Ok, so we go to a local coffee house and we order cappuccinos, café mochas,
lattes and espressos. It isn't the paper cups that make these drinks taste so
good. It's the recipe and of course the prettiness factor. Baristas all have a
style of their own and every cup will taste different because of the roast, the
grind, the amount used, the water, the temperature and many other things. We
have all tried to make these coffee delights at home the way we think they are
made, but do we really know the real way they are supposed to be made to extract
the enchanting flavours correctly? Here is a quick list of how to make the basic
drinks. This is boot camp for coffee drinkers.

Cappuccino: Equal parts
of steamed and frothed milk and espresso. The milk goes on top of the espresso.
Dust with nutmeg, cinnamon or chocolate powder or shavings.

Café Mochas:
The easiest way is to use a good brand of hot chocolate, throw in a shot of
espresso and top with whipping cream and chocolate powder or shavings. It looks
the best if you put it in a tall glass and use a long handled spoon. For a
finishing touch add a saucer and a napkin. Or make a latte and toss in a
chocolate flavoured shot.

Lattes: Foam & steam milk to 140-degrees. The
ratio is 50% espresso and 50% milk. Pour the milk down the side of the cup so
it infuses with the espresso. The difference between this and a cappuccino is a
latte blends the two things together, whereas the cappuccino keeps them
separate.

Espressos: We've all had bad espresso. There are many reasons
why this is. The number one reason is an unfavorable bean. If you like
espresso you are likely a connoisseur of coffee and know what constitutes a good
bean. Anyway, to make a good espresso you must do the following:

All in all, making coffee correctly is all up to you and the way your
flavour buds react to the taste. If you like it a particular way, then make it
that particular way. However, if you have guests over they may just like the
basics. So do yourself a favor and learn the correct way to make lattes and
espressos.
