Answers: I'm not sure what a latte,cappucino,frappucino,and mocha etc. are. I basically want to know what each one is made of.

Latte is just espresso and steamed milk.
Cappuccino is espresso and a little bit of steamed milk and a large amount of milk foam - a "dry" cappuccino refers to more foam and less milk, where a "wet" cappuccino refers to more milk and less foam.
Mocha is a latte with chocolate added.

Breve means made with half-and-half instead of milk.

Macciatos are kind of bastardized at Starbucks, but the Carmel Macciato is like a latte, but the cup is lined with carmel swirls first, a shot of vanilla is added, and then it is finished like a latte.

chai is just some sort of milk and chai tea mix.

Frappuccino is Starbuck's version of smoothies, but made with coffee and tea, not fruit.

I don't know the other drinks, I work at a place that "proudly serves Starbucks" products.

latte- espresso, steamed milk, a little foam on top
Cappuccino- espresso, very foamy steamed milk
frapp- blended ice beverage, either coffee or cream based
mocha- basically a chocolate latte
white mocha- a white chocolate latte
americano- espresso and hot water
caramel macchiato- vanilla latte with caramel sauce on top.
macchiato- espresso, with a tiny bit of foam on top.

basically everything everyone else said but a chai tea[latte] is :
hot black tea with lotss of spices, w/ frothed milk.
its really good if you want a warm drink that is creamy but not overwhelmingly creamy and overly- sugary.
frapps are good in summer and the cafe vanilla is coffee based but the other vanilla one is cream based [ no coffee]

hope i helped!
