Other Coffees

I am often amazed at the amount of different Coffee that is now available and am often confused as to what they are, and exactly what ingredients they contain. Here are some of my favourite and not so favourite coffee drinks with a description of what they are, and how they taste-

Frapacinno-
This is basically a creamy coffee slush. It is a cup full of crushed ice filled with milky/creamy coffee and is generally drank through a straw. My first taste of this was lovley, almost like a Baileys but by half way down the cup I felt almost sick, it was more like a cup of coffee that had been left to go cold.

Baileys Latte-
Served at my local restarunt this is a glass filled with a creamy latte (milk with a shot of expresso) and laced with Baileys Irish Cream. It tatses devine. It has a lovley creamy coffee flavour with a slight kick from the Baileys. I am unsure how many places serve this drink but as its easy to make I dont see it being a problem. I would highly reccommend it.

Mocha-
Mocha is a cup of steamed milk with a shot of expresso and added chocolate. It tastes pretty much as it sounds, chocolaty coofee, very sweet and rich. I really enjoy thus one, a really nice drink.

Caffe Latte-
This is a cup of steamed milk with one shot of expresso. Ratio of milk to coffee is 4:1. Tastes really nice

Macchiato-
This one confused me. It is basically the same as above only with more expresso. A cup of steamed milk with added shots of expresso, ratio of milk to coffee is 3:1. This one is a bit too strong for me.

Americano-
This is a shot of expresso with a small amount of milk and water added. A bit like a watered down a bit expresso. Not my personal favourite.

Overall-
I love coffee and think all the new varieties available are great.
I do think though, coffee is one of those things you either love or hate.
