coffee shops that offer Russian-style coffee. The unique flavor and creamy texture of Raf Coffee have made it a favorite among coffee enthusiasts.
