Coffee and Food: The Best Pairings for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
by Sean Spencer on Apr 20, 2023
Introduction
I love coffee, and I love food. So it would make sense that I'd want them to be friends, too. But what makes sense doesn't always happen: sometimes you have to push your favorite things together until they make a new favorite thing. That's why I've decided to write this guide on the best ways to pair coffee and food—because I know there are so many options!
Breakfast
The morning is the best time to drink coffee, and breakfast is the ideal meal to enjoy it with. The flavors of coffee and food pair well together because they both have a strong taste that can stand up to each other. It's also important that you don't overdo it on either beverage or food: too much caffeine will make you jittery; too much sugar can cause a crash later in the day.
Here are some great pairings for breakfast:
Lunch
Lunch is a great time to enjoy a cup of coffee. The caffeine can help you stay alert and focused during the day, and it pairs well with sandwiches, salads, and other light meals. Coffee can be a good alternative to alcohol at lunch because it won't make you feel sleepy or tipsy when you need to get back to work.
Dinner
- Coffee and red wine: A great pairing for a dinner date, or when you're trying to impress someone at the office.
- Coffee and whiskey: This one's good for an evening of watching sports or playing poker with your buddies. It's also great if you want to get up early in the morning (because you'll be asleep).
- Coffee and beer: A classic combo that never goes out of style, especially if you're eating pizza while drinking it!
- Coffee with chocolate: The perfect dessert drink--or breakfast? You decide!
- Coffee with cheese: If this doesn't make sense right now, just give us some time--we'll explain later on in our article...
Takeaway:
Coffee is a versatile beverage that can be paired with any meal of the day. Whether you're eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner, coffee will complement any type of food and make it taste better!
