The Perfect Cup

Espresso
Espresso is a brewing method, characterised by a creamy golden layer called crema. It can be made in a stove-top pot or with a countertop espresso machine and is brewed under steam pressure. While the same amount of coffee is used as for a regular cup, only about 11/2 ounces of water used to brew it.

Latte Macchiato
Its name is derived from the Italian word marked. Latte Macchiato consists of steamed milk marked with a shot of espresso poured slowly over the milk foam at the side of a clear glass. This is what creates the layered effect often seen in restaurants.

Cappuccino
Its name is derived from the hooded robe worn by Capuchin monks due to its "cap" of foam. It is made of espresso with steamed milk, topped by an equal amount of foamed milk. Cinnamon and nutmeg are sometimes sprinkled on the foam.

Caffé Chocolaccino
The Caffé Chocolaccino consists of frothy cappuccino served in a tall cup and topped with whipped cream and a mound of shaved chocolate.

Caffé Latte
Like the cappuccino, the caffé latte is made with a single shot of espresso and hot steamed milk, with a dollop of foam. The steamed milk is poured at 140ƒ down the side of a cup containing the espresso. The milk and the espresso marbleize, forming a dense mixture.

Latteccino
A latteccino is made of espresso, two parts steamed milk and one part foamed milk

Caffé Mocha
This delicious drink consists of approximately equal amounts of espresso, chocolate syrup, and steamed milk. Whipped cream is sometimes used as garnish.

Espresso con panna
The espresso con panna is very simple: espresso topped with whipped cream.

Caffé Borgia
Equal quantities of Italian coffee and hot chocolate are combined and poured into cups, topped with sweetened whipped cream.
