Latte is not coffee.
Latte is a drink with milk as the main ingredient, usually sold with coffee in coffee shops. Although a latte contains ingredients from coffee, it is very different from coffee in terms of taste, aroma, and method of preparation.
Latte is usually made by mixing equal parts of espresso and steamed milk, and it has a relatively rich taste with a hint of sweetness and creaminess. During the process, the barista uses high-temperature steam to heat and froth the milk, which is then mixed with the espresso to create the latte's characteristic taste and appearance.
Coffee, on the other hand, is a drink made from coffee beans and is characterized by a bitter, sour taste. The method of making coffee includes processes such as grinding the beans and brewing, which requires controlling factors such as water temperature and volume in order to achieve the best flavor and aroma effects.
Characteristics of latte
1, rich milk froth: Latte is characterized by a thick layer of milk froth at the top, which gives the coffee a soft taste and a rich milky flavor.
2, rich coffee flavor: Latte uses espresso as its base, so it has a rich coffee flavor with a hint of bitterness and a mellow taste.
3, balanced flavor: the ratio of milk froth and coffee in the latte is just right, so that the flavor of coffee is not overpowering, but also does not mask the flavor of milk.
4, suitable for matching desserts: Because of the strong milky flavor of latte, it is often served with desserts, such as tiramisu and chocolate cake.
5, varied changes: latte can be varied according to personal taste, such as adding vanilla syrup, caramel sauce and other condiments, or choose different coffee beans and milk to make.
