SO WHAT ARE THE POPULAR TYPES OF COFFEE?

- Latte
- Cappuccino
- Flat White
ESPRESSO
LATTE
Lattes are a very basic beverage. They are prepared by adding one or two shots of espresso to a cup of steaming milk, followed by the addition of foamed milk on top. Although they are frequently served hot, you may sometimes find them served cold. The milk is an excellent method to temper the strong flavor of the espresso, making this a pleasant beverage to sip at any time. The practice of baristas creating artwork in the froth topping of lattes, known as "latte art," has gained enormous popularity in recent years. Local coffee shops frequently incorporate creative elements, and there is even a Latte Art World Championship where the winner will get a cool $2,500. That's a pricey cup of coffee!
