Sweet Memory

Every time when I go to Starbucks, I will order Caramel Macchiato. (焦糖瑪奇朵) Caramel means scorched sugar which is put on Macchiato meaning mark in Italian. How beautiful the name is, and so does it taste.





However, it is different from its name, the origin is very simple. It is said that a coffee maker always forgot the coffee was made for whom and one day he decided use caramel to make a mark on it. Surprisingly, it became a popular coffee nowadays.

The way to make Caramel Macchiato is also simple. First, add some syrup into the bottom of the glass. You can chose to any flavor of syrup you like such as hazelnut or vanilla, and it’s up to you to add how much. Second, add three forth milk in it and other one forth foamed milk. After that, put espresso in it and mark with caramel. See, it is easy to make a cup of Caramel Macchiato.

In fact, someone said that the coffee is invented for those who are afraid of drinking espresso. As a result, they use a little milk, foamed milk, and caramel to make espresso much easier to drink.

Actually, I like Caramel Macchiato very much because espresso has more percentage in it. When you taste the bitter of espresso and the sweet of caramel, they combine together softly and make you think of some memories. It will be a kind of enjoy for me drinking a cup of Caramel Macchiato and reading a novel in Starbucks whole afternoon.


It has different flavors in both hot and cold!

Milk Fascinates with Coffee

Today, I’m going to introduce you a popular drink- Latte Coffee.





First, Latte Coffee (拿鐵咖啡) is one of coffees with milk and it is different from Café au lait (咖啡歐蕾).
Actually, Latte is Italian which means milk. Maybe someday you will have a chance to visit Italy and also want to take a break at open-air café, and then you order a cup of Latte from the waiter. The waiter probably will give you a cup of hot milk instead of Latte Coffee you want. Well, you can’t argue with him and the only you can do is to blame yourself why you forget to add the word “Coffee” after Latte. As a result, Latte just means Milk in Italy.

However, you may ask me what is Lait? In fact, Lait is French. The difference between Latte coffee and Café au lait is the quantity of milk. In common says, Latte Coffee is milk in coffee whose coffee quantity is higher. For example, when you drink strawberry milk, actually you drink milk but the flavor is strawberry.

On the contrary, Café au lait is coffee in milk. Take condensed milk and strawberry for example, coffee is condensed milk and lait is strawberry. When you eat the desert, you eat strawberry but the flavor is condensed milk.

Now, you can differ Latte Coffee from Café au lait. Also, have you ever thought about why the titles don’t have milk in it but actually both of them adding milk? Well, it is just about the names which are so local that hard to attract customers.

Below I will offer you a recipe for doing a cup of Latte Coffee easily.
First, the percentage of milk, foamed milk, and coffee is 2:2:1.
You can use espresso as base and add milk after that. If you want to drink Café au lait then you don’t need to add famed milk. An easy but good taste Latte Coffee is finish!
