Italian latte:
Italian latte coffee (Caffè Latte) requires a small cup of Espresso (Italian) and a cup of Milk (150~200 ml), latte has more milk and less coffee, which is very different from Cappuccino.
The preparation of latte coffee is extremely simple, which is to pour nearly boiling milk into the freshly made Italian espresso. In fact, there is no set rule for how much milk to add, and you can freely adjust it according to your personal taste.
If you add some frothed cold milk to hot coffee, it becomes an American latte. Starbucks' American latte is made in this way. The bottom is Italian espresso, the middle is milk heated to 45~55℃, and finally a layer of milk foam no more than half a centimeter.

The preparation of au lait coffee is also very simple, that is, pour a cup of Italian espresso and a large cup of hot milk into a large cup at the same time, and finally put two spoons of foamed cream on the surface of the liquid.
