The difference between the origin of latte and matcha latte and cappuccino

Latte, also known as Caff è Latte, is one of many Italian lattes, because latte means fresh milk in Italian, so if you are in Italy, remember not to just tell the coffee shop clerk that you want a cup of Latte, or you will get suspicious eyes and a cup of fresh milk. In the English-speaking world, Latte is the abbreviation of Coffee Latte, which generally refers to coffee made from hot fresh milk. The French word lait is synonymous with the Italian word latte, which means milk. Caff è Latte, the so-called coffee with milk, is usually directly transliterated as "latte" or even "latte" or "Natti". 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".

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 to deceive the besieged Turkish army in fluent Turkish, crossed the Danube and moved to Poland. 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.

In modern society, many people can't tell the difference between latte and cappuccino. They only know that they are called differently, but they don't know what the most basic difference is. There are also many people who can't understand why some of the emerging lattes have drinks with coffee and some don't, so let's give a simple example:

The difference between matcha latte and latte:

Matcha latte is not coffee, but a mixture of matcha powder and sugar water, plus hot milk (or ice) and milk foam, without coffee ingredients.

Latte is a drink with milk and coffee.

In the process of coffee spread, many people gradually like to simply order lattes instead of lattes. In a real understanding, a latte only represents a drink with milk, not a drink with coffee on the basis of milk.

The difference between latte and cappuccino:

Composition difference: as can be found in the composition diagram below, the ingredients of the two kinds of coffee are the same. Espresso (espresso) and milk (milk foam is milk, of course). The difference is that there is more than one bubble and one more milk. (Latte means milk, so remember that more milk is latte.)

Appearance difference: there are a few more details in the figure:

1. Cappuccino has thick foam and the edge of the cup, but lattes are not needed.

2. According to the physical picture, the cup of latte is bigger than the cappuccino cup. (this can increase the amount of milk)

The three coffees of WBC (World Barista Competition) are: espresso (espresso), cappuccino (Cappuccino), and creative coffee. The competition stipulates that the foam thickness of cappuccino is not less than that of 1CM. Cappuccino in some foreign countries can be divided into dry cappuccino and cappuccino, the difference is the question of how much milk, I will not say much here.

Taste difference: both cappuccino and latte have foam, and both require a lot of foam. The foam of the card is more, the proportion of milk is less, and the taste of coffee is more obvious. When drinking, it is recommended to stir the foam back into the cup and remix the milk coffee (because the basic foam and milk have been separated after the coffee is ready to serve, the taste of drinking foam alone is not good.) Milk and coffee are mixed with milk bubbles to fill your mouth. You can feel sweet without sugar. The latte has less foam and more milk, so the overall feeling is that the taste of milk is heavy, so during the game, cappuccino can taste the coffee better than this. It's a bit like milk with the taste of coffee, because there is no thick foam, so it doesn't feel very dense.

In the mysterious world of coffee, there are more things you don't know. Observe carefully and explore attentively. You will gradually fall in love with coffee and bring charming beauty.
