This discussion needs to start with clarification. There are really two types of café latte. Most Americans will be familiar with the espresso drink that features a lightly foamed portion of milk. There is another form, principally French, that is quite simply coffee with milk. A strong cup of drip coffee is served with warmed milk and the drinker chooses their own proportions. This, of course, is very similar to the cup of Joe that is so popular in the US. Most people, however, when they ask for a latte, are expecting a shot of espresso to be involved.

First and foremost, don't be put off by people who tell you there's only one way to make a latte. Some latte drinkers prefer a relatively milk-heavy blend, with about 2 parts milk to one part latte. Others prefer double or triple shots in their lattes, making the drink more of a cup of espresso with some token milk, for all practical purposes. The principal differentiation between this drink and cappuccino, to which it is very much related, is the nature of the milk and, most importantly, the amount of foam on the head of the beverage.

Most often, a café latte has minimal foam. Some drinkers prefer more and some will request that there is no foam at all. All of these drinkers are enjoying a latte, however. Oftentimes, this drink is flavored with a shot of vanilla, which adds a delightful sweetness to the brew. No matter how you want your latte, remember that it is, indeed, your latte and you can mix it however you like. If you're making your own at home, there are a few basic things that will make it turn out good every single time you make it.

An espresso shot is traditionally 1 oz in size. Many latte drinkers will prefer the double or triple shot simply because it makes the drink taste less "milky". The milk can be steamed, if you have a machine for it, or it can be heated up and frothed with a whisk or a milk-frother. You don't need a lot of foam to make a latte, however, and what foam you have should not be stiff, as it would in a cappuccino. Your espresso shot should be added first, the milk second and what foam you have spooned onto the top last.

The coffee, espresso, and tea that Europeans sip in their cafés hasn’t changed much

over the years. But stop at a coffee house in the U.S. (there are probably two on the

next block), and that 10-calorie beverage has likely morphed into a 500-calorie

milk shake. Here’s how to keep your coffee break from turning into a Big Mac break.

Like their fast-food cousins, Starbucks and

other coffee sellers put nutrition numbers

on their Web sites, but not their menu

boards. If Starbucks did, here’s what you’d

see.

?

Latte.

A grande (16 oz.) nonfat Caffè

Latte (two shots of espresso with steamed

milk) is a bargain when it comes to calories

(160), saturated fat (0 grams), and

calcium (some 450 milligrams). But

you’ll add:

70 calories for flfl avored syrups (unless

you get no-cal, sugar-free Hazelnut or

Vanilla),

100 calories for whole milk instead of

nonfat, or

50 calories for soy milk.

If you’re not careful, your bargain can

balloon to a whole-milk Vanilla Latte

with 320 calories and 7 grams (a third of

a day’s worth) of sat fat. Oops.

Bonus: get any grande nonfat latte iced

and you’ll save about 50 calories.

?

Cappuccino.

The mix of steamed

and foamed whole milk that’s added to

the espresso supplies a grande with just

150 calories, but who needs 5 grams of

saturated fat in their coffee? Stick with

nonfat milk and you’ve got a 100-calorie

Best Bite with around 250 mg of calcium—

20 percent of a day’s worth.

?

Mocha.

Coffee is a almost a food group to most people. It gets us going in the morning, keeps us going in the afternoon, and tastes good after a fine meal.

But coffee is no longer just "coffee".. there are so many options now. Have you ever gone to a specialty coffee shop?.. It can be more complicated that getting a takeout burger! Non fat, low fat, espresso, double espresso, cappuccino, latte, low fat latte, chocolate latte.. and the list goes on, as you can add toppings.

This of course does not help the waistline any, but man it taste good. If you are unsure of what the basics are of specialty coffees, here is a quick breakdown.

Latte: dark roast coffee made with milk

Cappuccino: dark roast coffee made with steamed milk and milk foam on top

Espresso: caffeine jolt!.. concentrated dark roast espresso coffee.

Each one of the above can be altered with different roasts. So now you have to pick your roast, what type of milk or milk foam, and toppings of course!

You can make these at home, there are many machines on the market now, that will help you create your perfect cup of coffee, what ever form that is. No longer are we dependent on that old coffee percolator our parents or grandparents had, that was hauled out for Sunday breakfast!

With this new surge of coffee and coffee stores out there, there are coffee artists that will make your coffee look to good to drink. Check out the free video clip of a "Latte Artist" and you could get some ideas for impressing your friends with your new found coffee talents!

Who ever thought there would be such a thing as a coffee artist?
