This page’s latte is diluted espresso with 10 ml of milk. A traditional café latte is usually espresso topped with a much larger amount of steamed milk, so the drink described here is not the standard café preparation.
A traditional latte usually has more steamed milk, while a flat white is smaller and has a thinner layer of finely textured microfoam. This page’s latte is defined as diluted espresso with just 10 ml of milk, rather than a typical café latte.
Yes, a latte contains caffeine because it is made with espresso. The amount depends on the espresso used; this page does not specify how much espresso is in the serving, so an exact caffeine figure cannot be given.
A plain latte does not need added sugar, though milk contains naturally occurring lactose. Flavoured syrups and sweeteners add sugar. If you order a latte at a café and want it unsweetened, ask for no syrup or added sugar.
Yes, you can make a latte with oat, soy, almond, or another plant-based drink instead of dairy milk. The taste and foam will vary by product; the latte described on this page is made with 10 ml of milk.
Yes, an iced latte is commonly made by pouring espresso and milk over ice. The latte described on this page uses diluted espresso and 10 ml of milk, and does not include ice, so an iced version is a variation.
Latte art can disappear when the milk foam is too coarse, the milk and espresso are at different temperatures, or the drink sits before serving. Smooth, freshly textured milk helps the pattern stay visible; this page’s 10 ml milk preparation is not a typical latte-art base.
Not necessarily. A latte’s caffeine comes from its espresso, while regular brewed coffee varies with serving size and brewing method. The amount of milk changes the taste and strength perception, but does not remove the espresso’s caffeine.
No, a latte does not automatically dehydrate you. It contains fluid, and the caffeine in a usual serving does not make coffee drinkers lose all that fluid. If you are thirsty, water is still a straightforward choice.
A latte can fit during pregnancy if your total caffeine intake stays within the limit recommended for you. Its caffeine content varies with the espresso used, so ask your midwife or doctor about your personal limit and serving choices.

This version of a latte is espresso diluted with water and finished with just 10 ml of milk, rather than the milk-heavy café latte many readers may expect. It keeps espresso’s roasted, slightly bitter edge, softened by water, with a small creamy note from the milk.
Served in a small cup, it suits breakfast or a short coffee break; pair it with a plain biscuit or enjoy it on its own. It is low in calories because it contains very little milk, while still providing caffeine. For a gentler, less sweet cup, skip syrups and adjust the water to taste.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
