For a beginners guide to the wide variety of flavours and roastings available, five of the most popular coffee varieties include:
Espresso - A strong coffee brewed by forcing steam under pressure through darkly roasted, powdered coffee.
Latte - Espresso and steamed milk below a think layer of smooth, silky milk.
Mocha - Rich chocolate, espresso and steamed milk finished with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles.
Cappuccino - Espresso and steamed milk beneath a thick layer of velvety smooth milk, dusted with chocolate.
Macchiato - Espresso stained with a dollop of creamy milk froth.
