Espresso was invented in Italy and is the most common way coffee is made in Southern Europe.

It’s one thing to have an espresso, but there are other things you can do with it.

Café Americano, literally a Spanish term for American coffee, is weak or diluted espresso. Comes from a disparaging 1950s Central American phrase for what was believed to be coffee the way Americans liked it.

Cappuccino is espresso with steamed milk foam. From the brown color that is said to resemble the brown hoods of the Friars Minor Capuchins.

Latte, short for caffè latte, Italian for milk coffee. Or, for the sophisticated crowd, café au lait, French for coffee with milk.
