Are Lattes Strong?

Published in Coffee Strength 1 min read

Lattes are generally not considered a particularly strong coffee drink.

According to the provided reference, a latte is crafted by mixing espresso and steamed milk, then topping it with a light layer of foam. This mixing of espresso with a large amount of milk results in:

  • Creamier texture: The steamed milk adds significant creaminess.
  • Subtle coffee flavor: The high milk-to-espresso ratio dilutes the coffee's intensity. In contrast, when the layers of espresso and milk are more distinct, the coffee flavor is strong.

Therefore, a latte's coffee flavor is typically milder compared to drinks with a higher concentration of coffee.
