What is "white coffee"?

This is generally a proprietary coffee that a few coffee shops have started to sell. The general consensus is that it is seriously under roasted coffee. The advertising hype that goes with it would agree with this assumption although the people selling this product will not say anything about how it is made. Because un/bairly roasted beans are extremely hard a special grinder is required to grind the coffee.

One of the common claims about white coffee is that it is higher in caffeine than normal coffee. Coffee loses caffeine by volume as it is roasted so it probably does have more caffeine by volume. By weight caffeine content actually goes up so the caffeine content by weight is probably lower. One theory that has been proposed (but once again this is a gauess and probably varies from shop to shop) is that the blend may be all or mostly robusta to boost teh caffeine.

In Australia a white coffee or a "flat white" can be any number of different espresso and milk of coffee and milk drinks.

In the US and UK you will from time to time hear coffee with milk or cream referred to as white coffee.

White coffee can also refer to a cup of instant with a dash of cold milk.

White Coffee

The white coffee I drink at Perk central is stronger than the regular coffee and it has a nutty flavor to it. Yesterday, the server said they roasted the white coffee a little more than usually so it would have more of a kick. I have the white coffee in my white mocha on ice drink. It just looks like milk but they do put a lot of ice in their drinks which I like.

If they roast it longer it

If they roast it longer it loses caffeine. He probably meant roasted for a shorter time.

White Coffee

I love White Coffee! I hate the taste of regular coffee, so White Coffee is great for me. My typical drink if a place does not have White Coffee is: White Chocolate Vanilla Mocha Non-Fat No Whip. I can still taste the coffee, but it is the closest I can come to White Coffee if they do not have it. A White Coffee White Chocolate Vanilla Mocha is like drinking sweetened milk. It reminds me of the milk after you have eaten the Lucky Charms. Love it!

To Joe and other advertisers

Joe and other advertisers,

I appreciate that you are trying to get your commercial message about your product out but it is inappropriate to continue posting commercial messages to the message sections. With the exception of the paid advertising around the border of the site there is no advertising allowed. I have replied to one of your messages before letting you know this.

Put more bluntly if you want to use this side as a sales tool buy Google Advertising space. I think there is even a way to request inclusion on specific web sites. In the mean time any messages posted by an advertiser or referring to an advertiser in a suspicious way will be deleted the same way they are in every other message board on this site.

Please do not continue to abuse the comments. Since there seems to be interest, I would love for one of the white coffee vendors to buy ad space so I and other interested parties could purchase this coffee but I will not allow spam in the comments section.

I understand. Sorry. I

I understand. Sorry. I notice more advertising farther down the page. Or was it just me you were mad about?

RE I understand. Sorry

Thanks Joe. You seem to be a stand up guy. Best of luck.

I got that other one now also.

Trying it now

I'm trying a cup right now. My first impression is the color. It looks like black tea. The aroma is nutty and maybe a little sweet. The first sip taste similar to green tea with roasted rice. It's not a bad flavor just different. I like it but its mostly hype and I don't think I'll have it again. It's not worth the cost over something that is pretty unextrodinary.

WOW! Thanks for your article,

WOW! Thanks for your article, next time, white coffee will be my choice. But I think iit is better to buy popular blends that move fast, while in a supermarket vacuum packaged containers with expiration date are your best bet although all canned coffee will be stale to some extent. It should be noted that in order to vacuum pack coffee industrial coffee producers actually let the coffee sit before it is packed. As soon as coffee is roasted it starts to release CO2 in a process called outgassing. This actually helps to protect the bean from staling. Unfortunately for the people vacuum packing coffee or putting coffee in tins this also will inflate the bags. This outgassing is the reason that you will see one way valves on some coffee bags. These valves allow the CO2 to escape while keeping oxygen out of the bag. I now do small business on sexy lingerie , but I really like drink coffee, when very business trip time, I never forget my coffee with some sugar to my hotel. I do not know its a bad habit or a good one. But can no change.

What I have heard about white coffee is...

..that one shot of the white espresso has triple the amount of caffeine that regular espresso has. It also has less of the acidity that reg coffee has and doesn't upset your stomach.

The other benefit of it is if you don't like the taste of coffee, white coffee is perfect since you could put it into a white or dark mocha and you won't taste it. It simply tastes like a hot chocolate! I've picked these "facts" up from the baristas who work in the cafes that serve the white coffee.

I have been drinking white coffee whenever I can get my hands on it for the past couple of years and love it. I also got my non-coffee-drinking boyfriend started onto coffee with it and slowly moved him over to regular espresso..lol.

I am a barista myself and have been in the coffee business for years so of course I was extremely interested in this product. Still looking to find a site that has concrete facts about it though!
