Most popular types of coffee and how they are prepared.

Coffee can be enjoyed in various forms around the world. Here are some popular types of coffee beverages:

  1. Espresso: A concentrated coffee brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water through finely-ground coffee beans. It forms the base for many other coffee drinks.

  2. Americano: Made by diluting a shot of espresso with hot water, resulting in a similar strength to drip coffee but with a different flavor profile.

  3. Cappuccino: Consists of equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam, often topped with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon.

  4. Latte: Made with espresso and steamed milk, typically in a 1:3 to 1:5 ratio of espresso to milk. It has a creamy texture and is often topped with a small amount of milk foam.

  5. Macchiato: Espresso "stained" or "marked" with a small amount of frothed milk or milk foam.

  6. Flat White: Originating from Australia or New Zealand, it's similar to a latte but with a higher ratio of coffee to milk and a velvety texture.

  7. Mocha: A chocolate-flavored variant of a latte, made with espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate syrup, often topped with whipped cream.
