A simple guide to the espresso menu

Many espresso drinks begin with the same concentrated coffee and change through the amount and texture of milk or water. Recipes still vary by café, cup size, and style, so the current menu is always the best guide.

Use the menu as a conversation

  • Espresso: concentrated coffee served on its own
  • Americano: espresso with added water
  • Cappuccino: espresso with steamed and textured milk
  • Latte: espresso with a larger proportion of milk
