Now when it comes to coffee, unless you’re a total coffee connoisseur, you might have experienced standing in line confused at the blackboard full of different coffee types, from iced coffees to regular hot coffees. Let’s take a look at some basic types of coffee and their differences!

Black

It doesn’t get more simple or classic as a cup of black coffee. Its actual, fancy name is cafe noir. There’s zero sugar, milk or other additions to this coffee, making the quality of the beans incredibly important.

Latte

A latte is simply a shot of espresso with steamed milk, topped with foam. Whether you prefer it plain or with a shot of flavour like vanilla, cinnamon or pumpkin spice, you can customize this light drink however you like.

Cappuccino

What is the difference between a cappuccino and a latte you might ask? It’s essentially the same thing, except a cappuccino is made with more foam than steamed milk, making it incredibly light, fluffy and airy. If you wish, you can find a cappuccino made with flavour shots of your choice and even cream instead of milk for a silkier taste.

Americano

An Americano is similar to black coffee, but it’s essentially a shot of espresso diluted in hot water. The espresso shot is always poured first, then diluted with hot water. People usually love adding milk and sugar to theirs, although it can also be served plain, just like cafe noir.

Espresso

Espresso is the foundation of most coffee drinks. There are espresso shots in lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos among others. It can either be served plain as a single shot, or doppio, as a double shot.

Macchiato

A macchiato is based in espresso, but with a topping of light, fluffy foam.

Mocha

Mocha is a beautifully chocolatey espresso drink with a light topping of steamed milk and foam. Perfect for chocolate lovers!

Café au Lait

This drink is minimal, being based on milk and a tiny bit of coffee.

Irish

The Irish coffee is made with black coffee, whiskey, sugar, and topped with whipped cream. Think Baileys. The perfect way to get a little energy and a little buzz.

Iced Coffee

Iced coffee is exactly that – coffee with ice. It’s simply an Americano with ice and a splash of cream or milk.
