Caffè Americano, or Americano is a style of coffee prepared by adding hot water to espresso, giving a similar strength but different flavor from regular drip coffee. The strength of an Americano varies with the number of shots of espresso and the amount of water added.
In the United States, “Americano” is used broadly to mean combining hot water and espresso in either order, but in a narrower definition it refers adding water to espresso (espresso on the bottom), while adding espresso to water (espresso on the top) is instead referred to as a long black.
A cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed-milk foam.
The name cappuccino comes from the Capuchin friars, possibly referring to the colour of their habits or to the aspect of their tonsured heads, surrounded by a ring of brown hair.
A caffè mocha or café mocha is a variant of a caffè latte. Like a café latte, it is typically one third espresso and two thirds steamed milk, but a portion of milk, dark or white chocolate is added.
