Great coffe guide!
I’m sorry, you put chocolate in your cappuccino? What?? Should that’s be a mocha latte there and should cappuccino be in the same location as latte?
You sprinkle it on top. Nice try.
No. Chocolate added to a cappuccino is an abomination. Go to an Italian cafe and ask for chocolate on your cappuccino and you’ll probably get a punch in the face.
If you don’t like coffee, don’t order one.
Sounds like typical italian customer service, which is why I’d rather order coffee in a country where they’re polite to tourists.
good luck trying to find that country…
Try Quebec City : )
SSHH JUST COME TO AUSTRALIA
I second that notion. To Australia!
accually we don’t really want americans here… that oprah thing was a nightmare. americans think we’re stupid because of our accent but we know better (ha)
after what i’ve heard, the japanese are REALLY good with customer service. the catch? not too many japanese speak english.
Actually cappuccino with chocolate powder right over the foam is very common. Every bar has it, you just have to ask.
But yeah, you are right. Chocolate powder is not what characterizes a cappuccino.
And yes, i’m italian
Also displayed but not labelled: glass of water, glass of milk and babychino
*babycino. also displayed: dark chocolate bar/chocolate syrup
I JUST WANT A LARGE DOUBLE DOUBLE
Don’t forget the Timbits!
Unless you’re in Country Style, in which case you NEVER ASK FOR TIMBITS. EVER.
This made me entirely to happy. I miss t-hos.
Do you put coffee in hot chocolate?
Well, I don’t haha.
No you’re right. Hot chocolates (even at a coffee shop) don’t have coffee.
“Hot Chocolate” is between “Milk” and “Chocolate.” Not “Coffee.”
I do. But then I call it a mocha, because hot chocolate with coffee is no longer hot chocolate, it’s a mocha!
First actually informative thing on graphjam ever! kudos at creator.
chocolate in cappuccino? wtf?
Also, latte and café au lait is the same freaking thing, but in a different language. The guy who did this knows nothing about coffee.
As if knowing something about coffee is a useful and desirable skill.
Depends on what business you’re in.
I think cafe au lait is the same as a flat white here and they are two different things. And I love chocolate powder on my cappucino.
Chocolate goes on top of Cappuccino
Cafe au lait can also be an americano with milk.
There actually is a difference between these two, but it depends on where you’re from. In the United States, a cafe au lait uses a dark roast/french roast drip brewed coffee (not espresso) with steamed milk. A latte is espresso, and steamed milk (with a teeny bit of foam on top, but not enough to really matter).
However, I’m totally with you on the chocolate in a cappuccino. That’s totally not normal, no matter what these people are saying. The same way that a “Caramel Macchiato” from Starbucks isn’t really a Macchiato. People probably just order a Cappuccino, and get chocolate added, and think this is standard practice.
Go to france and ask for a latte, you’ll get nothing but a weird look. Go in italy and ask for a café au lait, you’ll get nothing but a weird look. Guess why?
Didn’t I just say that they are different in the US? Anyone who is a barista in the United States sees these two things as different because they are made differently.
yeah, and what you get in Italy asking for a caffè latte and what you get in France when asking for a café au lait aren’t the same. This isn’t a ‘French “vendeur de caf锑 nor an ‘Italian “venditore di caff蔑 graph
sorry,
cafe au lait is with drip coffee, lattes are with espresso. Both with steamed milk, foam optional but usually included.
Coffee in hot chocolate? wtf?
No they’re not. Cafe au lait is 2/3 regular brewed coffee and 1/3 steamed milk. Latte is espresso shots with steamed milk and a cap of foam.
ugh. cafe au lait is steamed milk and drip coffee.. no espresso. latte has espresso and steamed milk.
It is. It’s like knowing how to make cocktails or know about wine.
I’ve worked as a barista, and yes, the only things right about this diagram are the americano,hot chocolate and au lait (which is the same thing as a latte). Cappuccino should be where latte is. If you want to get technical, mochaccinno should be where cappuccino is, and mocha latte should be where mochaccinno is. A machiatto is a somewhat complicated drink, and as there’s no circle for vanilla, it doesn’t really belong on here.
Bex, you may need to go back to barista school. Machiatto is in no way a complicated drink, it is simply an espresso with a small amount of milk. Also if you’re serving your cappucinos without any chocolate on top then you’re doing something wrong. The main difference between au lait and latte is the receptical it is poured into, the italian way (latte) should be served in a glass, and the french way in a cup. Cafe au lait is litterally coffee with hot milk, so the graph showing latte as a subset of this is very accurate.
There actually is a difference between a lattee and a cafe au lait, but it depends on where you’re from. In the United States, a cafe au lait uses a dark roast/french roast drip brewed coffee (not espresso) with steamed milk. A latte is espresso, and steamed milk (with a teeny bit of foam on top, but not enough to really matter). Nezzy is actually talking about the European way (which I had never heard of until recently… but, then, I was a barista in the United States).
You’re using the Starbucks definitions for your drinks (“macchiato” is a dead giveaway — nowhere else but Starbucks and coffee shops catering to its poor misled customers does a macchiato include vanilla). What Starbucks calls a “caramel macchiato” is actually a vanilla latte with caramel topping. Cappucinos also properly do not include a significant amount of liquid milk.
I’ve actually been in a coffee shop where I asked for a macchiato and the manager asked “Real macchiato, or Starbucks style?” (I do like Starbucks “caramel macchiatos” occasionally, but I know what they really are so I know how to order them elsewhere with proper terminology.)
Macchiato means “to mark”, a regular espresso macchiato is marking the espresso with foam ( no milk unless requested), a caramel macchiato is where the shots mark the foam and than the caramel tops the whole thing.
So it is, a variant of the classic macchiato, just geared towards people who want espresso but who can’t handle unflavored drinks.
Haha, obviously a Starbucks barista. Those aren’t real machiattos, sweetie, and even Sbuxs ones aren’t complicated unless you’re totally brain dead. Which you might be, I guess. :p
If there is coffee in it, there is water in it fool.
and yet there exists a distinction between americano and espresso. if there is foam in it there is milk in it, and if there is milk in it there is also water in it. would you like some water and lipids in your cereal?
Yes, please
As italian i’m always astonished by the number of italian terms you use when you talk about coffee
BTW why do you write “mochaccino”? It should be “mokaccino” for the “moka”, the classical italian coffee pot
it’s actually from the town “mocha” in the middle east which was renowned for its chocolate-tasting coffee grains (hence the chocolate and coffee mix).
Yeah I’d just like a coffee with a little bit of milk and sugar thankyou :I
This graph and all the above comments are why I drink my coffee black.
Where the hell’s my Irish coffee in there? I mean, there isn’t even a color designated for whiskey. THIS GRAPH IS WRONG FOR ALL KINDS OF REASONS NOT PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED.
Incomplete is not equal to wrong.
But it is wrong, I agree with Stu – leaving out Irish coffee is just wrong!
coffee without whiskey is no coffee at all
what’s this “Americano”? Is that supposed to be black coffee?
it’s just espresso and water.
Which isn’t much different than black coffee. If I want espresso, I’ll have it in shot form. No need to add water, milk, etc.
Can I just get a black coffee? I mean, I walk into Starbucks and they get confused when I say I want a medium black coffee.
And this is why I hate “trendy” coffee shops (even though I don’t drink coffee).
*blink blink*
God you lot are scary.
I think I’ll stick with orange juice thanks…
Right? Wrong? Whatever. This is the most beautiful graph I’ve seen on this site:)
Maybe but it still indicates that most popular coffe types do not consist in any part of WATER! :/
Am I really the first person to catch the pun in the title?

Oh my god, you have this down to a complete science. If only my textbooks had stuff like this!
