Americano vs Latte

Compare typical café recipes. Exact ingredients, shot counts, and serving sizes still vary by shop.

Americano
Attribute
Latte

Clean and roasty

Water opens the espresso without adding dairy sweetness.

Taste

Mild and creamy

More milk softens the espresso and creates a rounder sip.

None by default

Milk is optional and added separately if desired.

Milk

Milk-forward

Uses more steamed milk than a cappuccino in a typical recipe.

Crema only

There is no milk foam in the standard preparation.

Foam

Thin microfoam

A silky surface supports latte art without a thick cap.

Shot-dependent

The number of espresso shots is the main variable.

Caffeine

Shot-dependent

Similar to a cappuccino when both use the same shot count.

Minimal by default

Water adds no calories; additions change the total.

Calories

Serving-dependent

Often higher in a larger milk serving, but recipes vary.
