Latte, the classic mixture of espresso and milk.

Latte is one of many Italian lattes because latte means fresh milk in Italian. In the English world, it generally refers to coffee brewed with hot fresh milk. Latte Coffee, the so-called coffee with milk, is usually translated directly as "latte".

The French word lait is synonymous with the Italian word latte, which means milk. As for the French word Cafe au Lait, which means coffee with milk, it is commonly known as "coffee O'Lei" or "O'Lei coffee".

It was not until the 1980s that the term latte was used outside Italy. A typical latte consists of 1/3 espresso Espresso and 2/3 fresh milk, usually without foam. Compared with cappuccino, it has more fresh milk flavor and more mellow flavor.

The origin of the latte the famous phrase "I'm not in the cafe, I'm on my way to the cafe" was said by a musician in Vienna. The air of Vienna is always filled with the smell of music and Latte coffee. The first person to add milk to his coffee was Kochsky of Vienna.

This is the story of 1683. This year, the Turkish army attacked Vienna for the second time. The then Emperor Augustus I of Vienna had an offensive and defensive alliance with King Augustus II of Poland, and as soon as the Poles heard the news, reinforcements would arrive quickly. But the question is, who will break through the siege of the Turks to deliver letters to the Poles? Kochsky, a Viennese who had traveled in Turkey, volunteered.

He fooled the besieged Turkish army in fluent Turkish, crossed the Danube and brought in the Polish army. Although the Ottoman army was brave and skillful, it retreated hastily under the attack of the Polish and Viennese armies, leaving behind a large number of military supplies outside the city. among them are dozens of sacks of coffee beans-coffee beans that the Muslim world has controlled for centuries that have refused to flow out so easily into the hands of Viennese. But the Viennese don't know what it is. Only Kochsky knows that this is a magical drink. So he asked for dozens of sacks of coffee beans as a reward for breaking through the siege, and used the trophies to open a cafe in Vienna, Blue bottle. At first, the business of the cafe was not good. The reason is that Europeans do not like to drink coffee grounds with coffee grounds as the Turks do. So the clever Kochsky changed the recipe, filtering out the coffee grounds and adding a lot of milk-this is the original version of the latte that is common in cafes today.

Latte is a classic blend of Italian espresso and milk. Italians also like lattes as breakfast drinks. In the Italian kitchen in the morning, coffee and milk are usually brewed on the sunlit stove. Italians who drink lattes like milk rather than espresso, and only espresso can bring unforgettable taste to ordinary milk.
