COFFEE PAIRINGS
COFFEE BRUNCH
Pairing your coffee with morning flavors
Pairing guide • 5 min read
The sommelier pairs wine with dishes. The barista can pair coffee with the meal’s flavors. The right coffee at the right time, with the right food: it’s an experience few have had the chance to enjoy. We give you the keys.
THE PRINCIPLE
COMPLEMENTARITY OR CONTRAST
The two main pairing logics
Complementarity
A caramel coffee with a buttery pastry. A fruity coffee with raspberry jam. We amplify the shared notes.
The contrast
An intense espresso with a very sweet cheesecake. The coffee’s bitterness balances the sweetness. Like red wine with cheese: opposites attract.
