⭓ Cappuchino
Cappuccino is a latte made with more foam than steamed milk, often with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top.

⭓ Americano
With a similar flavor to black coffee, the americano consists of an espresso shot diluted in hot water.

⭓ Espresso
An espresso shot can be served solo or used as the foundation of most coffee drinks, like lattes and macchiatos.

⭓ Doppio
A double shot of espresso, the doppio is perfect for putting extra pep in your step.

⭓ Cortado
Like yin and yang, a cortado is the perfect balance of espresso and warm steamed milk.

Named after those pesky midnight flights, a red eye can cure any tiresome morning. A full cup of hot coffee with an espresso shot mixed in, this will definitely get your heart racing.

This Aussie-born drink is basically a cappuccino without the foam or chocolate sprinkle.

⭓ Affogato
Served with a scoop of ice cream and a shot of espresso, or two.
