When I say “types of coffee drinks,” I mean drinks like latte, cappuccino, americano, and others
In: Other
An americano is basically espresso ‘watered down’ to fill a larger cup. Latte, basically the same thing but with milk. Honestly you could consider nearly anything else a variation on those two (even if coffee nerds will hate it in a ‘gin is technically flavoured vodka’ kind of way).
For example a cappuccino is made with milk that has been steamed with a steam wand (that little bit you might’ve seen hanging off the side of espresso machines) and as such is foamy, a bit like a better version of blowing into milk with a straw.
On the other side, a red eye for example is basically an americano made with brewed coffee instead of water (or brewed coffee with added espresso). Even for things that might not perfectly fit like espresso macchiato (shot of espresso with a tiny bit of milk sitting on top unstirred), it’s basically all some kind of mixture of espresso, water, or milk.
