Latte

Lattes slightly differ from latte macchiatos in that they contain more coffee. As we previously mentioned for the latter, the steamed milk is poured first and simply gets "stained" with espresso. Lattes, on the other hand starts with the espresso, then gets whipped milk and foam added on top. They may come in a tall glass or short, wide round cups, always with a light layer of foam on top.
