Your cafe order, decoded ☕
You order it every week, but do you actually know what makes each one different?
Flat white: espresso + steamed milk with a thin layer of microfoam. Silky, smooth and a little stronger tasting than a latte.
Latte: espresso + more steamed milk + a little foam. Creamier, milkier and generally a softer coffee flavour.
Cappuccino: espresso + steamed milk + a thicker layer of foam, finished with chocolate on top.
Long black: espresso + hot water. No milk, so you get much more of the flavour of the coffee itself.
Iced latte: espresso + cold milk + ice. Simple, refreshing and forever a favourite.
Hot matcha: matcha whisked with water + steamed milk. Creamy, earthy and cosy without the coffee.
Iced matcha: matcha + cold milk + ice. Fresh, creamy and arguably the prettiest drink on the table.
Now tell us are you fiercely loyal to your usual or easily influenced by the specials board?
