Espresso is good, but not everyone can bear it, especially Asians will choose milky coffee with milk, which is called espresso-based coffee. I believe many people will order lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, caramel macchiato and other drinks when they enter the cafe, but many people don't know the difference between them, so let's look through the Italian Coffee genealogy.

Campbell Blue (Con Panna): espresso with a hat

Formula: 2 oz espresso + 4 oz whipped cream

Add the right amount of whipped cream to the espresso to easily finish a cup of Campbell blue. The white whipped cream floats gently on the dark coffee, just like a white lotus flower that comes out of the mud and is not dyed.

Macchiato: a small cappuccino

Formula: 2 ounces of espresso + a small amount of milk foam

Macchiato means "imprint" in Italian. As the name suggests, its taste can leave sweet memories for the taste buds just like the name. Macchiato is more feminine and looks like a miniature version of a cappuccino. Macchiato's weight is 1/3 of that of cappuccino, and macchiato is espresso with a layer of milk foam and no milk. when drinking, the taste of espresso will not be diluted, and the smell of milk only stops on your lips. This kind of coffee is the most popular espresso today. Many young cafes like to use this coffee to change styles, such as caramel macchiato, but in fact, it has been silently increased several times, and the taste has been lightened a lot. It's just that the beautiful name is still used.

Caramel Caramel Macchiato: sweet imprint

Formula: 2 oz espresso + 4 oz hot milk + 4 oz syrup + caramel

Caramel macchiato has a reputation of "sweet imprint", vanilla syrup and slippery hot milk, smooth milk foam on the surface, mellow espresso mixed with soft caramel sauce, sweet and mellow macchiato has become a favorite coffee for women in the city.

Cappuccino: doubly affectionate

Formula: 2 oz espresso + 2 oz steamed milk + 2 oz foam

A cappuccino is made by mixing the same amount of espresso and steamed milk. At this time, the color of coffee is like a cappuccino monk with a turban over a dark brown coat, hence the name. The traditional cappuccino is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foamed milk and sprinkled with small particles of cinnamon powder. The traditional pattern of cappuccino is a heart, which is not as rich as a latte because there is less milk, hence the name "Love is Cappuccino."

Latte: milk & Coffee

Formula: 2 oz espresso + 10 oz warm milk + 0.5 oz foam

"latte" means "milk" in Italian, and "caff è latte" is what we call a latte. The bottom of the latte is espresso, the middle is milk heated to 60-65 degrees C, and the top layer is cold milk foam of no more than half a millimeter. The more classic drawing pattern of a latte is a leaf or a "blooming heart". Because there is more milk, the latte can pull out a variety of rich patterns. If you order a cappuccino, the result is a cup of milk coffee with rich patterns. Sorry, the barista turned the cappuccino into a latte.

Caf è Breve: semi-latte

Formula: 2 oz espresso + 10 oz milk + 10 oz cream + a small amount of milk foam

Breivie is very much like a latte. It is also an espresso with milk. The difference is that two portions of milk are replaced with milk and cream. Sometimes a little more milk foam is added, hence the name "half latte". Most of the patterns shown by Brevie are "bubbling hearts." because half of the milk is replaced with cream, there is no rich pattern, and because of the addition of cream, the color of the coffee is white.

Caff è Mocha: passionate Chocolate

Formula: espresso 2 oz + chocolate syrup 1 oz + hot milk 4 oz + milk foam

Mocha coffee is also paraphrased as "Arabian quality Coffee", which means "Chocolate Coffee" in English. It is a variety of latte. It is usually based on espresso, mixed with hot milk and chocolate syrup, with a layer of milk foam and chocolate powder or syrup on the surface. It has the highest sugar content of all the coffee. The name mocha comes from Yemen, an area near the Red Sea. There is a small town called Mocha. This place monopolized the export of coffee in the fifteenth century, which had a particular impact on the coffee trade sold to the Arabian Peninsula. Mocha is also a chocolate-colored coffee bean, a mocha from Yemen, which makes people associate coffee with chocolate and develops a chocolate espresso drink.

Flat white: Australian White

Formula: 2 oz espresso + 4 oz hot milk + micro foam

There are always disputes between Australians and New Zealanders about the origin of plain white coffee. It is said that Pingbai originated in Australia in the 1970s and was further developed in New Zealand in the 1980s, making it a coffee unique to Australians. But no matter where it comes from, flat white coffee is an Italian coffee, a variant of cappuccino. Many people or cafes translate atwhite into "white coffee", which I think is not accurate. Malaysian white coffee is the real white coffee, and it is more accurate to call it "plain white" here, because its shape is as flat as sea level. Plain White Coffee uses the method of extracting double concentrated short shot, that is, the first 15 seconds of double espresso, that is, ristretto. Plain white coffee should be filled with micro-foam milk in double espresso, which requires high quality of milk foam. This kind of foam taste is very delicate, smooth, shiny appearance, usually hit a "spot" on the smooth surface of coffee, so it is called "plain white".

American (Americano): great American

Formula: 2 oz espresso + 3 oz hot water

"is it bitter? Then mix it with water and ice and drink it as a coke. "I feel that it is with this attitude that the Italians invented American coffee, which is also in line with the American personality, ── happiness is the most important. Double espresso with hot water is American coffee, and with some ice cubes, it is a very popular "iced American coffee". Of course, American coffee here refers to Italian American coffee, and the real American coffee in the United States is actually "Didi filter pot, Didi"!
