In a regular coffee maker, such as an espresso machine or drip coffee maker, a variety of types of coffee can be made using different methods and settings. Some of the types of coffee you can make include:
Espresso: A small amount of concentrated, coffee with a rich flavor that is brewed by squeezing hot water through finely ground coffee.. It is used as the base for many other coffee drinks.
Americano: It is made by diluting an espresso with hot water, creating a smoother and less concentrated coffee than a pure espresso.
Filtered coffee: Prepared in a drip coffee maker, it is obtained by passing hot water through ground coffee and a filter, producing a smooth and balanced cup of coffee.
French Press Coffee: Made by mixing ground coffee with hot water in a pitcher and then separating the grounds using a plunger. It results in a denser, fuller-bodied coffee.
Latte: made with steamed milk and espresso in a 1:1 ratio, usually with a layer of foam on top.
Cappuccino: Similar to a latte, but with more foam and less milk. It is made up of equal thirds of espresso, steamed milk and milk foam.
Mocha: A combination of espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate, usually served with whipped cream on top.
Macchiato: Espresso "smeared" with a small amount of milk or milk foam.
Cortado: Espresso "cortado" with a small amount of steamed milk to reduce its intensity.
Flat White: Similar to a latte, but with more espresso and a smaller proportion of milk, resulting in a stronger flavor.
Latte Macchiato: Steamed milk with a small amount of espresso added, creating a drink with more milk than espresso.
Coffee with milk: Coffee prepared with hot milk, in variable proportions according to personal preferences.
Ristretto: A more concentrated and stronger espresso, made with less water but the same amount of ground coffee as a regular espresso.
Lungo: A longer espresso, made by letting more water pass through the ground coffee, resulting in a larger but less concentrated cup.
These are just a few examples of the types of coffee that can be made in a coffee maker. The versatility of the coffee maker and the available settings will influence the variety of coffee drinks you can prepare.
