WHAT’S YOUR COFFEE TYPE?

what is aN affogatos?

Ca è Americano You can make this type of coee quite simply by adding hot water to a shot of espresso coee. It has been said that American soldiers during the Second World War would make this type of coee to make their beverages last longer. It was then (apparently) adopted by American baristas after the war. Café Latte (or Café au lait) A fairly popular option for coee drinkers, a latte consists steamed (or scolded) milk and a single shot of coee. Cappuccino Possibly the most popular type of coee in the world, a cappuccino consists of three layers (kind of like a cake). The first is a shot of espresso, then a shot of steamed milk, and finally the barista adds a layer of frothed, foamy milk. This final layer can also be topped with chocolate shavings or powder. Traditionally, Italians would consume this type of coee at breakfast. Espresso To make an espresso, shoot boiling water under high pressure through

finely ground up coee beans and then pour into a tiny mug. Sounds simple right? Well, it’s surprisingly di‹cult to master. Espressos are the purest coee experience you can get. Flat White Originated in New Zealand and Australia. For a flat white, the steamed milk from the bottom of the jug (which is usually not so frothy, but rather creamy) is poured over a shot of espresso. Macchiato A macchiato is a shot of espresso which is then topped o with foamed milk dashed directly into the cup. Although it may sound similar to a cappuccino, it’s usually stronger as there’s no steamed milk added and it’s also smaller, usually served in an expresso sized cup. Mochaccino A ‘mocha’ is just a latte with added chocolate powder or syrup, as well as sometimes being topped with whipped cream. If anything, this is a good entry level coee – living in the worlds between the childlike hot chocolate and the adult café latte.

AFFOGATOS AREN’T A COFFEE AT ALL REALLY, AS THEY’RE A SHOT OF ESPRESSO POURED OVER A DESERT (USUALLY ICE CREAM). THAT DOESN’T MAKE THEM ANY LESS DELICIOUS THOUGH.
