Cappuccino vs Latte vs Flat White and More
Mystified about the differences between Cappuccino, Latte, Flat White, and other coffee drinks? It’s all explained in this great video from European Coffee Trip
Aleš Pospíšil divides espresso drinks into “Black coffee and milk coffee”
Black Coffee includes:
- Single Espresso
- Double Espresso
- Americano
- Lungo
- Filtered Coffee
Milk Coffee includes:
- Macchiato
- Cortado or Piccolo
- Flat White
- Cappuccino
- Café Latte
Pospíšil makes the point that these definitions vary around the world and are not rigid recipes. Some of the big corporate coffee companies are especially fond of using these names in new and confusing ways, as well as making up new names that sound traditional but really aren’t! (See “Frappuccino“)

Dean’s love of coffee began when he met Ellie at the coffee stand outside the London NGO where they were both interns. He likes a dark fresh ground coffee steeped in a French Press – with just a bit of sugar. He doesn’t need a coffee station, but he does love salsa.
