An americano in a white cup, with a thin ring of crema still sitting on the surface

Americano

A double espresso lengthened with hot water. The order you pour in decides whether the crema survives, and the water temperature decides whether it tastes flat.

A cortado in a small glass, a heart poured into the surface

Cortado

A double espresso cut with the same volume of warm milk, served in 120 ml of glass. Balance rather than foam, and the shortest milk drink worth ordering.

A caffe latte in a tall glass, the espresso layered under steamed milk with a heart poured on top

Caffe latte

A double shot under 200 ml of steamed milk, with one second of air. The longest of the milk drinks, and the one that needs the biggest shot.

An espresso macchiato in a white demitasse, one dollop of foam marking the crema

Espresso macchiato

A double espresso marked with a spoon of dense foam. Two ingredients, 40 grams in the cup, and the milk is punctuation rather than a drink.
