Espresso-based drinks are popular coffee beverages made using espresso, a concentrated coffee brewed by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans. The rich, bold flavor of espresso serves as the foundation for many drinks, including cappuccino, latte, and macchiato. Each drink varies in the amount of milk and foam added, creating unique textures and tastes. For example, a cappuccino typically consists of equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam, while a latte has more steamed milk and less foam. These drinks can be customized with flavors like vanilla or caramel, making them enjoyable for a wide range of coffee lovers.
