Piccolo is a small latte? Piccolo coffee is very famous in Australia, and its reputation is no less than that of Australia and white. As for why this coffee is called Piccolo, it actually has something to do with translation. Piccolo coffee is called "Piccolo Latte" in foreign languages. Australian baristas use Italian to name it. "Piccolo" means "small" in Italian. So the real name of this coffee is "Little Latte", but since Australia is an English-speaking area, it is reasonable to call it "Piccolo (latte) Coffee" in English literal translation.

Piccolo is a small latte, or, more accurately, a regular latte, no matter in terms of the name or the taste and structure of the drink. The emergence of piccolo coffee is not in the face of the consumer market Piccolo coffee (small latte) was first used by bakers or baristas to test coffee beans or extraction parameters. Test coffee is generally divided into concentrated coffee itself (or American) and milk coffee (latte-based). Since it is only testing its flavor performance, it is a bit wasteful and time-consuming to make lattes according to formal specifications. So they used a shunt handle to divide an espresso into two portions, one for direct tasting and the other proportionally made into a small latte for re-taste.

Sometimes, the coffee shop owner will use this method to make a small latte for his regular customers to taste the new coffee beans. Over time, small lattes (piccolo coffee) began to be used for production. its advantage is that you can taste a latte for less price without having to worry about the fullness of large cups, which is in line with the coffee culture of drinking and leaving quickly. Piccolo coffee is not only a small latte, but also because it is no different from a latte except for a small cup, so piccolo coffee is relatively rare in China. But to make a small latte that can be produced is definitely more difficult than an ordinary latte. The traditional Piccolo latte is made from a 3-ounce (90ml) glass mixed with a single espresso (20g or 30ml) and steamed milk from 60ml. The first difficulty is that 60ml's milk is turned into foam, which tests the barista's foam-beating skills. Some baristas who think they are incompetent will choose to add more milk to reduce the difficulty, but doing so will waste more materials.

Then there is fusion and flower drawing, because the cup size is too small, to achieve uniform fusion and flower drawing, it is also a very test of the level of baristas. After the launch of the market, some coffee shops in order to make piccolo coffee have more distinctive features, for example, on the base, some coffee shops will use Ristretto, so that piccolo coffee is fuller and more fragrant than latte coffee.
