Did you know that espresso is not a particular type of coffee?

Espresso is a word that refers to a method of coffee extraction. That's why it will very in taste from one coffee house to another, depending on the bean and roast that the roaster has chosen. (It's also why you need to try Maniaco di Caffé)

Here are some of the most popular espresso drinks, and how to make them;

Cappuccino
1/3 espresso + 2/3 steamed and frothed milk. Variations range from the "dry capp" made with less steamed milk and more stiff foam to the "wet capp" made with more of a wet foam consistency.

Caffee Latte
Caffee Latte us Italian for "coffee and milk". It's similar to cappuccino but with more milk. Typically, a latte is 1/4 espresso and 3/4 steamed milk with a thin layer of foamed milk on top.

Caffee Mocha
Italian for "espresso and chocolate". Espresso and chocolate and, of course, steamed milk.

Espresso Romano
Caesars favorite coffee. Straight up espresso with a twist of lemon.

Espresso Con Panna
Espresso with a dollop of whipped cream.

Caffe Americano
A perfect shot of espresso diluted with hot water to fill a mug, it's an Americanized cup of coffee, but made with espresso. If you've never tried this, do - it's quite good!
