Espresso is an Italian word, which refers to an espresso that is quickly extracted by a coffee machine in a short time. It is the foundation of almost all fancy coffees, and it is also a must for cafes all over the world. Espresso is a small cup, usually only about 30 ml, with a bitter taste and a thick layer of oil floating on the surface. Like a glass of water, you can choose to add sugar. Guests who order espresso in coffee shops are either real coffee lovers who want to taste the most authentic taste of coffee; Or just because I'm too sleepy and need to refresh myself.
If you want to spend the afternoon in a coffee shop, it's not appropriate to order this. In some cafes, Esprssso can choose "single serving" or "double serving". Double does not mean two cups, but it means extracting with double coffee powder, which will be more bitter.
Café Americano
The "coffee of the day" in many cafes is actually American coffee, which is usually the cheapest one on the coffee shop menu. To put it bluntly, American coffee is a mixture of half a cup of Esprssso and half a cup of boiling water, and some cafes will brew it in a drip pot. American coffee is light in taste, elegant in color, slightly sour and bitter. Usually, coffee shops provide milk and sugar. If the waiter gives creamer, you might as well have fresh milk.
Café Latté
Latte is a classic mixture of espresso and milk. Pour a small amount of espresso into the bottom of the cup, then add a lot of milk. The top is covered with a thick layer of foam. Skilled baristas will pull out various patterns on the milk foam. There is a kind of "Leo coffee" in France, which is almost a national drink. It's very similar to a latte, except that milk and coffee are poured into a cup at the same time. Latte is very popular in China Cafe, with moderate price and high cost performance. Good lattes are full of coffee and milk, and those who fail the test may be like drinking a cup of coffee-flavored hot milk.
Cappuccino
Once upon a time, a song "Cappuccino" by Elva Hsiao (Weibo) was popular all over the country. The lyrics "Love is like a cappuccino, with a thick attachment bubble" let everyone know the characteristics of this coffee-a lot of bubbles. Like latte, cappuccino is espresso+milk+foam. The only difference is that cappuccino has more foam than milk, while latte has more foam than milk. Cappuccino at the same price is usually smaller than latte, but the coffee flavor is stronger. The collision between thick milk bubbles and bitter coffee is also loved by a large number of customers, especially girls.
Mocha coffee
The composition of mocha is relatively complex. On the basis of espresso and milk, there is chocolate sauce. It's not milk foam, but fresh cream, often squeezed with chocolate sauce, or sprinkled with cocoa powder and cinnamon powder, which has a special taste. Because of the "rich content", the price is usually higher and the cups are bigger. Chocolate and cream are both sweet, so mocha coffee is a model of bitter and sweet combination.
Macchiato Macchiato Macchiato Macchiato Macchiato
Macchiato has been translated into "Macchiato" by many cafes. Simply put, it is to scoop a few spoonfuls of milk bubbles into a cup of espresso. Coffee still has a strong flavor, and you can also enjoy fine milk bubbles.
