When it comes to morning routines, coffee is the first priority for most people, including myself! But if your drink of choice is anything beyond basic drip coffee<\/a>, the cost of treating yourself to a morning espresso drink can add up.<\/p>\r\n

We have good news: You can learn how to make a latte<\/a>\u2014aka one of the most popular coffee drinks<\/a>\u2014at home and save hundreds of dollars throughout the year. Plus, you can stay in your pajamas and still have a warm, coffee-shop-worthy latte in your hands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What Is a Latte?<\/h2>\r\n

A latte consists of espresso, steamed milk and a thin layer of foam on top. Because it's about 1 part espresso to 3 parts steamed milk, it ends up feeling like a much creamier drink than a cappuccino (which has more foam than milk). As one of the simpler espresso drinks, it's a great one to try at home even if you don't have an espresso maker<\/a>. You can also add a flavored syrup\u2014chocolate, hazelnut, caramel\u2014to kick it up a notch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Cappuccino vs. Latte<\/h3>\r\n

A cappuccino is similar to a latte, with less steamed milk and more frothed milk. A traditional Italian cappuccino will have a 1:1:1 ratio of one shot of espresso to equal parts steamed and frothed milk. They are traditionally 8-oz drinks, so a large cappuccino will actually end up being a latte.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Macchiato vs. Latte<\/h3>\r\n

Macchiato, which means \"stained\" in Italian, is an espresso with just a dash of foamed milk. The name refers to the way the milk stains the color from a deep black to milky brown. The macchiatos that a lot of people know nowadays have a much higher milk ratio, but that would more technically be known as a latte macchiato.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Flat White vs. Latte<\/h3>\r\n

A flat white is an Australian drink that is very similar to a cappuccino, but without the foam. A flat white is espresso and steamed milk, and it tends to be slightly smaller than a latte.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
