Aren't we all really addicted to coffee? We can't imagine starting our day without a much-needed dose of caffeine. A mug of freshly brewed coffee is the best way to start the day.

Even it's enchanting aroma is enough to awaken our dull senses. It really gives us a headstart to start our day.

Well, we need a dose of caffeine in our hectic schedules to keep up the energy for our tiresome routine. Well, all thanks to Starbucks and coffee cafe day which saves us from the hassle of missing one.

There are several ways in which coffee can be prepared and presented.

Well, if you are someone who is still stuck with old plain black coffee then you need to expand your horizon because you can prepare a coffee in over thirty ways.

But here are some most common coffee are listed which are loved worldwide:

Espresso:

You can literally say that is the forebear of all coffee drinks.

It is made by forcing pressurized water over coffee beans. It is thicker than other drinks and bitter in flavor.

If you know how to make a perfect espresso you are halfway to learning to make a perfect cup of latte, cappuccino or mochaccino.

Espresso based drinks:

Double espresso

A double shot uses 14g of coffee and produces around 60 ml of espresso (about 2 liquid ounces). Double shots are now the standard in America and many places around the world.

Caffe latte

I guess this is the most prevalent espresso drink due to its rich flavor.

It is made with steamed milk and one shot of espresso. The literal meaning of caffe latte is milk coffee. It was originated in Italy.

Iced Latte

Well, the coffee world is really on development. If you are bored from drinking hot coffee drink it would be a refreshing option to have coffee in iced form.

It is made with one shot of espresso with sugared syrups and is served with ice. The espresso can be pre-chilled (sometimes as a mixture of espresso and milk) or frozen in advance to avoid warming up the drink

Cappuccino

This coffee is known for its rich creamy essence. It is made with 1 shot of espresso with one part of steamed milk and one part of foamed milk.

It is often served with cocoa powder or cinnamon to enhance its richness and flavor.

Well, it has more caffeine compared to a latte as it has less milk content.

Espresso Macchiato

The literal meaning of coffee is a stained drink or spotted drink.

It is one shot of espresso with a little milk which is foamed. So it is more intense in flavor with just a hint of creaminess.

Mochaccino

It's a perfect drink for a lazy day when you need more endorphins with your caffeine.

And nothing is better than chocolate to do just exactly that. It is made with chocolate syrup, one shot of espresso topped with skimmed milk and whipped cream for just extra creaminess.

So it's basically a caffeinated hot chocolate with foam.

Frappucino

It's a trademark brand of Starbucks in the series of iced coffee drinks. It's made with crushed ice, one shot of espresso, skimmed milk often topped with whipped care and chocolate toppings.

It's a perfect example of ecstatic drink, especially on a hot summer day.

Caramel Macchiato

This refreshing and tasty iced coffee drink is yet another Starbucks classic, and just like the frappuccino, the caramel macchiato can be prepared in as little as 5 minutes – perfect for quenching your thirst and entertaining guests.

Just add vanilla syrup and caramel to your old frappuccino and bingo yet another coffee concoction is prepared.

Americano

Well, it is a really intense drink and not everyone's cup of tea. It is made with a shot of espresso and hot boiling water.

Flat white

It's an Australian latte made with one shot espresso, skimmed milk topped with a microfoam layer.

It's prepared to reduce the foam size which could be annoying sometimes.

Cortado

This drink is somewhat between macchiato and latte as it is neither that intense nor that creamy.

It is made with one shot espresso with frothed milk just to cut down a strong flavor of espresso.
