Can I Get a Latte?

You walk into a coffee shop and the first thing you see is a drink menu with a whole bunch of words you may or may not understand (it’s okay, we’ve all been there, I promise). There’s probably a latte, cappuccino, cortado, and macchiato listed—to name a few. You don’t really want to ask what the difference is between a cappuccino and a macchiato, but you also don’t want to get something you don’t like! Fear no more, this is an all-you-need-to-know guide to ordering your perfect caffeinated drink.

The latte: A classic staple in the coffee business. It’s an espresso-based drink with lots of milky goodness and topped with an extra “mmph” of milk foam. If you’re not too keen on a super-strong espresso flavor, I recommend trying this!
