It's actually black coffee (black coffee).

It is said that the name americano was first used by the Italians to run on Americans, "do you want water to drink coffee?"

three. Black Coffee black coffee

Therefore, now in order to distinguish it from American coffee, the coffee brewed directly with coffee beans and coffee powder is called black coffee.

four. Latte latte

Add some milk to the espresso and it becomes a latte.

The full name should be "coffee latte" (coffee latte), because latte means "milk" in Italian.

Therefore, when many people go to Starbucks for the first time, they think that "black tea latte" is black tea-flavored coffee, only to find that it is a cup of milk tea.

It is said that there is also a kind of milk coffee that is very similar to a latte, called mellow white or plain white coffee (flat white). Basically, it is to add less milk and better understand the original flavor of the coffee.

five. Au Lait Olei

A kind of coffee from France. Ole, like a latte, is a kind of coffee with milk. However, it is not made of Italian coffee, but with ordinary black coffee with milk, so the taste is not so strong.

Like a latte, au lait is an acronym.

The full name is coffee au lait (Ole Coffee)

Au lait means "and milk" in French.

six. Coffee Mocha/Mocha mocha coffee / mocha

Dry / black cappuccino: add less milk than regular cappuccino.

eight. Macchiato Macchiato

If you do not add milk to the espresso, but directly add a layer of milk foam, it will become macchiato.

Now the more popular way to drink is to sprinkle something on top of macchiato.

For example, caramel (caramel), which becomes caramel caramel macchiato.

Macchiato is usually packed in a glass.

However, now many macchids in China are actually lattes and milk is poured under the espresso.

Besides,

Now CostaCoffee also has a common kind of coffee called:

Cotadot (Cortado)

It's essentially a mini version of Macchiato.

nine. Affogato Avjiadu

The word means "inundated" in Italian.

The so-called Avjiado is an espresso plus an ice cream with two sides packed separately and hot espresso poured on the ice cream when eating.

Ice cream is usually served in a small glass, while espresso is served in a ceramic cup with a small mouth. Italians like to use it as dessert very much.

The popular flavors of ice cream are:

Vanilla (vanilla), mocha, mint (peppermint).

ten. Irish Coffee Irish Coffee

Irish coffee is mixed with something magical:

Irish Whiskey (whiskey)

And a layer of cream on top.

Well, it's with wine, so KFC's Irish Snow Top Coffee is not Irish coffee.

eleven. Coffee Freddo Fredo

The name Fredo sounds mysterious, but in fact it has a more approachable name:

Iced coffee (iced coffee)

It's actually chilled sweet espresso, served in a long glass, usually with ice.

twelve. Espresso Romano Romano espresso

Don't try easily, don't drink with a bad heart, don't drink if you have stomach trouble, and don't drink if you can't sleep; a cup can keep you high forever.
