An espresso drink that consists of espresso, steamed milk, and foam. In a latte there is a greater percentage of steamed milk than foam.
What sets a latte apart from other coffee drinks is the ingredients and the preparation process. A typical latte is made with six to eight ounces of steamed milk and one shot of espresso. Larger lattes are often made with a double shot of espresso. The beverage may also be topped with foam for both flavor and presentation. A latte is similar to a cappuccino, but it has less foamed milk and more steamed milk.
