Latte: Derived from the Italian phrase caffè latte (meaning 'coffee and milk'), this popular espresso-based beverage consists of a single or double shot of espresso combined with a generous amount of steamed milk—typically in a 1:3 to 1:5 ratio—and topped with a thin, silky layer of microfoam. It is characterized by its mild, creamy flavor profile, where the sweet steamed milk heavily balances the intensity of the espresso.
