What is Latte (Semi-Skimmed Milk)?

A latte made with semi-skimmed milk combines espresso with steamed milk, in the style of Italy’s caffè latte. The milk softens the coffee’s bitterness and gives the drink a smooth, creamy body, usually finished with a light cap of foam.

It is commonly ordered in cafés as a morning coffee or enjoyed alongside a pastry; at home, you can make a lighter-feeling cup by keeping the foam modest and skipping added syrups. The milk contributes protein and calcium, while semi-skimmed milk keeps the drink moderate in calories compared with a version made with whole milk.

Frequently Asked Questions About Latte (Semi-Skimmed Milk)

How much caffeine is in a latte made with semi-skimmed milk?

A latte made with semi-skimmed milk gets its caffeine from the espresso, not the milk. The amount varies with the number of espresso shots and the coffee used, so café servings can differ.

Is a latte made with semi-skimmed milk good for you?

A latte made with semi-skimmed milk provides protein and calcium from the milk, along with caffeine from the coffee. A plain version has no added syrup, while flavoured versions can contain extra sugar.

What is the difference between a latte made with semi-skimmed milk and a cappuccino?

A latte made with semi-skimmed milk usually has more steamed milk and a thinner foam layer than a cappuccino. A cappuccino has a more prominent layer of foam and a stronger coffee-to-milk taste.

Does a latte made with semi-skimmed milk have sugar?

A plain latte made with semi-skimmed milk has no added sugar, but the milk naturally contains lactose. Flavoured syrups, sweetened sauces or sugar added at the counter make it sweeter.

Can you make a latte with semi-skimmed milk at home?

Yes. Pull an espresso shot, steam and lightly froth semi-skimmed milk, then pour the milk into the espresso. If you do not have an espresso machine, use strongly brewed coffee, though the taste will differ.

Can a latte made with semi-skimmed milk affect your sleep?

Yes, its espresso contains caffeine, which can make it harder to fall asleep, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine. Choose decaffeinated espresso or have the latte earlier in the day.

Can you make an iced latte with semi-skimmed milk?

Yes. Pour espresso over ice and add cold semi-skimmed milk for an iced latte. Cold milk works better than pouring hot, steamed milk over the ice, which can quickly melt it.

Is a latte made with semi-skimmed milk suitable for someone with lactose intolerance?

Usually not, because semi-skimmed dairy milk contains lactose. You can order a version made with lactose-free milk instead; that changes the milk used, but it remains a latte.

Is a latte made with semi-skimmed milk actually coffee?

Yes, it is a coffee drink made with espresso and semi-skimmed milk. The milk softens the espresso's flavour, but it does not change the fact that the drink contains coffee and caffeine.

Can you drink a latte made with semi-skimmed milk during pregnancy?

Yes, but its espresso contributes to your daily caffeine intake. Count caffeine from other drinks as well, and follow your clinician's advice if you are unsure what limit is right for you.
