If I ask for a latte, and you give me a coffee with milk, I’m gonna be upset. There’s a big difference between steamed milk and just milk.
I ordered an almond joy latte and went back in asking for another drink cause it was horrible.
Turns out it was a coffee not a drink. I hadn’t had coffee in so long I couldn’t identify the lack of steamed milk. 🫤
I did get it remade as a latte and it was amazing.
Half of this are wrong though
Excuse me, but I have had a lot of tea and I can confirm that it is not coffee.
Espresso is also not coffee.
Right, a flat white is definitely not white.
A latte is also a white coffee, and most baristas are going to think you want an americano with milk.
A latte is much whiter than a flat white even, it barely has any coffee while flat white is closer to 50/50.
It’s a guide for stupid people written by stupid people. I bet they’ll call you “woke” if you order a cappuccino there.
I know everyone is here for the same thing, and we’ve all been correcting this image since it showed up five years ago, but an Americano is not a black coffee.
It is however, coffee that is black, but if I ordered one and got the other, I’d know somethings up.
Also, I really don’t know why people drink americano. To me they just taste like cigarettes, but I’m currently drinking chicory so my opinion is moot.
By “a black coffee”, do you mean drip/filter coffee? Because a caffe lungo is also a black coffee, for example
For whatever reason, at the time Italian coffee names became so popular 15 or so years ago, coffee became either super intense or a dessert. I’m old and I just want a mild coffee like I used to drink before the fashion, not a super strong one. Call me a lightweight if you want, I don’t take pride in doing stimmulants.
As an American living in Europe for over a decade, Americano is the default I have to drink when I’m out unless I go to a hipster coffee shop. The main reason being practically no one does filter coffee, but almost every restaurant has an espresso machine.
And it tastes like cigarettes because even though every restaurant has an espresso machine it doesn’t mean they clean it, and doesn’t mean their staff knows how to use it properly. Water temps too high, too much coffee grounds, over compressed, lowest quality beans. Fucking everywhere. It’s awful.
Hmm, I don’t think I’d want to buy coffee from this place
Was going to say, if my coffee shop doesn’t know the difference between coffee and an espresso, I’m not buying a coffee from them.
Espresso is coffee. And it’s not like they’re making the advertisement for themselves lol
In the same way that prime rib is ground beef
I’m not sure your comparison works
TeaSoupI prefer the Spanish names.
Americano - half coffee half water.
Solo - just coffee.
Cortado - coffee with a “cut” of milk.
Cafe con leche - half coffee half milk.
Leche manchada - milk “dirtied” with a dash of coffee.Then expresso and all the other bullshit.
Fr, the amount of times I found myself having to say “just half coffee half milk” because I forgot the fucking dumb nonsensical name…
For all you coffee snobs hear me this!
Affogato!
Get a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Pour a shot of espresso over it. Heaven!!As a (somewhat) coffee snob, I can confirm, this is heaven.
This is gonna make a lot of Europeans mad.
Source : am french. I love me some Americano, but the default here is the espresso. You can also get a “long espresso” which is basically a diluted espresso, and is still not the same as an Americano (and this is where my coffee knowledge stops, so I’m not sure what the differences are exactly). I also have some Italian family and they would probably disown me if I said that the Americano is the “default” black coffee
But an espresso is strong coffee and not neccessarily miniature…
A more apt description would be “Concentrated Coffee” lol
And an Americano is a watered-down espresso. That said, it tastes identical to coffee to me but I don’t drink the shit so…
Well, it’s supposed to taste like instant coffee as found in WW2 rations for Americans, hence the term.
Do you drink double-quad espresso shots or something?
They’re definitely miniature compared to a cappuccino or and americano.
I thought flat white and latte were synonyms and they both meant milky coffee. Now I’m confused, so it’s just the foam?
Flat white is always made with some milk foam on top, traditionally less than a Latte.
So the difference should be in the ratio of coffee to milk to froth, which is also true of other varieties like cortado.
Quality shitpost.

This is just bacon style marketing.
Americano cafe negro ultra rebajado
They forgot to list the Jackson, which is a coffee that starts out Black but turns White
