Ordering coffee is not an easy task for people who drink less coffee. The dazzling variety of items on Menu makes people dizzy. What's the difference between them? Now let's take a look at how to distinguish the common types of coffee in the coffee shop, so that we don't have to ask the clerk to order food one by one.

What is black coffee?

Black coffee (Black Coffee) generally refers to all pure coffee extracted without adding any seasoning, and some people call it "black coffee". Different countries have different definitions of black coffee, for example, in Italy, it refers to a small cup of Espresso, while in the United States, it is a large cup of Americano, which is also widely known in China.

What is fancy coffee?

With espresso as the base, you can get a creative cup of coffee by adding milk, chocolate, cinnamon, etc. Lattes, cappuccinos and mochas, for example, are all derived from semantic concentration. the biggest difference is the ratio of coffee to milk, as well as the extra seasoning.

Latte Caff è Latte

Coffee lattes are often referred to as "Latte" for short, but the word Latte actually means milk in Italian, while Caff è latte is coffee with hot milk (Steamed Milk), so if you order Latte in Italy, you will only get a glass of milk.

When making coffee lattes, the proportion of steamed milk (Steamed Milk) is higher than that of espresso, and there are thin milk bubbles on the top. Because a large amount of strong milk is added, the bitterness and sour taste of coffee are much reduced, making coffee lattes a popular drink.

Coffee Ole ≠ latte

The French words lait and Latte agree that they both refer to milk. In French, "Caf é au lait" means coffee with milk. In Taiwan, it is also translated as "coffee O'Lei" or "O'Lei coffee". Although there is no specific proportion, coffee Olei and caf è latte are the same, with more milk than coffee; the biggest difference is that the base of the Italian latte is Espresso extracted by Italian, while the base of coffee Olei is brewed in a French filter kettle (French Press).

Of course, the practice of coffee lattes varies slightly from country to country. for example, coffee O'Lei does not have milk bubbles, and in general Italian lattes, milk bubbles are not the key point, which is different from the milk bubbles deliberately made by cappuccino.

Cappuccino Cappuccino

Unlike a latte, cappuccino has a low percentage of milk, with espresso, steamed milk and bubbles at about 1:1:1, so it tastes more coffee, with thick Dry foam protruding slightly from the cup's rim.

Because the amount of steamed milk is less, it can drink the flavor of espresso more than latte, pay more attention to the quality of base coffee, and make cappuccino become an important item in the global coffee competition; a perfect cappuccino has three main points: perfectly extracted Espresso, perfectly beaten foam and beautiful flowers.

In addition to the basic taste, cappuccino will also add cinnamon, cocoa or shredded peel to make a different flavor.

Mocha Mocha

Mocha is a small town port in the Middle East country of Yemen. the locally produced coffee beans are called mocha beans because of their special chocolate aroma, and then gradually developed this drink.

Traditional mochas are made from steamed milk and hot chocolate in espresso at a ratio of about 2:2:1, and a small amount of hot milk sets off the smooth taste of coffee and cocoa. Today, many mochas are made with Espresso, hot milk and chocolate sauce, or even decorated with whipped cream, making the bitter and sweet mocha a favorite drink for both adults and children.

Magido Macchiato

Macchiato in Italian means "spot". In fact, we can know a thing or two from the appearance of the drink. Macchiato's practice is to add a small amount of milk foam to a (One Shot) semantic concentrate, like the white spots on the Espresso.

Despite the addition of milky flavor, macchiato is still very strong, tastes a little softer than Espresso, and does not let milk steal the edge of the coffee, because of its small capacity, it is usually dressed in small cups.

The most common caramel macchiato in general stores is to add vanilla and caramel syrup to the macchiato and drink it directly without stirring, forming a bitter and sweet multi-layered taste in the mouth, which is addictive.
