I have been drinking latte and mocha coffee for so many years, but today I know the difference

Back home these few days

I found myself missing the taste of coffee

Thinking of myself sitting in a cafe

Drinking latte and listening to music

Leisure time reading books and magazines

But until then

Many people still feel that:

Going to a cafe to drink coffee is so pretentious!

Ask them:

Why you

Why do you always put coffee and showing off together?

"Since I can't even tell the difference between a latte and a mocha,

What are you going to drink inside?"

"It is said that real men only drink American coffee.

But I really don’t know where to find the best sour ones.”

"Every time I ask if I want cream,

I was really confused when adding this and that! "

…

Don't laugh, I know you are here

Because most people don’t know:

What is the difference between mocha and latte?

???

Many people think that mocha coffee is similar to latte.

Although both coffees are Italian coffees, they are very different in taste and recipe ratio.

1. Mocha

Many people love mocha because of its unique chocolate aftertaste.

Mocha coffee, called Café Mocha in English, means chocolate coffee. It is usually made by mixing 1/3 of Italian diluted coffee espresso with 2/3 of hot milk, and then adding chocolate.

The traditional Italian fancy mocha coffee uses chocolate syrup as the raw material. However, as mocha coffee became popular, more home-made mocha coffees used chocolate syrup instead of chocolate powder, and some coffee sales systems used instant chocolate powder instead.

Today, in addition to dark chocolate, milk chocolate can also be used as one of the ingredients of mocha coffee.

Different from the milk foam on cappuccino, there is no milk foam on the top of mocha. Instead, it is topped with fresh cream, cocoa powder and cinnamon.

A variation of mocha is White Café Mocha, which simply replaces milk and dark chocolate with white chocolate.

The basic preparation method of Mocha is to pour 30 ml of diluted coffee and milk into the cup until it is 70% full, squeeze on the cream and then pour on the chocolate sauce.

Guests can choose how much they want to drink. If you order a take-out mocha, you will often be asked if you want cream. It all depends on your taste preference.

Mocha coffee is the fanciest type of Italian coffee. Cinnamon and cocoa powder can be added to it. It is no longer just coffee. It has less foam than latte, but is made with milk, cream and chocolate instead.

latté

Latte – The transliteration of the Italian word “Latte”, which means fresh milk in Italian.

Latte is a classic combination of Italian espresso and milk. Italians love to drink latte for breakfast. In the kitchen in the morning, Italians usually cook coffee and milk at the same time.

For Italians who drink latte, it is more accurate to say that they LOVE milk rather than loving Italian diluted coffee.

The ingredients of a regular latte are 1/3 espresso and 2/3 milk, usually without milk foam. Compared with cappuccino, it has more milk flavor.

The ratio of coffee, milk and milk foam in latte is 1:8:1. Therefore, it can be said to be a cup of coffee without shoulders. You can taste the warmth of milk, like a cup of milk coffee, but with the aroma of coffee when drinking milk. A large amount of milk and milk foam harmonize the rich taste of Italian diluted coffee espresso, making the taste more warm.

Remember, don't hesitate when drinking, latte needs to be stirred slightly before drinking.

Latte coffee can produce different types of coffee because of the different ways of adding milk. The following four are more common.

Italian Latte

Italian latte requires a small cup of Italian espresso and a cup of milk. Latte contains more milk and less coffee.

The method of making latte coffee is very simple, that is, pour nearly boiling milk into the freshly made Italian espresso. In fact, there is no fixed rule on how much milk to add, just adjust it according to the overall taste.

all in all

To sum up, the main difference between mocha coffee and latte coffee is:

In terms of the recipe ratio, Mocha is Espresso + milk, milk foam, cream and chocolate syrup or powder, while Latte only needs Espresso + milk, milk foam and cream.

The ratio of coffee + milk + milk foam is also different. However, for coffee drinkers, the taste is more important.

In terms of taste, latte is made of milk with coffee flavor, while mocha has a stronger coffee flavor with the aroma of chocolate. It is the perfect combination of coffee and chocolate.
