A Visual Breakdown of Common Coffee Varieties

A coffee enthusiast demonstrates the composition of various popular coffee drinks by mixing espresso with different ratios of milk or water. The video illustrates how simple adjustments in volume and ingredients—such as adding varying amounts of milk to create drinks like a flat white or a latte, or diluting espresso to create an Americano—result in distinct coffee beverages. By pouring components into a series of glasses, the creator provides a clear, side-by-side comparison of the liquid ratios that define these common cafe staples, highlighting how subtle changes in preparation lead to different names and flavor profiles.

I'll take flat white every time

Doesn't lungo contain more coffee than espresso since the water goes through for a longer period of time. So it's not watered down

Give me an Americano glass, but fill it up with only ristrettos and add 3 table spoon of sugar, thanks.

Cool!!! I always wondered what all the different ones were it’s good to see each next “level” is just more volume of the same or more milk. Wonder why there are such different names for it. Maybe it’s just marketing stuff

When it comes to americano, the same principle works for American beer.
