Mondo Gastronomy Updated on 2024-02-17

For a long time, everyone will habitually compare Australian white with latte, eh! Have you forgotten that there is also a classic cappuccino? So in this article, we will take out these three coffees and make a comprehensive comparison!

Latte comes from the Italian word for milk (latte), and when espresso is added, it becomes the popular café with milk. Because milk accounts for a lot of coffee, it reduces the strength of the coffee, so latte has become the first time that most friends have come into contact with and tried Italian coffee. It can be said that a latte for all ages is the first step for everyone to start stepping into the coffee world!

Cappuccino is derived from the color of milk foam and concentrate, much like the dark robe worn by monks, so people at the time named the coffee cappuccino after the name of the costume. Although cappuccino and latte are the most popular milk coffees, latte is not a coffee drink unique to Italy, while cappuccino is an authentic espresso.

The original name of Flat White is actually Flat White, which is a local specialty formed after the introduction of Italian coffee to Australia. Australian baristas have studied and improved the original Italian system, and improved it into a cup of coffee that suits the taste of local Australians. There has always been a lot of controversy about the size of the cup of Australia and Belarus, and different places have different understandings of it. Until recently, everyone almost assumed that Aussie was a small cup of coffee.

The essential difference between the three types of coffeeFirst, the size of the cup

Let's start with the large amount of cups**, in terms of the production standards of the previous street, the cup volume of latte is the largest of the three cups, and the use of a 300ml capacity of wide-mouth ceramic cups (the wider the better!). If you don't believe it, try a large bowl), the cappuccino is a 240ml narrow-mouthed ceramic cup, while the Australian white is the same 240ml narrow-mouthed glass.

Second, the composition of coffee

The latte is made up of 40ml of double espresso plus 260ml of steamed milk and milk foam; Cappuccino is also made up of 40ml double espresso, plus 170ml of steamed milk and thick milk foam; Slightly different, it uses a double espresso (30ml) with only the front and middle sections, plus 190ml of steamed milk and thin milk foam.

3. Thickness of milk foam

The thickness of the milk foam has always been an important feature of these three coffees, and it is especially emphasized in both tutorials and coffee-related books.

Among the three, the milk foam of Aussian White is the thinnest one, only 0About 3 cm, when the liquid level is basically level with the cup after pouring, it is also named "flat white coffee";

After being stripped of the thinnest title of latte, it can only come to the middle position. 0.The thickness of about 5 cm is very suitable for latte art, smooth and high integration;

The cappuccino is the thickest one, about 1The thickness of about 5 centimeters gives us the characteristic of "11 points full", which means that the milk foam of the cappuccino will be higher than the cup, giving us a "burger-like" shape when simmering in a dark roast. (Front Street used a glass to make a more intuitive comparison).

Fourth, taste differentiation

All three types of coffee are actually milk coffee, and they are coffee drinks that are born by mixing espresso and milk. But the essence of their embodiment is not the same.

For example, latte dominates by using a lot of milk to neutralize the bitterness of the coffee in order to present a soft cup of coffee. The taste of milk will be more prominent, but not abrupt, because the flavor of the coffee and the milk can be perfectly blended, and the taste of each other will not be overshadowed by each other, which also makes the latte very popular. The cappuccino mainly highlights a creamy and full-bodied mouthfeel, thanks to the rich and delicate milk foam of the milk, which appears exceptionally smooth and smooth when mixed with coffee. Its coffee flavor will be greater than that of latte, because the cappuccino uses less milk and does not dilute the coffee concentrate too much, so it will be relatively strong, which is more suitable for people who rely on coffee to refresh themselves. If you want to drink a cup of sweeter and fuller coffee, the first choice must be Aobai! As long as the concentration in the first and middle stages of the extraction is almost no bitterness, a small amount of milk at a moderate temperature is just to better bring out the sweetness of the coffee, which is very sweet and full-bodied! But not bitter! This is also one of the reasons why it has become a star product in the past two years

It is worth mentioning that in the traditional practice of these three coffees, only the latte has the iced style, and the other two are only the hot ones. Although there is a product of iced cappuccino on the market, it was developed by later people in order to meet the needs of consumers to have more choices. So why hasn't anyone been developing a style of ice for Aussio? It's probably because there's already drity in the ice style to replace its function.
