ESPRESSO-BASED, WITH WATER

Once the espresso is extracted, the basis of most coffee drinks, add water or milk to the coffee to create different types of drinks.

•Americano style coffee is made with espresso (normally several shots), topped with hot water to give a similar strength (but different flavour) to a filter coffee machine

•Long black is similar to Americano, but prepared in different order (espresso is added to water instead of vice versa)

•Lungo is different from an Americano. It is usually a double shot of espresso run through the machine; all the water runs through the beans, as opposed to adding water.

•Ristretto is an espresso made with less than the usual amount of water, filling a small espresso cup half-full of very strong coffee.

ESPRESSO-BASED, WITH MILK

•Cappuccino comprises equal parts of espresso coffee, milk and froth, sometimes sprinkled with cinnamon or powdered cocoa.

•Caffè latte or caffè e latte is often called simply latte, it is espresso with steamed milk, traditionally topped with the froth created when steaming the milk.

A latte comprises one-third espresso and nearly two-thirds steamed milk. More frothed milk makes it weaker than a cappuccino. A latte is also commonly served in a tall glass; if the espresso is slowly poured into the frothed milk from the rim of the glass, three layers of different shades will form, with the milk at the bottom, the froth on top and the espresso in between.

•Mocha is a latte with chocolate added.

•Caffè macchiato — macchiato meaning 'marked' or 'spotted' — is an espresso with a little steamed milk added to the top, usually 1–2 oz, sometimes sweetened with sugar or flavoured syrup.
