It is a wonderful time to choose a comfortable afternoon to sit in a cafe, make an appointment with a bosom friend to chat, or read quietly alone. However, in the face of a dazzling variety of coffee, it is important to show that the expert is not timid when ordering. What's the difference between a cappuccino and a latte? Why is there a parenthesis after Esprssso on the menu that says Double (double)? Which is sweeter and which has the most milk? Now let's surprise some basic knowledge of coffee!

Esprssso Italian style is very strong.

Espresso is an Italian word that refers to a strong coffee that is rapidly extracted by a coffee machine in a short period of time. It is the basis of almost all fancy coffee and a must-have in cafes all over the world. Espresso is a very small cup, usually only about 30 milliliters, the taste is very bitter, the surface is floating with a thick layer of oil, will be with a cup of water, you can choose to add sugar. Guests who order Espresso in the cafe are either real coffee lovers who want to taste the most authentic taste of coffee, or simply because they are extremely sleepy and in urgent need of refreshing. People who want to spend a leisurely afternoon in a cafe are not suitable for this. The Esprssso of some cafes can choose "Single single" or "Double double". Double does not mean two cups, but means to extract with double coffee powder, which will be more bitter.

Americano American Coffee

The "coffee of the day" in many cafes is actually American coffee, which is usually the cheapest on the cafe menu. To put it bluntly, American coffee is a small cup of Esprssso mixed with more than half a cup of boiled water, and some cafes use drip coffee pots to brew. American coffee is light in taste, light in color, slightly sour and slightly bitter, and usually serves milk and sugar in cafes. If the waiter gives you cream, you might as well ask for fresh milk.

Caf é Latte latte

Latte is a classic mixture of Espresso and milk. A small amount of Espresso is poured into the bottom of the cup, and then a lot of milk is added. The top of the latte is a thick layer of foam. Skilled baristas will pull out a variety of patterns on the foam. Lattes are very popular in Chinese cafes with moderate prices and high performance-to-price ratio. A good latte has a good taste of coffee and milk, while a bad one may be like drinking a cup of hot milk with coffee flavor.

The classic latte is 70% milk + 20% foam + 10% coffee, while the American latte uses a small amount of cold milk foam on top of 65-75 ℃ milk. Ole Coffee, which is popular with the French, pours milk and coffee into the cup at the same time. The two are collided and mixed at the first time, plus two tablespoons of foamed cream, which is very common in French breakfast and is almost a national drink.

Cappuccino cappuccino

Once upon a time, Xiao Yaxuan's song "Cappuccino" was popular all over the country, and the sentence "Love is like Cappuccino, thick nostalgia foam" in the lyrics made everyone know the characteristics of this kind of coffee-foam. Cappuccino and latte have the same ingredients as Espresso+ milk + milk foam, except that there are more cappuccino milk bubbles than milk, and lattes have more milk than milk bubbles. Cappuccinos of the same price are usually smaller than lattes, but the coffee is more intense. The collision of dense milk foam and bitter coffee is also loved by a large number of customers, especially by girls.

Cappuccino is a classic of Italian coffee and milk. The color of coffee is like the scarf on the dark brown coat of cappuccino monks, hence the name caffeine. You can adjust the ratio of milk to coffee according to your taste. The heavy flavor of milk is called wet cappuccino, and the heavy flavor of coffee is called dry cappuccino.

The ingredients of mocha are relatively complex. On the basis of Espresso and milk, there is chocolate sauce, not foam at the top, but whipped cream, often squeezed with chocolate sauce, or sprinkled with cocoa powder and cinnamon powder. Because "rich in content", the price is usually higher, but also relatively large cups. Both chocolate and cream taste sweet, so mocha coffee is an example of the combination of bitterness and sweetness.

Macchiato Macchiato

Macchiato is also translated by many cafes as "Macchiato", which simply means scooping a few spoonfuls of milk foam into a cup of Espresso. The coffee is still strong, and you can enjoy the delicate milk foam. We often hear "caramel macchiato", which is said to be original by adding vanilla syrup to the milk, mixing it with Espresso coffee, and then covering the milk foam with a layer of caramel.
