Today is International Coffee Day: How do you like yours?

Many countries have celebrated an unofficial day or a ‘National Coffee Day’ but now the International Coffee Organisation has decided to make an official date.

So whether you’re a cappucino kind of chap of a latte loving lady, pop the kettle on and celebrate!

Do you know exactly what’s in your favourite type of coffee?:

Espresso - A small but strong shot of caffeine, usually about 30ml.

Cappuccino - A cappuccino is equal parts espresso, steamed milk and foamed milk (about 60 ml each).

Ristretto - A ristretto is a very concentrated espresso shot, only 22ml.

Americano - If you like the taste of espresso, but are left wanting more, an Americano is a 30ml shot of espresso but with twice the amount of water (60ml).

Doppio - Doppio, meaning ‘double’ in Italian, gives you a 60ml shot rather than the regular 30ml.

Latte - The latte gets its name because it’s full of milk, generally a 60ml shot of espresso with 300ml steamed milk - and only 2ml foamed milk.

Cafe Au Lait - Cafe au lait has warm, steamed milk in place of cold milk over an espresso.

Mocha - For something sweeter, a mocha is 60ml of espresso, 60ml of chocolate and 30ml of steamed milk.

Macchiato - A macchiato gives you get a shot of espresso (sometimes two) with a dash of foamed milk.

Cafe Noisette - The noisette - somewhere between a macchiato and a latte - is a big shot of espresso with half of that amount in hot milk.
