Overview¶
Coffee drinks and recipes encompass the full range of beverages prepared from brewed coffee or espresso, including espresso-based milk drinks, filter-brewed coffee, cold preparations, and cocktails. Preparation standards vary by regional tradition and café context; the core variables are brew base (espresso or filter), milk texture, temperature, and dilution ratio. For a complete reference to individual drinks, see the linked MOCs and articles below.
Key Facts¶
- Coffee drinks divide into espresso-based (Americano, cappuccino, caffè latte, flat white, cortado) and filter-based (pour-over, French press, drip) categories
- Milk-based espresso drinks are defined primarily by the ratio of espresso to textured milk and the degree of microfoam integration
- Cold preparations include cold brew (long-steep immersion) and iced espresso drinks (espresso over ice, often with milk)
- Regional traditions produce distinct drink styles: flat white (Australasia), café au lait (France), Vietnamese iced coffee, Ethiopian buna ceremony
