americano
A long coffee or an Americano is just hot water which has a shot of espresso.
cappuccino
Tip: in Italy, a cappuccino is a breakfast drink which shouldn't be ordered after 12 pm. Although don't worry, you will still get your brew if you order it at any time of the day.
espresso
Espresso is a coffee-making method which has its origins in Italy. To make espresso you need a small amount of nearly boiling water forced under pressure through ground coffee beans. You can get an espresso made with a variety of coffee beans and roasts. What makes an espresso stand out is the fact that it has a thicker consistency and has a foamy cream on top. Because of the pressurised brewing process, espresso is a lot more concentrated.
espresso tonic
Espresso and tonic or espresso tonic is a non-alcoholic mixed drink made by mixing espresso and tonic water. First recorded in 2007, the drink became popular in Scandinavia before spreading to North America, Japan, and around the world. The key ingredients are espresso and tonic water, but other flavourings may be added.
flat white
A flat white is made pretty much like a cortado, just with a lot more steamed milk on top. To recreate the perfect flat white, just add an espresso into a cup and add steamed milk over it. No milk foam, no toppings. Flat whites are popular in Australia and New Zealand so expect to see them on the menu during your trip abroad.
latte
A latte is relatively similar to a cappuccino, although the ratio of espresso, steamed milk and milk foam is different. A latte should be served in a tumbler glass, although it is now more common to see it a regular coffee mug.
