WHAT IS A COFFEE LATTE?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A latte is a coffee drink made with a shot of espresso, frothed milk and a layer of milk foam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like many <\/span>caffeinated drinks<\/span><\/a> such as the cappuccino or the espresso macchiato, latte comes from Italian meaning milk. It is an excellent drink for practicing your <\/span>latte art<\/span><\/a> since there is more milk than coffee<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it is regarded as the perfect comfort drink as it can be enjoyed all year round either hot or iced and in many seasonal versions. The most famous ones are the iconic Pumpkin Spice latte and the Gingerbread latte.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, a latte is always a safe choice for those who don’t like their coffee to be too bitter or for coffee lovers looking for a decadent treat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be careful when you order it though: a latte is not the same as a <\/span>caf\u00e9 au lait<\/span><\/i>. They are two very different drinks. Let\u2019s get a closer look!<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s the difference between a latte and a cappuccino?<\/span><\/h3>\n

You’re now probably wondering what the difference is between a latte and a cappuccino?<\/span><\/p>\n

While they both contain the same amount of espresso and foam on top, the difference between a latte and a cappuccino lies in the amount of milk they contain: while a latte can contain up to 36cl of milk, a cappuccino only contains 27cl of milk.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s the difference between a latte and a latte macchiato?<\/span><\/h3>\n

You may also be wondering what\u2019s the difference between a latte and a latte macchiato.<\/span><\/p>\n

The latte macchiato will traditionally show off its three distinctive layers of milk foam, hot milk and espresso in the glass. The latte will also taste more caffeinated and less milky than the latte macchiato but you can always choose to make it with a single or double shot of espresso. It\u2019s all a matter of taste and aesthetic!<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
