[–] Rinox@feddit.it 6 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Those terms are an American invention. As for Italy Latte = plain old milk. Can be cold or hot, it's milk Caffelatte = probably the origin of the American "latte", literally means coffee and milk, usually made and home with cold or hot milk and moka coffee Latte macchiato = big cup of milk, frothy on top, with a shot of espresso in it Caffè macchiato = espresso with a shot of milk, can be frothy permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 2 years ago* Certainly the origin of the American "latte" is the latte macchiato, because that's exactly what you receive if you order "a latte" in the US. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Interesting, thanks for the info! What is moka coffee? Mocha here means a latte with chocolate basically. Sometimes with whipped cream instead of foam. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rinox@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Coffee made with a Moka pot What you call mocha should actually be called Mocaccino, although it's more similar to what we call Marocchino in Italy. They're both derived from the "Bicerin", a drink typical of Turin. Marocchino is like a Cappuccino with powdered cocoa (mix the espresso and cocoa before pouring the milk). Mocaccino is instead made up of three layers, a layer of melted chocolate, then a layer of espresso, then a layer of frothy milk. Afaik they're not massively popular in Italy, but here in the north I see Marocchino more often than Mocaccino. PS: if you want to pronounce them correctly, "chi" and "che" are pronounced "ki" and "ke", while "ci" and "ce" are pronounced "chi" and "che". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 point 2 years ago It sounds like an American mocha is most similar to the mocaccino, since we mostly use a thick chocolate sauce for the chocolate, not cocoa powder. permalink fedilink source parent
