FAMOUS TYPES OF COFFEE IN THE WORLD
There are many types of coffee, but the commonly used types in our country are;
Mocha
When you hear “mocha,” you probably think of a beverage that’s a chocolate-coffee combination. But actually, “Mocha” is the name of a port in Yemen, and it is here that coffee beans from Africa are transported. So “Mocha” has to do with the origin of the coffee bean you’re drinking, not whether or not it contains chocolate.It is one of the famous type of coffee people enjoy.
Espresso
Espresso does not refer to the type of coffee bean, but rather, it refers to the way it is prepared. For coffee to be considered espresso, it needs to be made by forcing a small amount of hot water through very finely-ground coffee beans. This produces a very concentrated form of coffee.
Cappuccino
A cappuccino is a drink made with espresso as the base. The name “cappuccino” is said to refer to the frothy, peaked, white topping.
Latte
A latte is made with espresso and steamed milk without the topping.
