Introduction
The most popular types of coffee beans in the world are Arabica and Robusta. As the name suggests, Arabica is from a genus of plants called Coffea arabica. This is the coffee you will find in most coffee shops, as it has a milder flavor than Robusta. Coffee beans from Coffea Robusta trees have more caffeine content than those of Coffea arabica; hence they tend to have a more robust flavor but less acidity, which some people will enjoy more. But this article will discuss the coffee drinks you can purchase at your local cafe.
Espresso
Espresso is made from finely ground coffee, brewed at high pressure to extract the flavor. This produces a strong and rich flavor in a small cup (the same size as a single shot of espresso), often with a foam layer on top.
Americano
Americano is a short shot of espresso and hot water. The shot of espresso is more significant than in an Americano, but the ratio of hot water to espresso is more significant than in a Lungo or latte. This may be for you if you like strong coffee with some milk. In Italy, it's known as "espresso americano." In Spain and Portugal, it's known as "cortado" (from "cut"). A "Long Black" is a shot of espresso with hot water added. It's similar to an Americano, but with more hot water. The ratio of espresso to water is usually about one to one.
Latte
A latte is a coffee drink made with espresso and steamed milk and often served in a tall glass. Arabica and Robusta coffee bean varieties are the most widely used., but it should never be served frappéed (unless you're at Starbucks). The word comes from the Italian word for "milk." It's the same root as lactation! As soon as you hear the word "latte," you know what kind of drink to expect: creamy goodness.
Latte is one of those words with two meanings: one in which it's a coffee drink, and another where it's a person's name. If someone asks you if you want to go out for a latte, don't be offended. They're just asking if you want coffee.
A latte is a delicious, creamy coffee drink that can be served hot or cold. It's typically made with espresso and steamed milk, but some places use foamed milk in their lattes.
Cappuccino
Cappuccino is a classic drink that's been enjoyed for centuries. The recipe calls for a double shot of espresso, steamed milk, and foam. You can serve it in a cup or a glass. The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings. Depending on your mood and taste buds, you could top it with cinnamon, cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings. Or perhaps you want to add sugar or sweetener like honey to give your cappuccino an extra kick.
If you're looking for a tasty drink that will give you the energy boost you need to get through your day, look no further than the cappuccino.
Macchiato
A macchiato is a short drink, meaning that it's served in a demitasse cup. Like the cappuccino, it starts with an espresso base. However, instead of adding a lot of milk to make a creamy drink and give it some weight, you only add enough milk to leave tiny marks on the surface of the espresso. This makes for a lighter yet still satisfying beverage.
Macchiato means "marked" in Italian, which refers to those little marks on your cup so if you're ordering one at Starbucks and someone asks what sort of beverage you'd like, they might say, "I'll have an Americano with extra foam."
Mocha
Mocha is a coffee drink with espresso, hot chocolate, and milk. The name comes from the Spanish word "muddy" because its color resembles cocoa powder. It's often served in small cups and a dollop of whipped cream on top. This was one of the first coffee beverages to become popular in the US. There are many variations on this theme: hot chocolate mochas, white chocolate mochas, peppermint mochas...the list goes on!
This is a trendy coffee drink, especially in the summer. It's also easy to make: add hot chocolate mix and milk, then drop an espresso shot into the cup. You'll need to stir it so that all ingredients are evenly distributed. If you want extra flavor, try adding some sugar or cinnamon.
Flat white
A flat white is a type of espresso drink. It's similar to a latte, but the milk is steamed for less time, so you get a slightly lighter, more subtle coffee.
The flat white was invented in Sydney in the 1980s and became famous when it was sold at Aroma Coffee Beans on Martin Place in Sydney. The name comes from its traditional shape—similar to a small bowl—and the appearance of milk foam "laid" on top of the drink like icing on a cake (in contrast with an even layer of foam).

Conclusion
Coffee is a beautiful fuel for productivity. Whether you prefer to drink it black or with cream and sugar, the benefits of coffee are well-known now.
It's no secret that most people drink coffee to get through the day, but some still don't understand just how important it is for their daily lives. If you haven't tried any of these types, go out today and try them all! You might be surprised by what kind suits your tastes best.
