This is a three-component recipe–espresso shot, steamed milk & a thick layer of foam. Due to the ratio of coffee to milk (2:1), it is stronger in flavour than a latte.
Americano
Americano is a diluted version of an espresso shot with hot water in the ratio of 1:2. It can be served with milk and sugar on the side, however it does not come with foam.
Mocha
A mochaccino is a variant of latte, made with chocolate syrup, hot milk and an espresso shot.
Café Au lait
Café Au lait is made in the ratio of 1:1 with coffee and hot milk. It doesn't have foamed milk which sets it apart from the likes of a latte or cappuccino.
Flat White
Flat white coffee comes with 1 or 2 shots of coffee with micro-foam! Micro-foam is smooth and velvety, has super fine bubbles as compared to the foam used in latte or cappuccino.
Irish coffee
