Good morning! There’s no better way to start the day than a strong cup of coffee. Though a cup of black coffee is always a reliable choice, there are so many variations of caffeine intake that differ from a regular cup of joe. The list of hot and cold beverages can seem extensive, and a bit overwhelming, but we are here to make that easier! Here is a breakdown of your favorite coffee beverages, and how to make them. 

Drip Coffee: Drip coffee is your regular black coffee! It can also be referred to as “filter coffee” as the hot water passes through a coffee filter and brews with the coffee grounds. You can make drip coffee in a pot or Keurig, as it’s quick and can be altered to taste stronger or weaker based on flavor palette.  

Cold Brew: Cold Brew is much like coffee, but has a stronger and smoother flavor that many people tend to prefer. To make cold brew is simple! Take coarse coffee grounds and put them in a mason bar. Pour cold water over your grounds (depending on your flavor palette, some people like a 3-1 ratio of water to grounds or a 4-1 ratio of water to grounds). Leave your cold brew in the fridge for 24 hours and strain your grounds once the flavor is to your liking.

Check out our Maple-Pumpkin Cold Brew!

Latte: If you’ve never made a latte, then it may seem a bit overwhelming, but don’t worry! Lattes are a simple coffee beverage that has two ingredients: espresso and milk. With the espresso at the bottom of your cup, froth your milk. A proper latte will have steamed milk and a light layer of foam on the top. Add a syrup of your liking to add a new depth of flavor 

Try making our White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Latte! 

Latte Macchiato: Much like a latte, a Latte Macchiato includes the two same ingredients: espresso and milk. Though the ingredients are the same, the process is slightly different. You will froth your milk and add it to your glass. Lastly, you will add your shot of espresso to the top and watch as the espresso slowly combines into the milk.  

Cappuccino: If you ever order a cappuccino and are shocked that it’s so light in weight, don’t be alarmed! Unlike lattes which are milk heavy, cappuccinos are light in weight because the cup is primarily frothy milk. This beverage is filled with the airy foam that your milk frother will create, and generally it’s easier to extract the foam with a spoon 

Mocha: Much like a latte, a mocha is the same concept with the acceptation of added chocolate syrup. In your cup, add your hot espresso and your desired amount of mocha syrup. Combine the chocolate into the hot espresso by swirling them together then top off your drink with a layer of smooth foamy milk! 

Check out our Mocha-Almond Meringue Cake!

Red Eye: Want an extra jolt of caffeine in the morning? Try a red eye! This drink is purely caffeine as it’s a layer of black coffee and a shot of espresso. The ratio of drip coffee to espresso is completely determined by what you prefer. 

Americano: Lastly, the americano! This drink is simple as it requires two ingredients: espresso and water. You read it right! An americano is a simple beverage of an espresso shot topped with hot water. This beverage tends to replicate drip coffee and it’s a tame way of drinking your espresso if the flavor is too strong for you. 

With this list in mind, elevate your morning coffee game and take on the day . . caffeinated!  Shop Price Chopper/Makret 32 for all of your coffee needs!

October 12th is National Farmer’s Day! We are grateful for all farmers – big and small, especially our local dairy farmers that ensure we have great quality fresh milk in our stores! Milk is a delicious choice; an affordable, convenient and sustainable drink that has been an important part of foodways around the world for thousands of years. We have some great products in our milk case and dairy aisle – see the insights below as we spotlight a few choices for you!

Good to know – Dairy farmers work 365 days per year, taking great care of their cows and ensuring the highest quality and safety standards from cow to cup. Dairy farmers are also continually driving the science and practices that make dairy farming sustainable in every way possible. Learn more about the many ways dairy farms are ensuring sustainability is top of mind! Dairy Farming Environmental Impact | American Dairy Association NE.

Chocolate Milk is a wellbeing champion! It is the most popular drink in schools, which is good news – it is the leading source of critical nutrients for millions of school children. Milk and chocolate milk fuel growth and hydration, offering a thirteen-nutrient package that includes protein for muscle growth, calcium and magnesium that build lifelong bone health, and Vitamin D and potassium, two nutrients that are often below intake recommendations for children and adults. Research shows that children who drink chocolate milk have higher overall nutrient intakes than those who do not, while keeping adding sugars to a minimum.

Lactose-free Milk – Some people have challenges digesting lactose, the natural sugar in milk. This is called Lactose Intolerance. It is not an allergic reaction – it is very manageable using real milk products that have reduced that lactose content, along with strategies that can even help restore lactose digestion over time. Lactose-free milk can be a game changer, ensuring those with this issue can still enjoy milk and get all its nutrition benefits. Dairy products that are naturally low in lactose, such as natural cheese and yogurts, can usually be enjoyed by those navigating this concern.

Explore our milk and dairy aisles, there is always something delicious and nutritious waiting there for you!  Scan the QR code for this amazing Pumpkin Pie In a Glass Smoothie recipe and join us as we celebrate #NationalFarmersDay!

Ultimate Guide to Tailgating

Fall has begun and football season is underway. That means the return of one of our favorite pastimes, tailgating! There’s nothing like getting together with your friends, enjoying good food and cold brews, and getting amped for the big game. It’s a tradition that will never get old! Here’s our guide to the ultimate tailgate.

When it comes to tailgating, there are plenty of great options. The first is a  sub & sandwich platter. If you’re tailgating with a decent-sized group, sandwich platters are easy. They can feed the group, and they are good for bringing on the go and eating outdoors. They are fantastic for making sure everyone gets a good amount of eats. Plus, the PICS potato chips you brought to snack on are a great compliment!

The next option, grilling. If you have a dedicated griller in the group bringing your setup to the tailgate is a fun idea. Burgers, hot dogs, steak, sausage linksand more are all great options for gameday. Don’t forget the burger buns and hot dog rolls!

Now, let’s talk snacks and sides. We mentioned PICS potato chips. How about tortilla chips to dip into salsa or guac? Convenient and easy for travel. Potato salad, macaroni salad, and pasta salad containers are also nice options. They go great with grilled meats or sandwiches, and the small containers are very portable.

Can’t forget some cold beer to wash down the delicious food. For tailgating, a nice light beer such as Bud Light is a strong choice. You’ll be able to enjoy some cold ones, while keeping your head in the game. Rather than being filled up on heavier beverages. As always, make sure to drink responsibly!

Don’t forget to tap into our Simple Done line of products for the paper plates, utensils, napkins, and cups you need for tailgating!

We’re excited to have football back to get back to tailgating. Don’t forget to stop by your local Price Chopper and Market 32 all season long for all of your essentials. Here’s to a fun, successful season of celebrating !
