{No. 4} Coffee style


There are a lot of kinds of coffee. Here I introduce some kinds of coffee that I like.

Latee: In Italian latte means milk. What in English-speaking countries is now called a latte is shorthand for "caffelatte" or "caffellatte" ("caffè e latte"). The Italian form means "coffee and milk," In Italy, caffè latte is almost always prepared at home, for breakfast only. Outside Italy, a caffè latte is typically prepared with approximately 1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk.

I like it the most because it contains lots of milk and it tastes very good.

Cappuccino: The name Cappuccino comes from the Capuchin friars, who traditionally wore habits of similar colours. It is an Italian coffee drink prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed-milk foam. A cappuccino as such differs from a caffè latte in that it is prepared with much less steamed or textured milk than the caffè latte. A cappuccino is traditionally served in a porcelain cup, which has far better heat-retention characteristics than glass or paper. The foam on top of the cappuccino acts as an insulator and helps retain the heat of the liquid, allowing it to stay hotter longer.

I like cappuccino because of its foam. It is a very special feeling when you drink coffee with foam. You can try it. : )


These two types of coffee are good to test for people who have not drunk coffee before. You can try these someday. :]
