LatteTemplate:Efn (Template:IPAc-en)[1][2] or caffè latte (Script error: No such module "IPA".),[3][4] also known as Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang"., is a coffee drink of Italian origin made with espresso and steamed milk, traditionally served in a glass.
The term Script error: No such module "Lang". comes from Script error: No such module "Lang".[5] or Script error: No such module "Lang".

Definition and etymology

A caffè latte consists of one or more shots of espresso, served in a glass (or sometimes a cup), to which hot steamed milk is added.[6] The difference between a caffè latte and a cappuccino is that the cappuccino is served in a small Script error: No such module "convert". cup with a layer of thick foam on top of the milk, and a caffè latte is served in a larger Script error: No such module "convert". glass (or cup), without the layer of thick foam.[7] Thus, a caffè latte is much milkier than a cappuccino, resulting in a milder coffee taste. The way the milk is steamed for a caffè latte results in very fine bubbles being incorporated in the hot milk. This microfoam can be poured in such a way as to form patterns in the white microfoam and brown crema (latte art). The texture of the microfoam changes the taste and feel of the drink.[8]
A similar drink is the Script error: No such module "Lang"., which is also served in a glass, but the espresso is added to the glass after the steamed milk.[6] In Italy, milky coffee drinks such as caffè latte, Script error: No such module "Lang"., and cappuccino are often prepared for breakfast only.[9]
In the United States, a latte is often heavily sweetened with 3% sugar (or even more). These sweeteners usually come in the form of refined white sugars, artificial sweeteners or agave syrup.[10]
Etymology
The term Script error: No such module "Lang". is first attested in English in 1867, in William Dean Howells's "Italian Journeys".[11] As this preceded the spread of espresso machines, it would not have been made with espresso coffee and steamed milk.

Origin
The drink is thought to have "technically originated" in 17th-century Europe.[12] In William Dean Howells' "Italian Journeys", he notes that he was served the beverage on a steamship when traveling from Trieste to Venice.[13]
The modern caffè latte appeared in the 20th century, following the invention of the espresso machine in the 19th century.[14] This was made possible by the addition of the steam wand to the espresso machine in 1903, which made it possible to add heat and texture to milk added to coffee.[15]
