Do you know the difference between Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha, and Americano?
Espresso
Espresso is brewed by forcing steam or hot water through finely-ground darkly roasted coffee beans. Some people like to spend their time arguing about whether expresso is a proper variant of espresso or if it is merely mispronounced.
Cappuccino
Cappuccino is espresso coffee topped with frothed hot milk or cream and often flavored with cinnamon. Cappuccino entered the English language near the end of the 19th century.
Latte
Caffe latte is espresso mixed with hot or steamed milk; another 19th-century addition to our lexicon of coffee drinks, latte comes from the Italian caffe latte, which is short for caffè e latte ("coffee and milk").
Mocha
Mocha is a superior Arabian coffee. It may be used generally with the meaning "a coffee of superior quality," but you're most often likely to encounter it as "a flavoring made of a strong coffee infusion or of a mixture of cocoa or chocolate with coffee."
Americano
Americano is espresso diluted with hot water. The strength of an Americano varies with the number of shots of espresso and the amount of water added.
