Difference between coffees?!


Question:

Difference between coffees?

What is the difference between espresso, frapuccino, and lattes?

What is in each of them?

I usually get frappuccinos and I know that there is ice cream, and ice, and coffee, and flavors and things.


Answers:
Espresso (Italian)[1] is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing very hot, but not boiling, water under high pressure through coffee that has been ground to a consistency between extremely fine and powder.

A latte can be differentiated between a cappuccino and a flat white by the proportion of milk to froth. A latte is recognised as having about one-third espresso and one centimetre of froth exhibiting latte art, with the remainder of the beverage being steamed milk. A cappuccino will hold about one-third froth, one-third steamed milk and one third espresso. A flat white will hold no froth, with the serving container filled about one-third espresso and the rest with steamed milk.

a frappuccino is Combining one-part soluble (instant) coffee with water makes the mix, then combining that with one-part liquid proprietary flavoring (which basically contains milk, sugar, flavorings, caramel coloring and other minor ingredients in specific amounts). This Mix is then blended with ice. The result is a drink with the consistency of almost a milkshake that should be easy to pour into a cup, but with almost a "slushie" consistency. This basic combination can be drunk, but has a strong coffee flavor.

Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing very hot, but not boiling, water under high pressure through coffee that has been ground to a consistency between extremely fine and powder.

Outside Italy since the early 1980s, a latte is prepared with approximately one third espresso and two-thirds steamed milk. Thus it has more milk than a cappuccino, and has a milder, milkier taste.

Frappuccino is made by combining one-part soluble (instant) coffee with water makes a mix, then combining that with one-part liquid proprietary flavoring (which basically contains milk, sugar, flavorings, caramel coloring and other minor ingredients in specific amounts).

espresso is a shot of concentrated coffee with a wonderful crema. it is drunk black, with a lemon peel as a garnish, if you'd like.

frappuccino (R) is a starbucks (R) drink made with instant coffee and ice and some other flavorings and sugars, whipped up into a frenzy and topped with whipped cream. egads!

latte (which means "milk" in italian) is 1/3 espresso & 2/3 steamed milk. if you were in italy and ordered a "latte" you would get a glass of milk. cafe e latte is the way to order it :)
