Still confused when you request coffee house coffee?
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Don’t know the differences between espresso and Americano, latte and
cappuccino? Here is our primer for coffee house coffee.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
It starts with the fact that all coffee in a coffee house starts
with espresso.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Hopefully they use healthy organic coffee in making their espresso but you probably
have to ask for it.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Espresso is very concentrated coffee that retains a lot of
dissolved as well as suspended solids from the roasted coffee
bean.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
It is made by forcing steam (boiling water) through fine
ground coffee.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Espresso concentrates the flavors of coffee and is served in a small cup,
usually an ounce (30 cc).
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
A cup of espresso typically has between 40 and 75
milligrams of caffeine while a standard cup of percolated coffee contains about twice this much but in an 8 ounce
cup.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Thus coffee house coffee espresso is about four times more concentrated than the cup of coffee that you had a
home for breakfast.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Because espresso contains more coffee per ounce also
contains more organic coffee antioxidants if
you insist on organic for your espresso.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
But there are more varieties of coffee house coffee than just espresso and you may
find yourself confused looking at the list on the
back wall above the barista working at the espresso
machine.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Here are the derivatives of espresso that you can
typically find at your local coffee house:

AMERICANO
Americano is a coffee house coffee made from espresso and diluted with water.This goes back to the World War II era and after when GI’s who were used to Mom’s home perked or boiled coffee asked the barista to add water to their espresso to make it less strong.
Think “weak espresso.”

BREVE AND LATTE
Both of these are made with espresso and foam.
Latte is made with steamed milk and breve is made with half and half.
For latte think “coffee with milk” or café au lait and for breve think “coffee with milk and cream.”

CAPPUCCINO
Cappuccino is made with espresso plus hot milk plus lots of steamed foam.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
MOCHA
Mocha is for coffee and chocolate lovers. It is made with espresso plus chocolate syrup plus milk.All coffee house coffee is made with espresso.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
If you want your espresso made with
USDA organic coffee you probably have to ask for it.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
For those interested in strong flavor and aroma espresso is probably the
ultimate.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Likewise espresso and each other coffee house coffee made from espresso has a high concentration of the
antioxidants that give coffee much of its flavor and many
of its health benefits.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
But, if you want authentic organic coffee as the base
for your espresso, cappuccino, or mocha make
sure that you ask.
By www.BuyOrganicCoffee.org
Hope that you are no longer confused about that list of coffee house coffee at the
coffee shop.

and enjoy.
