A latte or caffe latte is a popular espresso-based coffee drink around the world.

A latte is simply steamed milk and at least 1 or multiple shots of espresso.

Most coffee shops use a double espresso shot in a 16 fl oz latte while smaller sizes may only contain 1 shot for a total of 77 mg of caffeine.

If you aren't sure what your local coffee shop does, ask your barista.

The listing above reflects a latte made with a double shot of espresso (3 fl oz) and 10 fl oz whole milk (milk expands when steamed)

Note: There are many factors that can influence the caffeine content of a latte. The above is an average amount, but could actually be much lower or much higher.

The Anatomy of a Caffe Latte

A great latte starts with a perfectly pulled shot(s) of espresso. This means quality coffee beans were finely ground and packed properly. The shot is stopped before the crema turns white (blonding).
The steaming of the milk is also important. Steamed milk for a latte should be velvety smooth with tiny air bubbles. .
The steamed milk is then poured into the espresso slowly in a fashion that sends some of the crema to the top of the cup.

Skilled baristas can even create beautiful designs with the correct pour method.
