Can someone explain the different coffees from places like Starbucks?!
Answers: I always get the same thing because I'm overwhelmed with all the choices. There's a mochachino, latte, Cappuccino,Macchiato, etc... plus all the different blends. I usually like something not too strong with a little sweetness. Any suggestions or can you explain a few of them to me? Thank you everyone!
Americano - hot water and espresso
Latte - steamed milk, espresso, topped with foam
Flavored Latte - flavored syrup, steamed milk, espresso, topped with foam
Mocha - chocolate, steamed milk, and espresso
White Mocha - white chocolate, steamed milk, and espresso
Cappuccino - espresso, very little steamed milk, lots of foam
Iced Teas - iced tea, water, optional sugar, and ice
Tea Lemonades - iced tea, lemonade, optional sugar, and ice
Coffee Frapps - coffee mix and ice
Flavored Coffee Frapp - flavored syrup, coffee mix and ice
Creme Frapps - nonfat milk, powdered milk, ice
Flavored Creme Frapps - nonfat milk, powdered milk, flavor (syrup, juice, tea, chocolate chips, etc), ice
Americano = black coffee
Moccacino = cappuccino with chocolate
Cappuccino = 1/3 coffee, 1/3 froth 1/3 milk
Latte = 1/3 coffee 2/3 milk
Macchiato or Espresso = 1 shot strong coffee
The list goes on but this is a start. I like a nice Colombian for a great taste.
Just make sure it's Fairtrade so the grower gets a fair price.
