Definition of coffee drinks

Ristretto

This word has been explained in the previous coffee vocabulary and can be simply understood as a double espresso, with double coffee powder, less water, and about 20-25 milliliters of coffee. When making drinks with strong coffee flavor, Ristretto will be used as the base.

Espresso or Short Black

The word Espresso, which we explained earlier, is espresso. The amount of coffee extracted is 25-30 ml, and the extraction time is 25-30 seconds. Espresso is the basis for making many coffee drinks. The hallmark of espresso is the thick fat on the surface of the coffee.

Macchiato

Macchiato (Italian pronunciation: macchiato) coffee. The original meaning of Macchiato is "sign" and "mark". In this case, it means to mark coffee with milk. Macchiato is a kind of milk coffee, that is, a small amount of hot milk without milk foam is added to the espresso. The ratio of coffee to hot milk can be 1:1. But now in some places, macchiato coffee is no longer made with hot milk, but with a small spoonful of milk foam.

Long Black or Americano

It can also be called American coffee, which is filled with an espresso in a cup of hot water. It will taste a little stronger than American drip coffee.

Caffe Latte

We also mentioned this word earlier, coffee latte. The traditional latte should be in a glass, not in a ceramic cup. The traditional latte is to pour an espresso on top of hot milk and foam so that the coffee sinks between the foam and the hot milk. Today, in more coffee shops, lattes are hot milk and espresso, then covered with cream. Latte is a typical breakfast coffee.

Flat White

A term commonly used in Australia and New Zealand for coffee, which refers to the addition of hot milk without foam to espresso, which can be found on the streets of Australia and New Zealand.

Cappuccino

Cappuccino, which can be said to be the most familiar coffee drink among Chinese people, gives people the impression of thick, sticky foam, cinnamon sprinkled on the foam, charming aroma of coffee and a sip of foam left on the lips. Cappuccino is an espresso with very thick foam.

Mugaccino

Double espresso with thick foam and sprinkle with chocolate powder. The word is also more commonly used in Australia, meaning Mug of Cappuccino, a large cup of cappuccino in a mug.

The above definition is only from a general point of view, in different cafes may have their own recipe, just like Kung Pao chicken, although generally do this, but there may be great differences in the taste of different restaurants.

All right, let's end up with a few pieces of hanging-ear coffee we tasted when we updated our blog.
