8 common coffee flavors

There are various coffee flavors, which are often seen on coffee shop signs. They all use similar ceramic cups with patterns on them. They all taste similar, with sweet syrup with a hint of milk and coffee (in fact, there are big differences, and domestic coffee shops are just doing a poor job)

Mocha, latte, and cappuccino all belong to the category of Italian coffee. They are all made from espresso as a base and supplemented by ingredients in different proportions.

What is espresso? It is a small cup of 25-40g of strong coffee liquid extracted by an Italian machine, that is, a steam press. Adding the same proportion of milk and milk powder is cappuccino, adding 1.5-2 times the milk is latte, and adding some chocolate sauce is mocha.

There are many types of coffee, with espresso as the base and different auxiliary coffees, such as affogato, which is espresso as the base and a spoonful of gelato.

You can even go to McDonald's and make your own affogato, 12 espressos in a cup, a cone or a sundae. For a cone, the ice cream is poured into the espresso cup, and for a sundae, the espresso is poured into the sundae cup. Haha, McDonald's affogato!

There is also Cuban coffee, which requires a semi-automatic coffee machine. Put sugar into the portafilter, add powder, and a cup of Cuban coffee is ready.

With espresso as the base and different auxiliary ingredients as the auxiliary ingredients, there are so many possibilities that the flavors are endless because there can be continuous innovation.

As for pure coffee itself, the flavors are also rich and colorful, including citrus, strawberry, lemon, apple, and too many to count. People with a sensitive palate who have received professional training can taste dozens of flavors. This is the fun of pure coffee.

Today I will briefly introduce 8 common coffee flavors

1 Espresso

This can be said to be a classic in every coffee shop, and it is also the basis of other fancy coffees. Generally speaking, espresso is a very small cup, about 30 ml, bitter, with a thick layer of coffee oil floating on the surface. In Italian, espresso means "freshly brewed for you", and its process is to extract it quickly in a short time.

2. Americano

American coffee is actually espresso mixed with half a cup of boiled water. The ratio of water to coffee is usually 2:1. Of course, many coffee shops now use drip coffee pots for brewing.

3. Latte

Latte is a classic combination of espresso and milk, with the ratio of milk to coffee generally controlled at 1.5:1. Some milk foam is added to the top of the coffee, and a good barista can also present you with beautiful latte art.

4. Cappuccino

It is easy to confuse with latte. The difference between the two is the ratio of milk to milk foam. Cappuccino has more milk foam than milk.

5. Cafe Mocha

Mocha is a coffee with a more complicated recipe. In addition to espresso and milk, it also has chocolate sauce and whipped cream. The advanced version will also be squeezed with chocolate sauce or sprinkled with cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, etc., which is also a good experience.

6. Macchiato

It is a combination of strong coffee and delicate milk foam added to espresso. However, Starbucks also has a caramel macchiato, which tastes pretty good.
