What is Cafe Latte?
Cafe latte comes from Italian coffee culture: espresso softened with steamed milk and usually finished with a thin layer of foam. It is now a familiar café drink worldwide, made with espresso and milk; at home, strong brewed coffee can stand in if you do not have an espresso machine.
The milk mellows the coffee’s bitterness, giving the drink a smooth, creamy texture and gentle sweetness. It works as a breakfast coffee or an afternoon pick-me-up, often paired with a pastry or toast. Milk provides some protein and carbohydrate, while the coffee contributes caffeine. For a lighter cup, ask for no added syrup or choose a smaller serving.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cafe Latte
How do you make a Cafe Latte?
A Cafe Latte is made by combining espresso with steamed milk and adding a thin layer of milk foam. Its smooth, milky taste comes from the larger amount of milk compared with espresso.
What is the difference between a Cafe Latte and a cappuccino?
A Cafe Latte has more steamed milk and a thinner foam layer, so it tastes milder and milkier. A cappuccino usually has a more balanced espresso, steamed milk, and thicker foam in a smaller cup.
Does a Cafe Latte contain caffeine?
Yes, a Cafe Latte contains caffeine because it is made with espresso. The amount varies with the number of espresso shots and the café’s recipe; choosing decaf espresso reduces the caffeine.
How do you make a Cafe Latte at home without an espresso machine?
You can make a Cafe Latte with strong brewed coffee and heated, frothed milk. Brew the coffee concentrated, warm the milk without boiling it, froth it in a sealed jar or with a handheld whisk, then pour it over the coffee.
How many espresso shots are in a Cafe Latte?
A Cafe Latte commonly contains one or two espresso shots, depending on the cup size and café recipe. Ask for an extra shot if you want a stronger coffee taste; it will also increase the caffeine.
Can you make a Cafe Latte iced?
Yes, an iced Cafe Latte is made by pouring espresso over cold milk and ice. It differs from a hot latte because it uses cold rather than steamed milk, so it has little or no warm milk foam.
What milk is best for a Cafe Latte?
Whole cow’s milk makes a rich, creamy Cafe Latte and generally froths well. Oat, soy, and lactose-free milks are also common choices, though their sweetness, texture, and ability to foam vary by product.
What is the difference between a Cafe Latte and a flat white?
A Cafe Latte is typically larger and milkier, while a flat white uses less milk and a fine, velvety microfoam. Café recipes vary, so the espresso-to-milk ratio and serving size are not identical everywhere.
Can a Cafe Latte keep you awake?
Yes, the caffeine in a Cafe Latte can make it harder to fall asleep, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine or drink it late in the day. A decaf latte is an option when you want the taste without as much caffeine.
How long can a Cafe Latte sit out?
A Cafe Latte made with milk should not sit at room temperature for more than two hours; refrigerate it sooner if you are saving it. For the best flavour and texture, drink it freshly made rather than reheating it.
