Coffees Types
Americano
Americano or American, is an espresso shot with hot water at a 1:3 to 1:4 ratio, resulting in a drink that retains the complex flavors of espresso, but in a lighter way. Its strength varies with the number of shots of espresso and the amount of water added. The name of the drink may also be written with Italian spelling and diacritics as "caffe americano", or Portuguese and Spanish spelling and diacritics as "café americano".
Latte
Latte or caffè latte also known as caffellatte, caffelatte, or rarely caffè e latte, is a coffee drink of Italian origin made with espresso coffee and steamed milk, traditionally served in a glass.
Cappucino
The name comes from the Capuchin friars, referring to the color of their habits, and in this context, referring to the color of the beverage when milk is added in small portions to dark, brewed coffee (today mostly espresso). The physical appearance of a modern cappuccino with espresso crema and steamed milk is a result of a long evolution of the drink.
Flat White
A flat white is a drink consisting of espresso coffee and steamed milk. It generally has a higher proportion of espresso to milk than a latte, and does not have the thick layer of foam of a cappuccino. The origin of the flat white is unclear; café owners in both Australia and New Zealand claim its invention. The name, however, was in use in England in the 1960s for an espresso-based coffee.
