Explore the most common types of Espresso Coffees

There are many types of espresso coffees, which are drinks made with espresso as the base. Espresso is a strong, concentrated coffee that is brewed by forcing hot water under high pressure through finely ground coffee beans. Espresso can be enjoyed on its own or mixed with milk, water, or other ingredients to create different flavors and textures. Here are some of the most common types of espresso coffees:

- **Espresso**: A single shot of espresso is about one ounce of liquid and contains about 64 milligrams of caffeine. It has a rich, full-bodied flavor and a layer of crema on top, which is a golden-brown foam that forms from the oils and gases in the coffee. Espresso is typically served in a small cup called a demitasse.

- **Ristretto**: A ristretto is a shorter, stronger shot of espresso, made with less water and finer grounds. It has a more intense flavor and less bitterness than a regular espresso. A ristretto is about 0.75 ounces of liquid and contains about 48 milligrams of caffeine.

- **Doppio**: A doppio is a double shot of espresso, made with twice the amount of grounds and water as a single shot. It has a more balanced flavor and more caffeine than a single shot. A doppio is about two ounces of liquid and contains about 128 milligrams of caffeine.

- **Lungo**: A lungo is a longer, weaker shot of espresso, made with more water and coarser grounds. It has a more diluted flavor and more bitterness than a regular espresso. A lungo is about 1.5 ounces of liquid and contains about 96 milligrams of caffeine.

- **Americano**: An Americano is an espresso diluted with hot water. It has a similar strength and flavor to drip coffee, but with more crema and aroma. An Americano can be made with any ratio of water to espresso, but a common one is one part espresso to two parts water. An Americano can be served hot or iced.

- **Cappuccino**: A cappuccino is an espresso topped with steamed milk and milk foam. It has a creamy texture and a mild flavor that balances the bitterness of the espresso. A cappuccino can be made with any ratio of milk to espresso, but a common one is one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk, and one-third milk foam. A cappuccino can be sprinkled with cinnamon, cocoa powder, or nutmeg for extra flavor.

- **Latte**: A latte is an espresso mixed with steamed milk and a thin layer of milk foam. It has a smooth texture and a sweet flavor that masks the bitterness of the espresso. A latte can be made with any ratio of milk to espresso, but a common one is one-sixth espresso and five-sixths steamed milk. A latte can be flavored with syrups, sauces, or spices for extra flavor.

- **Macchiato**: A macchiato is an espresso marked with a small amount of steamed milk or milk foam. It has a strong flavor and a slight sweetness from the milk. A macchiato can be made with any amount of milk or foam, but a common one is one part espresso to one part milk or foam. A macchiato can be flavored with caramel, vanilla, or chocolate for extra flavor.
