回想起以前喝咖啡的日子,真觉得无知和愚昧。说是去喝咖啡,其实冲的是咖啡厅的装磺与Bartender.而那少少的味道其实比不上茶来得那么香的杯中物只是陪衬与籍口罢了。

但因为泡的次数多了,也就记得了一些名称,像拿铁、卡布其诺、摩卡、蓝山等,但其实有什么分别,真的是东南西北中,分不清看不懂喝不出分别。其实咖啡在国外来说喝来喝去不过就包括以下几种,当然,仅仅指的是热咖啡;也不包括台湾大师林东源的什么土豆泥加咖啡类的饮料。

CaffÈ Latte ......Espresso with steamed milk and in some shops, a small cap of foam. It has less foam than a cappuccino.In Australia: " 'Latte' gets you a _glass_ with a shot of espresso and lots of milk and some foam - half way between a flat white and a cap. Seems to have originated as the breakfast drink of Sydney commuters. Has become infinitely fashionable due to the need for brass glass holders, which only the fashionable coffee houses have (the rest of us wrap the glass in a napkin)"

CaffÈ Mocha ........ A term of no small controversy. Depending upon where you are, ordering a 'mocha' might get you a 'latte' or a cappuccino with chocolate syrup or hot cocoa. Mocha was a port in Yemen -- a major coffee-growing country located in southwest Asia at the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula -- and "it has NOTHING to do with chocolate!!!!!"

Cappuccino ......... A shot of espresso with the remainderbeing 50% steamed milk and 50% milk foam/froth. An alternative description is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk,1/3 foamed milk. But again, this depends very much on the maker. Many places use more steamed milk and less froth."Cappuccino is essentially a latte topped with milk FOAM."

Flat White............1/3 coffee,2/3 hot milk. What's different with Latte? less milk, use a cup, not the glass.

Espresso Macchiato .. Macchiato is a dash of milk or cream in espresso."

Espresso ........... A 1-2 ounce drink made in by forcing hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee beans. Typically, espresso beans are darkly roasted but this is not a requirement.Espresso RistrettoA 'short pull' (stronger) espresso. "A ristretto is an espresso made with less the water used for a regular espresso.
