We are familiar with many coffee names like americano, espresso, latte, mocha, macchiato, affogato, but do you know the differences? Let's start looking at these differences briefly if you have a cup of coffee ready.

Espresso is a coffee obtained by passing high pressure water at a temperature of 90 degrees inside the coffee, which is very finely ground, compressed and dark roasted. The machine is needed because it is made with pressurized water. You can choose from the machines of Nespresso, Delonghi brands which are great. The moka pot will help you if you want to make it without the machine. One of the things you need to be aware of when brewing coffee with the moka pot is that the coffee beans should be in medium thickness.
