Different Types Of Coffee
You might not remember the days when the only choice of coffee was between instant or filter, but if you do then all the coffees on choice these days might be baffling. So here is my rundown of the main ones so anyone who usually sticks to white with one can try something new next time they’re in the coffee shop.
One type which is commonly drank is the latte, which takes it’s name from the Italian word for milk, and is two parts milk one part coffee. It makes a sweet and comforting drink and is usually served in a long glass or cup and is delicious with biscotti.
The chocolatey cousin of the latte is the mocha- which is one of my favourites. The ratio between coffee and milk is similar to that of a latte, with the only change being the addition of a shot of chocolate to create a coffee hot chocolate hybrid.
Completely different to the mocha and latte is the espresso, which is short, dark and bitter. An espresso is served in a short measure and is created from beans which have been roasted until dark brown.
The less popular, but no less delicious macchiato sits somewhere between the espresso and cappuccino and is an espresso with a small amount of milk added. The macchiato takes its name from the Italian for marked as the espresso is marked with milk- giving a less intense hit.
Another slight variation on the espresso is The Americano. This type of coffee is made by adding hot water to an espresso to create the strength of a filter coffee with the taste of an espresso, and is called an Americano as it was what American soldiers drank during WW2.
And finally, the most popular on my list, is cappuccino. Cappuccinos are made by combining equal measures of hot coffee and hot milk, finishing with frothed milk and a delicious sprinkling of chocolate powder.
