Let’s break down the differences between some popular coffee types you might enjoy during your next visit.
Espresso
An espresso is a strong, concentrated coffee served in a small shot. It’s the foundation of most coffee drinks and is known for its robust flavour and creamy consistency, achieved by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans.
Americano: A Lighter Touch
An Americano is made by adding hot water to an espresso shot, diluting it to a lighter strength but retaining the rich flavour. It’s perfect for those who enjoy the taste of espresso but prefer a less intense coffee.
Latte: Smooth and Velvety
A latte combines espresso with steamed milk and a light layer of foam. It’s creamier than an Americano, making it a popular choice for those who appreciate a smoother, gentler coffee drink.
Cappuccino: A Perfect Balance
A cappuccino is somewhat similar to a latte but has more foam and often a sprinkle of chocolate or cinnamon on top. It strikes a delightful balance between the strong espresso and the milky addition, making it a favourite for many.
Flat White: Rich and Velvety
Originating from Australia and New Zealand, a flat white is like a latte but with a higher ratio of coffee to milk. The result is a rich, velvety drink that maintains a strong coffee flavour, topped with a thin layer of microfoam.
Macchiato: A Mark of Espresso
A macchiato is essentially an espresso with a spot of milk, often foamed. It’s stronger than a flat white but less so than a straight espresso, ideal for those who like a stout coffee with just a hint of creaminess.
Cortado: The Balanced Brew
A cortado takes the idea of a macchiato a bit further, using equal parts espresso and warm milk to reduce the acidity. The milk in a cortado is usually not frothy but rather creamy and smooth.
Mocha: A Chocolate Treat
A mocha is a chocolate-lover’s delight. Combining espresso with hot milk and chocolate, it is typically topped with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa. It’s perfect for those who want to indulge in something sweet and energising.
