Straight espresso

Straight espresso comes in different quantities based on how much bitter flavor you want. The smaller shot is typically the least bitter.
Ristretto
A 0.75-ounce shot. This shot is the least bitter tasting and is common in Europe.
Single
A 1-ounce shot.
Lungo
A 1.5-ounce shot. This is also called a long shot.
Double
A 2-ounce shot.

Americano

Sometimes called the Long Black, the Americano, which is 1 - 2 shots of espresso mixed with 6 - 8 ounces of hot water, is a milder coffee drink. Traditionally, Americano drinks were equal parts of coffee and water. However, modern coffee shops typically serve Americano drinks with 2 -3 times more water than coffee.

Cappuccino

The traditional cappuccino is made with 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and 1/3 finely whipped milk foam. However, in the United States, cappuccino drinks are made with much more foam than the drinks served in Europe. You can also top the cappuccino drink with cocoa powder.

Espresso con panna

Con panna means with cream. Similar to the macchiato, this beverage is a shot of espresso with a small amount of foamed cream instead of foamed milk on top.

Latte

A latte drink, which is an abbreviation of caffellatte or caffè e latte, has one shot of espresso mixed with 6 - 8 ounces of steamed milk and topped with milk foam. Larger or stronger latte drinks have 2 or 3 shots of espresso.

Macchiato

This beverage is a shot of espresso with a small amount of foamed milk on top.

Mocha

A mocha is the same as a latte except that you add chocolate syrup.
