Coffee Drinks MOC¶

Coffee drinks span a broad spectrum from simple black coffee to complex espresso-based creations with milk, flavourings, and distinctive regional traditions. All are built on a few core bases — brewed coffee, espresso, milk, and water — varied primarily by ratio, texture, temperature, and presentation. This MOC maps the complete drinks landscape across espresso-based, milk-based, cold, and regional categories.
