The past few months have seen many food and drink experiments start from the kitchens of home cooks. From different-flavored pandesal to Pancit Canton recipes, Filipinos’ culinary creativity is endless.
We’ve even found ways to amp up simple, everyday drinks, such as coffee. And it’s time to retire those mixing bowls and whisks for your dalgona, because there’s a new way to enjoy your daily cup of caffeine.

Despite being stuck at home because of COVID-19, many of us are still pretty busy. There’s work to do, online classes to attend, and errands to run, so we sometimes need something to get ourselves going at the beginning of the day.
A popular choice for a boost of energy is a caffeine fix. From 3-in-1 to brewed, we all have preferred ways of having our coffee. And for Filipino Teerinz Pesquera, he likes his brew hand-crafted, with layers.
He even managed to get 7 different layers into a single cup of coffee. Though you canalmost feel the caffeine-induced palpitations this might cause through your screen, it makes for an aesthetically pleasing cup of joe.
While Pesquera made his 7-layered coffee by chance, we can try out this simple recipe for three-layered coffee from Food and hope we’re as lucky as he was. If anything, a little flair to our morning drink that’s usually single-colored won’t hurt.
Alternatively, if you’re an aspiring coffee connoisseur with fancy coffee-making equipment and want to learn how to make caramel macchiato and cafe mocha, you can follow Pesquera’s Youtube tutorial on his channel, What’s Up With The P’s. In this video, he grinds his own beans and prepares his espresso himself, and even has a frother for his milk.

Aside from the 7-layered coffee that caught people’s attention, Pesquera’s post also went viral because of his double-walled glass that perfectly showed off his beautiful cup of coffee.
Netizens in the comments were quick to find links to where you can purchase these glasses that cost from P299 to P399 (~USD6.10-8.15) depending on the size, so that you can make your own pretty glasses of coffee.
While going out for your usual coffee runs is still risky these days, you can save money over the long run by trying different ways of making your own coffee at home. Whether it’s with this recipe or another, you might just discover your inner barista.
