Coffee and Espresso
Drinks Explained
Drinks Explained
When it comes to getting caffeinated, these days we've got
options. Gone are the days of picking only between a cup of decaf or
regular. Now we're faced with an array of coffee beans that come from all over the globe, a handful of specialized ways to brew a regular cup of coffee,
and enough options of espresso drinks to make your head spin. Coffee
has gotten an upgrade. And while we're not complaining, the truth is
that getting a cup of joe has gotten a little more complicated.
This
new coffee culture only means good things for us caffeine fiends, but
it also means that we need to stay on top of what's what. To help you
figure out how to order a cup in this coffee-saturated world, read on.
We've broken down the best espresso drinks, so that you can always get
just the shot of caffeine you're looking for.
One of the most popular espresso drinks, a
cappucino done right should be equal parts espresso, steamed milk and
foamed milk (about 60 ml each).
With 60 ml of espresso, 60 ml of chocolate and 30 ml of steamed milk, a mocha is a the right choice if you want something sweet.
The latte gets its name because it's full of
milk. It is generally just a 60 ml shot of espresso with 300 ml steamed
milk -- and only 2ml foamed milk.
If you prefer brewed coffee over espresso, cafe
au lait is for you. It's just a pampered cup of coffee -- calling for
warm, steamed milk in place of cold milk.
If you like the taste of espresso, but don't like
how quickly it goes you'd be happy with an Americano. It's a shot of
espresso (30 ml) with twice the amount of water (60 ml).
The noisette is one step between the machiatto and the latte. It's a big shot of espresso with half of that amount in hot milk.
With a macchiato you get a shot of espresso (or sometimes two) with just a dot of foamed milk.
A small shot of caffeine -- but more than enough to get the job done -- usually about 30 ml.
