The key difference lies in its foundation. A Red Eye blends approximately eight ounces of brewed drip coffee with a standard shot of espresso. This combination results in a potent concoction that packs more of a punch than your average Americano, boasting an additional 80 to 100 milligrams of caffeine.

Jon Freihofer, Director of Coffee Services at Joe Coffee Company in New York, recommends using the same coffee beans for both the espresso shot and drip coffee to achieve a harmonious flavor profile. While this might pose a challenge when ordering at a café, where different roasts are typically used for espresso and brewed coffee, it ensures a smoother and more expressive taste experience at home.

When it comes to choosing between a Red Eye and an Americano, it all comes down to personal preference, including flavor profile and caffeine sensitivity. If you’re craving a nuanced taste sensation, Freihofer suggests going for a concentrated five-ounce Americano. However, if you prefer a slightly bolder flavor and don’t mind the extra caffeine kick, the Red Eye might be your cup of choice.

Additionally, the Red Eye tends to have a slightly fuller body compared to the lighter Americano, which can be appealing to those who enjoy a bit more of a kick in their coffee. As Freihofer explains, the espresso in an Americano becomes even more balanced as its flavors are softened by dilution.

Regardless of your preference, one thing remains certain: that feel of a strong espresso kick is undeniable. Whether you’re fueling a late-night study session or simply in need of a midday pick-me-up, the Red Eye coffee is a classic choice that never fails to deliver.

Yes, you heard it right! You can now relish a cup of tea brought straight out of your favorite Netflix show, Bridgerton, in one of the most regal hotels in London. The Lanesborough Hotel has started a limited-edition Bridgerton tea service from the fourth of May. Imagine experiencing the royal setting with mesmerizing natural lights from the big glass windows with glamorous chandeliers hanging from the roof. Now, think of actually encountering the dream in real life. All you need is to book the service taking place in the hotel’s lavish dining room.

Guests will be offered a variety of Bridgerton-inspired teas, including the remarkable Queen Charlotte blend. It will be made from flowers and black tea blended together, served with sweet fruits and rose petals alongside, making it a wonderful afternoon treat.

Or, they can simply order the regular black, green, or herbal teas available, while appreciating London’s luxurious atmosphere. Apart from the extravaganza dining experience, the 5-star hotel’s head pastry chef, Salvatore Mungiovino, has curated a menu of four delicious treats from the show.

Among sandwiches, cream, jam, and homemade scones, you can have a bite of ‘Your Majesty’ cake. It is a strawberry-scented crème bavaroise with an orange gel, red chocolate sprayed on top, and an almond base. Having the ‘King George Dreams of Venus’ sweet, made of 54% chocolate mousse, coca sable, and jasmine-infused dark chocolate ganache, varnished with stars, would certainly make up for a lifetime event. Another item on the menu entails the ‘Lady Violet’ chocolate bavaroise with mango compote and lime whipped cream. Talking about the ‘Danbury Delight,’ a mouth-watering dessert made with berriolette pistachio gateaux and vanilla whipped ganache, would truly bring out the colors of the Bridergton show.
