Espresso
The espresso (aka “short black”) is the foundation and the most important part to every espresso based drink.
Double Espresso
A double espresso (aka “Doppio”) is just that, two espresso shots in one cup.
Macchiato
A macchiato is similar to an espresso but with a dollop of steamed milk and foam to mellow the harsh taste of an espresso.
Cappuccino
A cappuccino is similar to a latte. However the key difference between a latte and cappuccino is that a cappuccino has more foam and chocolate placed on top of the drink.
Americano
A long black (aka “americano”) is hot water with an espresso shot extracted on top of the hot water.
Latte
A café latte, or “latte” for short, is an espresso based drink with steamed milk and micro-foam added to the coffee.
Mocha
A mocha is a mix between a cappuccino and a hot chocolate. It is made by putting mixing chocolate powder with an espresso shot and then adding steamed milk and micro-foam into the beverage.
Risetretto
A ristretto is an espresso shot that is extracted with the same amount of coffee but half the amount of water. The end result is a more concentrated a nd darker espresso extraction.
