What matters most, regardless of why you drink coffee, is how it tastes, smells and whether or not it makes you feel alert and satisfied in the morning. That being said, everybody has their favorite order, maybe a latte, a piccolo, or maybe a long black. There are many types of blended coffee that you can serve as a coffee shop owner to your guests, so it's difficult to understand the difference between them. We discussed the most popular coffee drinks and their recipes to get to know them and keep up with the latest coffee trends.

 

Let's explore what variations distinguish these particular forms of coffee:

 

• BLACK 

Black coffee is as simple as making ground coffee beans steeped in hot water, served soft. And you should call black coffee by its proper name if you want to sound fancy: cafe noir.

 

 

• LATTE 

 As one of the most famous coffee drink that are out, the latte consists of a shot of espresso and steamed milk with only a touch of foam. It can be bought pure or with a taste of something from vanilla to pumpkin spice.

 

 

• CAPPUCCINO

Cappuccino is a latte composed of more foam than steamed milk, often coated with chocolate powder or cinnamon. Often you can find combinations that use cream instead of milk or that add in the taste blast, as well.

 

 

• AMERICANO

With a taste similar to that of black coffee, the americano consists of an espresso dip dissolved in hot water. Pro tip: if you make your own, first pour the espresso, then add the hot water.

 

 

• ESPRESSO

An espresso shot, including lattes and macchiatos, can be consumed alone or used as the base of most coffee drinks.

 

 

• DOPPIO

A double shot, collected using a double coffee filter in the portafilter, is Doppio espresso. 

 

 

• CORTADO

A cortado is, like yin and yang, the natural match between espresso and hot steamed milk. Milk is used to cut down on the acidity of an espresso.

 

 

• RED EYE

Called after those pesky midnight flights, every tiresome morning can be relieved by a red eye. A full cup of hot coffee, mixed with an espresso shot, would certainly make your heart pound.

 

• GALAO

Originating in Portugal, the latte and cappuccino are closely linked to this hot coffee drink. The only distinction is that it contains nearly twice as much foamed milk, rendering it a lighter beverage than the other two.

 

 

• LUNGO

A lungo is an espresso with a long-pull. The more caffeine there is and the more ounces you will indulge, the longer the pull.

 

 

• MACCHIATO

Another espresso-based cocktail that has a slight amount of foam on top is the macchiato. That is the happy balance of a doppio and a cappuccino.

 

 

• MOCHA

You'll be in love with a mocha, for those of you chocolate lovers out there. The mocha with steamed milk and foam is a chocolate espresso cocktail. 

 

 

• RISTRETTO

The Ristretto is a shot of espresso. Compared to the sour taste of a typical shot of espresso or doppio, it uses less hot water that provides a sweeter flavor.

 

 

• FLAT WHITE

This Aussie-born coffee is simply a cappuccino without the sprinkle of foam or chocolate. For steamed milk, it's an espresso shot.

 

 

• AFFOGATO

An affogato is an opportunity to taste an ice cream scoop at every time of the day. Fed with an ice cream scoop and a shot or two of espresso. The affogato is served over a brownie as an extra delicacy.

 

 

• CAFE AU LAIT

For the coffee minimalist who needs a little more taste, Café au lait is fine. Only add your coffee with a shot of warm milk and you're all good!

 

 

• IRISH

Irish coffee, served with whipped cream, consists of black coffee, bourbon and sugar. Here's a recipe for Irish coffee that's going to warm you certainly up.

 

 

• CAFFE BREVE

Caffè breve, short in Italian, is an American version of a latte composed of 1/4 espresso, 1/2 steamed milk and 1/2 milk foam.

Because of the steamed half-and-half milk, which raises the volume of the coffee, it is a little smoother than the normal latte. It is known to be so rich that it is typically not appropriate to add sugar or any other sweetener. It is served as a dessert cocktail much of the time.

 

 

• PICCOLO LATTE

By pouring warm milk over a ristretto shot, a piccolo latte, or a small latte, is made. Usually, cafés serve it in a short 100 ml latte mug, so it is simply a little coffee shot of milk.

 

 

• LATTE MACCHIATO

Latte macchiato means "stained milk," and by pouring espresso over it, this coffee is simply a glass of milk that you "stain". It has the same ingredients as caffè latte, but it is made differently and served. A great latte macchiato comes in a tall bottle, and the layers of foam on top, espresso in the centre, and milk on the bottom can be clearly seen.

 

 

• GIBRALTAR

The most popular Cortado coffee variety is Gibraltar. It's San Francisco's cult coffee served in the popular 'Gibraltar' glasses. It is a little colder with a richer texture than a traditional Cortado.

By adding an espresso shot and 85ml of milk to a heated 'Gibraltar' bottle, the traditional Gibraltar is made. With Gibraltar, however, the main drawback is that the glass does not retain the heat, so the coffee cools very easily. As such, for the best experience, you should drink it quickly.

 

• LONG BLACK 

 Long black has a flavor that is better than Americano. To maximize the taste, you do it by pouring a smaller volume of water over two shots of ristretto or espresso.

 

 

• VIENNA

 The name of a common traditional cream-based coffee beverage is Vienna Coffee. It is made in a standard-sized coffee cup by preparing two shots of solid black espresso and infusing the coffee with whipped cream (as a substitute for milk and sugar) until the cup is loaded.

 

 

• DALGONA

 During the COVID-19 lockdown, when people stuck for a caffeine fix began messing around with various kinds of coffee recipes at home, this new star of the coffee world became an internet sensation. It is turned into a smooth froth by whiping up instant coffee, sugar and hot water and applying it to either hot or cold milk. It takes its name from the word for honeycomb candy in Korean, which it is similar to.

 

 

• FILTER COFFEE

Once the coffee family's long black sheep, recently filter coffee has made a return, and has become a trendy beverage, particularly if it's brewed cold. In either hot or cold water, ground coffee beans are left to steep, then filtered out, leaving the liquid behind. The effect is less rough and bitter than an espresso, but less watery than an Americano, and black or milk may be drank.

 

 

• MOCHACCINO

 A 'mocha' is just a latte, often served with whipped cream, with added chocolate powder or syrup. If anything, this is a decent coffee entry stage, residing between the childlike hot chocolate and the adult café latte in the worlds.

 

 

• CARAMEL MACCHIATO

This refreshing and delicious iced coffee drink is yet another classic of Starbucks, and the caramel macchiato can be made in as little as 5 minutes, just like the frappuccino, ideal for quenching the thirst and entertaining guests.

 

 

• TURKISH COFFEE

 Although any small pot will do, Turkish coffee is traditionally brewed in a pot called a cezve. Turkish coffee is a method of preparation that results in a coffee drink that is heavily caffeinated and unfiltered. It's always sweetened with sugar, and it is often possible to add cardamom.
