What's the difference between latte and mocha? what's the difference between latte and mocha?

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

The standard latte, cappuccino and mocha are all made of espresso (espresso), plus steam milk (steamed milk) and milk bubbles heated by steam nozzles. The difference between the three is the ratio of coffee to milk and the addition of hot chocolate to mocha.

The practice of adding milk to black coffee was first invented by Franz George Kolschitsky of Vienna in 1683. The Ottoman Turkish Empire, which was defeated at that time, left a batch of coffee beans in Vienna, making coffee gradually popular in this European city. However, the taste of black coffee is so bitter that many people are not used to it. In order to make the coffee more close to the taste of the general public, Kochsky tried to add milk to the coffee to create a warmer taste and less irritation to the stomach. His cafe is very popular, and this coffee practice continues to this day.

Latte: milk is the main character

Latte means milk in Italian. You can tell from the name that milk is the protagonist in latte. The standard ratio is 1x6 espresso, 4hammer6 steamed milk, 1hammer6 milk bubbles, plus hazelnut, cinnamon, vanilla and other flavors. Because of the high proportion of milk and its soft taste, it can even be used as dessert in some European restaurants. In addition, all kinds of beautiful flowers on the surface of coffee is also an art worth appreciating.

What's the difference between steamed milk and foam? Both are the result of heating milk with high-temperature steam from the steam nozzle on the coffee machine. Steamed milk warms up for a shorter time and enters fewer bubbles, increasing its volume by only about 1 tick 3, and there are no bubbles on the surface; milk bubbles need to be pumped into a large amount of air to create uniform bubbles, which will be about twice the volume.

Lattes vary from country to country. American lattes only add milk foam, Italian lattes only add milk, and European lattes (also known as coffee Caf é au lait, which means coffee and milk) are poured into the cup at the same time to mix the two evenly.

The ratio of coffee to milk in the latte is 1:8:1, so it can be said to be a burden-free cup of coffee, can drink the warmth of milk, like a cup of milk coffee, but drink milk with coffee flavor.

Mocha

In fact, we often talk about two kinds of mocha coffee.

The first is the fancy coffee we often drink, which is made of Espresso and hot milk, chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

The second is because in the 15th century, the Yemeni Mocha was an important port for Middle Eastern countries to export near the Red Sea. At that time, as long as the coffee was concentrated in the port of Mocha and then exported to the African coffee, it was collectively referred to as mocha coffee. Later, although the new port replaced the status of the port of Mocha, the origin of coffee in the period of the port of Mocha was preserved, and the coffee beans produced by these areas were still called mocha coffee.

As for why there is a double name, some researchers believe that mocha is a kind of "chocolate-colored" coffee, and later borrowed the name mocha when it was invented to add chocolate sauce to coffee.

Mocha, as fancy coffee, tastes sweet and is suitable for women and people who are afraid of heavy caffeine.

Mocha is diluted with a lot of milk, is a deformation of coffee, can be said to be the most fancy kind of espresso, which can add cinnamon, cocoa powder, is no longer a simple coffee, less foam than latte, replaced by milk, whipped cream and chocolate.
