coffee
Every time I go to a western restaurant for afternoon tea, I believe many friends will order a cup of coffee, which will not only refresh me, but also be very emotional. However, when ordering coffee, many people don't know where to start when faced with various coffee names on the menu. For example, the most common mocha and latte, when it comes to the difference between them, many friends will look puzzled. Today, Lazy Meow will talk to you about this topic. Let's take a look:
What's the difference between mocha coffee and latte?
0 1 Different cultural origins Mocha coffee's name "Mocha" originated from Mocha, a seaside town on the Red Sea in Yemen, an Asian country, which monopolized the export trade of coffee in the15th century. What is produced here is a chocolate-colored mocha coffee bean, from which people germinated the idea of adding chocolate to coffee, and there is the mocha coffee we saw in the coffee shop today.
Café Latté
The name of Latte coffee "latte latte" means "milk" in Italian. 1683, a Viennese named Kochesky opened a coffee shop in the local area. Because the business was not very good, he started with coffee, changed the formula, filtered out the coffee grounds and added a lot of milk. The earliest prototype of the latte we are drinking now came from Koczysky.
From the cultural origin, Mocha coffee originated from Mocha, a seaside town on the Red Sea in Yemen, and latte came from the owner of a cafe in Vienna, Austria.
Mocha coffee with different raw materials is made of espresso, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and milk, and some cinnamon powder or cocoa powder is usually sprinkled on it, which is rich in raw materials. Latte coffee is made by mixing Italian espresso with milk. There is no chocolate sauce and whipped cream in it, which can be simply understood as a combination of milk and coffee.
From the composition of raw materials, the main raw materials of mocha coffee are espresso, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and milk, while the main raw materials of latte are only espresso and milk.
03 latte with different appearance and styles
Mocha coffee usually has whipped cream and brown chocolate sauce on the surface, and a little cinnamon or cocoa powder as an ornament, which makes the picture more gorgeous; There will be a thin milk foam on the surface of latte. If you order latte in a coffee shop, there will usually be a very delicate flower pattern on the surface.
From the appearance style, the difference between the two kinds of coffee is reflected in the surface pattern. Mocha coffee has a rich surface, which is composed of cream, chocolate sauce, cinnamon powder or cocoa powder. The surface pattern of latte coffee is simple and elegant, and it usually has delicate flowers.
Mocha coffee with different taste
Mocha coffee tastes like chocolate and cream, which is a good taste for people who like dessert. Some people also describe the taste of mocha coffee as the taste of love, because it is so sweet. There is more milk in latte than coffee, so the coffee taste is not so strong, but has a mellow fresh milk taste.
From the taste, mocha coffee tastes sweet, with chocolate flavor and cream flavor; Latte coffee tastes like fresh milk.
Conclusion coffee
The difference between mocha coffee and latte coffee is mainly reflected in four aspects, namely, different cultural origins, different raw materials, different appearance and styles, and different tastes. When you order coffee next time, you will not be confused again.
However, I would like to remind friends who are losing weight here that if they want to drink coffee, they must not choose mocha, because the heat inside is so high that the heat of a cup of mocha coffee is about equal to that of three small bowls of rice. If you really want to drink, you can choose to drink a little latte.
