LONG BLACk is similar to
Americano, but prepared in a different order
(espresso is added to water instead of vice
versa).
CAFFè LATTE is often called simply
latte. It is espresso with steamed milk,
traditionally topped with the froth created
when steaming the milk.
Ensure that the product is clean and
packed carefully (preferably in its
original carton).
LUNGO is different from an Americano.
A latte comprises one-third espresso and
nearly two-thirds steamed milk. More
frothed milk makes it weaker than a
cappuccino. A latte is also commonly served
in a tall glass; if the espresso is slowly
poured into the frothed milk from the rim
of the glass, three layers of different shades
will form, with the milk at the bottom, the
froth on top and the espresso in between.
