Coffee Beverage Varieties - INI

Coffee beverage varieties offer diverse options based on extraction methods, milk content, and mixing ratios. Italian-style drinks based on espresso (caffè latte, cappuccino, americano, etc.) and drip coffee-based drinks (café au lait, American coffee, etc.) are representative examples. Understanding the characteristic flavors and serving methods of each variety allows for a richer coffee experience.
