Starbucks' five basic drinks, namely cappuccino, mocha, Latte, Macchiato and Americano, are all made of expresso.
In Starbucks, you will find that espresso is the cheapest, and only one cup is 22 yuan. Some people buy espresso for the sake of cheapness. An espresso should be made in about 30 seconds using about 6.5 grams of coffee powder, purified water at about 95℃ and 9 atmospheres. The amount of an espresso is very small, but the concentration is very high and it is miserable. Anyway, Taotao personally doesn't like to drink it.
After any Starbucks coffee is finished with espresso, something else should be added. A latte is first made with 1 serving of coffee, which is actually an espresso, and then three portions of micro-foamed milk are added. Foam stands for "foam", the prefix micro- stands for "tiny" and micro-foamed stands for "less foamed".
A cup of cappuccino is first made of 1 serving espresso, then 1 serving hot milk is added, and then 1 serving frothed milk is added, where frothed is equal to the above mentioned foamed, which means "frothy". In a cup of cappuccino, the ratio of coffee, milk and milk foam is1:1:1. Both cappuccino and latte have a strong milk flavor, but the difference is that cappuccino has more foam than latte.
The real caramel macchiato, as shown in the picture, is covered with a thin layer of milk foam on the basis of 1 serving of espresso. This layer of milk bubble is like a stain or spot, which is dotted on the espresso, so this coffee is called macchiato.
Caramel macchiato sold in Starbucks is an original drink of Starbucks. hot milk is mixed with espresso and vanilla syrup, and then covered with a unique layer of caramel, which tastes sweet and is very popular among girls.
This kind of coffee is rich in layers: first, it is made of 1 serving espresso, mixed with 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder, then added with 1 serving of hot milk and then added with 1 serving of frothed milk.
Because of the chocolate flavor, mocha tastes relatively sweet.
