A latte is espresso and steamed milk. A cappuccino adds a layer of foamed milk. An americano is espresso and hot water, intended to mimic drip coffee. Mocha is espresso, chocolate syrup, and steamed milk. A caffè macchiato is a shot of espresso with a dot of foamed milk on top. A latte macchiato is steamed milk with a shot of espresso on top.
