Latte (Latte)

The proportion of an authentic Italian latte is 70% milk, 20% milk and 10% coffee. Lattes have more milk and less coffee, which is very different from Cappuccino. The latte is extremely simple: pour nearly boiling milk into the freshly made espresso. In fact, there is no fixed rule on how much milk is added, and it can be freely mixed according to individual taste. If you add some frothy cold milk to the hot milk, it becomes an American latte. Starbucks American lattes are made in this way, with milk heated to 65 ℃ at the bottom, espresso in the middle, and a layer of cold milk foam no more than half a centimeter.

Cappuccino (Cappuccino)

Unlike a latte, there is more cappuccino coffee and less milk. On the basis of Italian espresso, add a thick layer of foaming milk to become a cappuccino. The traditional cappuccino is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foamed milk. Some cinnamon or chocolate powder can be added to the foam to prolong the foam stay.

Italian espresso (Espresso)

The most important thing about a successful Espresso is to see whether there is a thick brown-red oil foam "Cream" floating on the surface. The most important feature of Espresso is the cohesion of fragrance and taste. The general orthodox way of drinking is to add sugar, stir slightly, and drink it immediately. While enjoying the fragrant taste, caffeine intake is greatly reduced. In Italian espresso, do not add whipped cream or milk, just add two tablespoons of soft milk foam to the coffee, so it is a cup of macchiato. Maggie must drink it in one mouthful before she can taste it.
