Types of Coffee
Most coffee drinks comprise three common ingredients: espresso, steamed
milk, and foam. The following are just some of the coffee drinks
available to add to your to-drink list.
The Espresso, also known as a short black, is
approximately 1 oz. of highly concentrated coffee.
Americanos are popular breakfast drinks. The water
dilutes the espresso while still maintaining a high level of caffeine.
Consists of one shot of espresso + 3 oz. of hot water.
Cappucinos are usually associated with indulgence and
comfort because of its thick foam layer and additional flavorings that
can be added to it.
Consists of 1-2 shots of espresso + 2 oz. of steamed milk + 2 oz. of
foam milk.
Cafe lattes are considered an introductory coffee drink
since the acidity and bitterness of coffee is cut by the amount of milk
in the beverage. Flavoring syrups are often added to the latte for those
who enjoy sweeter drinks.
Consists of one shot of espresso + 8-10 oz. of steamed milk + 1cm of
foam.
The mocha is considered a coffee and hot chocolate
hybrid. The chocolate powder or syrup gives it a rich and creamy flavor
and cuts the acidity of the espresso.
Consists of one shot of espresso + 1-2 oz. of chocolate syrup + 1-3
oz. of steamed milk + 2-3cm of foam or whipped cream.
