I have been asked again to provide some definitions of the most popular coffee beverages:
caffe (espresso) — a small cup of very strong coffee, i.e., espresso
caffe Americano — American-style coffee, but stronger; weaker than espresso and served in a large cup
caffe doppio — double espresso
caffe freddo — iced coffee
caffe Hag — decaffeinated coffee
caffe latte — hot milk mixed with coffee and served in a glass for breakfast
caffe macchiato — espresso “stained” with a drop of steamed milk: small version of a cappuccino
caffe marocchino — espresso with a dash of hot milk and cacao powder
cappuccino — espresso infused with steamed milk and drunk in the morning, but never after lunch or dinner
granita di caffe con panna — frozen, iced beverage (similar to a slush, but ice shavings make it authentic) and topped with whipped cream
