1. Espresso/Italian coffee/strong coffee/Espresso

The pressurized steam is passed directly through the coffee powder, and the resulting liquid is called espresso. It is pure coffee and the base for other coffee drinks.

Espresso is an Italian word, which refers to a strong coffee that is extracted quickly in a short time with a coffee machine. It is almost the basis of all fancy coffees and a must-have in coffee shops all over the world. Espresso is a very small cup, usually only about 30 ml, tastes very bitter, and has a thick layer of oil floating on the surface. It will be served with a cup of water, and you can choose to add sugar. Customers who order Espresso in a coffee shop are either true coffee lovers who want to taste the most authentic taste of coffee; or they are simply because they are very sleepy and need to be refreshed. People who want to spend an afternoon leisurely in a coffee shop are not suitable to order this. Some coffee shops can choose "Single" or "Double" for Espresso. Double does not mean two cups, but means extracting with double the coffee powder, which will be more bitter.

2. Americano

1 part espresso + 2 parts water

Many cafes’ “coffee of the day” is actually American coffee, which is usually the cheapest coffee on the menu. To put it simply, American coffee is half a cup of Esprssso mixed with half a cup of boiled water. Some cafes also use drip coffee pots to brew it. American coffee has a light taste, light color, slightly sour and bitter. Usually, cafes will provide milk and sugar. If the waiter gives you creamer, you might as well ask for fresh milk instead.

3. Flat White

1 part espresso + 1.5 parts hot milk

White coffee is a local specialty of Malaysia with a history of more than 100 years. White coffee does not mean that the color of coffee is white, but it is made from premium Liberica, Arabica and Robusta coffee beans and premium skim creamer, which are roasted at medium to low temperatures and processed with special technology to remove a large amount of caffeine, the bitter and sour taste produced by high-temperature carbon roasting, and the bitter and sour taste of coffee and the caffeine content are reduced to a minimum. No additives are added to enhance the taste. The coffee is sweet and fragrant without hurting the stomach. The original color and aroma of coffee are retained. The color is lighter and softer than ordinary coffee, with a light golden milk color and a pure taste, so it is named white coffee.

4. Macchiato

1 part espresso + 0.5 part milk foam (fat in milk)

Macchiato is translated as "Machia Duo" by many coffee shops. Simply put, it is to scoop a few spoonfuls of milk foam into a cup of espresso. The coffee taste is still strong, and you can enjoy the delicate and dense milk foam. We often hear "Caramel Macchiato", which is said to be Starbucks' original creation. The method is to add vanilla syrup to milk, mix it with espresso coffee, and then cover the milk foam with a layer of caramel, which has a rich taste.

5. Con Panna

1 part espresso + 0.5 part whipped cream

Café Combo means coffee with fresh cream. In most Italian coffee shops, Combo is served in transparent cups, so you can clearly see the interface where the fresh cream and coffee blend. Because the fresh cream itself has a light sweetness, sugar is usually not added when drinking.

6. Latte

1 part espresso + 1.5 parts hot milk + 0.5 parts milk foam

Latte is a classic mixture of espresso and milk. A small amount of espresso is poured into the bottom of the cup, and then a large amount of milk is added. There is a dense layer of foam on the top. Skilled baristas can draw various patterns on the milk foam. In France, there is a kind of "coffee au lait", which is almost a national drink. It is very similar to latte, but milk and coffee are poured into the cup at the same time. Latte is very popular in Chinese coffee shops. It is moderately priced and cost-effective. A good latte has a strong coffee and milk flavor. A not-so-good latte may be like drinking a cup of hot milk with coffee flavor.

7. Breve

1 part espresso + 0.75 part hot milk + 0.75 part fresh cream + 0.5 part milk foam

A less common type of coffee, the Chinese name is yet to be verified. It is very similar to latte, both are espresso and steamed milk. The difference is that the two parts of steamed milk are replaced by a mixture of steamed milk and cream (STEAMED HALF-AND-HALF). Sometimes a little milk foam (MILK FOAM) is added.

8. Cappuccino

1 part espresso + 0.5 part hot milk + 1.5 part milk foam

Once upon a time, Elva Hsiao's song "Cappuccino" became popular all over the country. The line in the lyrics "Love is like Cappuccino, with thick foam of attachment" made everyone know the characteristic of this coffee - a lot of foam. Cappuccino and latte have the same ingredients, espresso + milk + milk foam. The only difference is that cappuccino has more milk foam than milk, while latte has more milk than milk foam. Cappuccino of the same price is usually smaller than latte, but the coffee flavor is stronger. The collision of dense milk foam and bitter coffee is also loved by a large number of customers, especially girls.

9. Mocha

1 part espresso + 1 part hot milk + 0.5 part chocolate sauce + 0.5 part fresh cream

The recipe of Mocha is relatively complex. It is based on espresso and milk, and there is also chocolate sauce. The top is not milk foam, but whipped cream. It is often squeezed with chocolate sauce, or sprinkled with cocoa powder and cinnamon powder, which has a unique flavor. Because of its "rich content", it is usually sold at a higher price and in a larger cup. Both chocolate and cream are sweet, so Mocha coffee is a model of bitter and sweet combination.
