You know we’re talking about coffee. 23rd November is Espresso Day. You’ve got to espresso your love for coffee! For a coffee lover, a piping hot cup of coffee can work wonders – from having a perfect start of the day to soothing you down after a long day. And there are so many options to cater your taste buds.
But too many options can get confusing sometimes, especially when you’re new to the world of coffee. You may step into a nice cafe, open the menu and get all confused. What to order? Which coffee tastes what? What’re all different espresso names and flavours mean? Do not worry. Here’s an easy guide to ordering the perfect espresso for your different moods and taste needs.
1. Mocha
When you want to have some hot coffee with a tinge of chocolate, go for Mocha. The usual ratio of ingredients is 1/3rd espresso, 1/6th cocoa, 1/3rd milk, and 1/6th foam. The chocolate used is usually dark or milk chocolate, but there’s also another variant with white chocolate, called White Mocha. It’s usually sweeter than other variants and its strength varies depending on the amount of milk and chocolate. So if you’re looking for something light, sweet, and chocolatey, indulge in mocha.
2. Macchiato
Had a long day? Want something strong? What you need is Macchiato. It’s similar to espresso, but with a little milk. It’s essentially espresso topped with a small amount of foamed milk. Macchiato means stained or spotted; the espresso is stained with the milk foam, and hence the name. So go strong, go Macchiato.
3. Latte
The term caffe latte literally means coffee and milk. So we guess you know what it holds for you – two shots of espresso and milk. If you’re craving for a perfect cup of coffee with milk, then don’t be late, just a grab a Latte. It is generally served in a heavy, bowl-shaped cup, or a tall ceramic mug, due to its ample amount. Apart from having a classic latte, you can also enjoy different flavours like hazelnut, almond, and other nut flavours.
So this is how you order these espresso drinks. It’s all about deciding your taste and mood, whether you want a strong or a light coffee. Now that you’re a pro in ordering your coffee, don’t forget to enjoy your Espresso day. Step into Starbucks or Cafe Coffee Day in Orion Mall at Brigade Gateway for a perfect cup of coffee.
