latte

Foamy morning cup

A latte is espresso mixed with steamed milk, typically served in a tall glass or large cup.

The word is shortened from Italian caffè latte (milk coffee).

A latte has more milk and less foam than a cappuccino.

The term extends to similar drinks: chai latte, matcha latte.

In American coffeehouse culture, lattes often come flavored: vanilla latte, pumpkin spice latte.
