Espresso
A concentrated coffee made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans. It's strong, intense, and served in small shots, typically around 1 ounce (30 millilitres).
Recommendation: 3oz
Macchiato
An espresso "stained" with a small amount of frothy milk or milk foam, giving it a slightly softer flavour while still retaining the intensity of espresso.
Recommendation: 3oz
Ristretto
Similar to an espresso but with even less water, resulting in a shorter shot that's even more concentrated and intense. Often preferred by those who enjoy a bold coffee flavour.
Recommendation: 3oz
Cortado
Equal parts espresso and steamed milk, creating a balanced and creamy coffee with a strong espresso flavour. Typically served in a small glass.
Recommendation: 6oz
Flat White
A velvety-smooth coffee made with a shot of espresso and steamed milk, with a thin layer of microfoam on top. It's similar to a latte but with a higher coffee-to-milk ratio.
Recommendation: 6oz
Cappuccino
Equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam, creating a frothy and airy texture with a bold coffee flavour. Often dusted with cocoa powder or cinnamon for added flavour.
Recommendation: 6oz
Latte
A coffee drink made with a shot of espresso and steamed milk, topped with a small amount of milk foam. It has a milder coffee flavor compared to a cappuccino or flat white.
Recommendation: 8oz
Long Black
Similar to an Americano but with a different preparation method: hot water is added to a cup first, then topped with a shot of espresso, preserving the crema and intense flavour.
Recommendation: 8oz
Mocha
A decadent blend of espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate syrup or cocoa powder, topped with whipped cream. It's essentially a dessert in a cup for those with a sweet tooth.
Recommendation: 8/12oz
Americano
A diluted espresso made by adding hot water to a shot of espresso, resulting in a milder and larger coffee similar to drip coffee but with a more intense flavour profile.
Recommendation: 8/12oz
Venti/Grade
Very big coffees made by certain prominent coffeehouses - put a lid on and it'll last you hours!
Recommendation: 16oz
