thanks for any answers!!
Answers:
To make a proper latte/cappucino/mocha you must have a espresso machine. If you don't then the drink won't taste as strong unless you do something like make an extra strong brew.
Anyways for a latte fill a cup 1/3 the way with the espresso/coffee and the rest with steamed milk. Use a steaming wand for this part. It's usually included with the espresso machine. If you steam it well you should also have produced some foam. Take a spoon scoop up a dollap and plop it on top. That's a latte. A cappucino starts out the same but instead of 2/3 milk you add 1/3 steamed milk and the other 1/3 is the milk foam. For a mocha is exactly like a latte just add in a quirt of chocolate syrup. Remember to stir. Also an Americano is a shot of espresso with hot water. Cafe au lait is 3/5 coffee with 2/5 steamed milk and Redeye is 1 shot of espresso with coffee.

One would first center themselves, and become one with the coffee machine. Then one would have to eat 32 lbs of raw lettuce to compete with the needs of said-coffee machine. Then one must go to supermarket and buy latte, cappucino, mocha, or any other drink like that. You are now free young grasshopper; flutter with the victory of a thousand battles, to be in this freedom, forever more.
the different type of coffee:
caffè (espresso)―a small cup of very strong coffee, i.e., espresso
caffè Americano―American-style coffee, but stronger; weaker than espresso and served in a large cup
caffè corretto―coffee "corrected" with a shot of grappa, cognac, or other spirit
caffè doppio―double espresso
caffè freddo―iced coffee
caffè Hag―decaffeinated coffee
caffè latte―hot milk mixed with coffee and served in a glass for breakfast
caffè macchiato―espresso "stained" with a drop of steamed milk: small version of a cappuccino
caffè marocchino―espresso with a dash of hot milk and cacao powder
caffè stretto―espresso with less water; rocket fuel!
cappuccino―espresso infused with steamed milk and drunk in the morning, but never after lunch or dinner
granita di caffè con panna―frozen, iced beverage (similar to a slush, but ice shavings make it authentic) and topped with whipped cream
Look this website there're a lot of advice to prepare some of these "caffè"
