ESPRESSO-BASED, WITH MILK
RECIPES
• Cappuccino comprises equal parts of espresso coffee,
milk and froth, sometimes sprinkled with cinnamon or
powdered cocoa.
• Caffè latte or caffè e latte is often called simply
latte, it is espresso with steamed milk, traditionally
topped with the froth created when steaming the milk.
A latte comprises one-third espresso and nearly
two-thirds steamed milk. More frothed milk makes it
weaker than a cappuccino. A latte is also commonly
served in a tall glass; if the espresso is slowly poured
into the frothed milk from the rim of the glass, three
layers of different shades will form, with the milk at the
bottom, the froth on top and the espresso in between.
• Mocha is a latte with chocolate added.
• Caffè macchiato — macchiato meaning 'marked' or
'spotted' — is an espresso with a little steamed milk
added to the top, usually 1–2 oz, sometimes
sweetened with sugar or flavoured syrup.
ESPRESSO-BASED, WITH WATER
Once the espresso is extracted, the basis of most coffee
drinks, add water or milk to the coffee to create different
types of drinks.
• Americano style coffee is made with espresso
(normally several shots), topped with hot water to give
a similar strength (but different flavour) to a filter
coffee machine
• Long black is similar to Americano, but prepared in
different order (espresso is added to water instead of
vice versa)
• Lungo is different from an Americano. It is usually a
double shot of espresso run through the machine; all
the water runs through the beans, as opposed to
adding water.
• Ristretto is an espresso made with less than the usual
amount of water, filling a small espresso cup half-full of
very strong coffee.
