Here’s a quick guide to some popular coffee drinks and their typical ratios:
Latte (1:3 or 1:4): A lot of steamed milk, a little foam, and a single or double shot of espresso. It's the perfect choice for a creamy, mellow coffee.
Cappuccino (1:1:1): Equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and a thick layer of foam. This classic is known for its strong coffee flavor and airy texture.
Flat White (1:2): A smooth, strong coffee with less milk and a very thin layer of microfoam. It’s perfect for those who want a robust espresso flavor without the bitterness.
Cortado (1:1): Equal parts espresso and steamed milk, with no foam. This drink is all about balance—it’s strong but still smooth.
