An amazing coffee world "chicken soup": the essential difference between all coffee

Afternoon cafe, there is a kind of innate ease, coffee fragrance accompanied by fine noise, warm and simple. In the face of all kinds of coffee, can you tell them apart?

[1] espresso / Italian coffee / Espresso

Espresso is an Italian word that refers to a strong coffee that is rapidly extracted by a coffee machine in a short period of time. It is the basis of almost all fancy coffee and a must-have in cafes all over the world. Espresso is a very small cup, usually only about 30 milliliters, the taste is very bitter, the surface is floating with a thick layer of oil, will be with a cup of water, you can choose to add sugar.

The pressurized vapor passes directly through the coffee powder, and the resulting liquid is called espresso. It belongs to pure coffee and is the base of other coffee drinks.

[II] American coffee / Americano

The "coffee of the day" in many cafes is actually American coffee, which is usually the cheapest on the cafe menu. To put it bluntly, American coffee is a small cup of Esprssso mixed with more than half a cup of boiled water, and some cafes use drip coffee pots to brew. American coffee is light in taste, light in color, slightly sour and slightly bitter, and usually serves milk and sugar in cafes. If the waiter gives you cream, you might as well ask for fresh milk.

[3] latte / Latte

Latte is a classic mixture of Espresso and milk. A small amount of Espresso is poured into the bottom of the cup, and then a lot of milk is added. The top of the latte is a thick layer of foam. Skilled baristas will pull out a variety of patterns on the foam. There is a kind of "Ole coffee" in France, which is almost a national drink, much like a latte, except that milk and coffee are poured into the cup at the same time. Lattes are very popular in Chinese cafes with moderate prices and high performance-to-price ratio. A good latte has a good taste of coffee and milk, while a bad one may be like drinking a cup of hot milk with coffee flavor.

[IV] Cappuccino / Cappuccino

There is a lyrics "Love is like Cappuccino, thick nostalgia foam", let everyone know the characteristics of this kind of coffee-foam. Cappuccino and latte have the same ingredients as Espresso+ milk + milk foam, except that there are more cappuccino milk bubbles than milk, and lattes have more milk than milk bubbles. Cappuccinos of the same price are usually smaller than lattes, but the coffee is more intense. The collision of dense milk foam and bitter coffee is also loved by a large number of customers, especially girls.

[v] Mocha / Caffe Mocha

The ingredients of mocha are relatively complex. On the basis of Espresso and milk, there is chocolate sauce, not foam at the top, but whipped cream, often squeezed with chocolate sauce, or sprinkled with cocoa powder and cinnamon powder. Because "rich in content", the price is usually higher, but also relatively large cups. Both chocolate and cream taste sweet, so mocha coffee is an example of the combination of bitterness and sweetness.

[VI] Macchiato / Macchiato

Macchiato is also translated by many cafes as "Macchiato", which simply means scooping a few spoonfuls of milk foam into a cup of Espresso. The coffee is still strong, and you can enjoy the delicate milk foam. We often hear "caramel macchiato", which is said to be original by adding vanilla syrup to the milk, mixing it with Espresso coffee, and then covering the milk foam with a layer of caramel.
