Ordering Coffee Like a Pro: The X Most Popular Types of Coffee Drinks


Now that so many alternatives are offered at every coffee house, ordering the right coffee blend to your taste might be a bit overwhelming. However, if you are familiar with different coffee types, you can place the perfect order. Red Bud Coffee & Tea has the guide for you to become a coffee pro!

1. Espresso

Espresso, also known as short black (1 shot of espresso), is a concentrated coffee beverage that is prepared in an espresso machine under high pressure. While a double espresso is stronger and more concentrated with 2 shots of espresso.

Light to dark roast coffee beans can be used to make espresso that is usually used as a base for different coffee types like latté, Americano, or cappuccino.

2. Americano

Try an Americano if you prefer the flavor of espresso but want a bigger drink. A shot of espresso and hot water are combined to create an Americano.

3. Latte

Lattes, which are among the most common espresso-based beverages, are prepared with one-part espresso, four parts milk, and a thin foam layer. You have the option of ordering it plain or with a flavor shot of your choice.

4. Cappuccino

A cappuccino is a latte that has more milk foam than steamed milk and is sometimes topped with cocoa powder. In this traditional Italian coffee type, espressos are combined with a little steamed milk to make a cappuccino, and milk foam is added on top. This is for coffee drinkers who enjoy frothy, creamy brews.

5. Macchiato

Milk foam in a small amount is typically added to espresso to reduce its strength while making a macchiato. But in most cafés, a macchiato is a sweet beverage that is just a latte with flavoring added.

To get this beverage in its traditional form, make sure to request an espresso macchiato.

6. Mocha

Mocha is the perfect drink for any chocolate lovers. A shot of espresso, steamed milk, chocolate, and a layer of foam are the main ingredients in mochas. They are an espresso-based chocolate beverage which is basically a latte with chocolate syrup.

7. Affogato

Affogato is a coffee drink with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. When poured over a brownie, the affogato is especially delicious.

8. Flat White

This Australian-made beverage is essentially a cappuccino without the froth or chocolate finish. Two parts espresso, three parts milk, and one-part froth make a flat white. The foam is what makes this beverage distinctive.
