Latte

Latte200a A latte is one of those "pretty" coffee drinks. At least here at the Coffee Zone. Taisir makes his lattes 3/4 milk, a double-shot of espresso with a spoonful of foam on top. (No, we don't have any of those little sprinkle things)

Wikipedia: "In Italy, caffe latte is almost always prepared at home, for breakfast only. The coffee is brewed with a stovetop Moka and poured into a cup containing heated milk. (The Moka does not produce true espresso, but rather a double-strength coffee. Also, unlike the international latte drink, the milk in the Italian original is not foamed.)

Outside Italy, a latte is typically prepared with approximately one third espresso and two-thirds steamed milk, with a layer of foamed milk approximately 5 mm (ΒΌ inch) thick on the top.
