How many times has this happened to you? You walk into a coffee shop thinking of trying something new, look into the delightful menu and to your surprise don’t know what is the difference between Mochaccino and Macchiato, Au Lait and Latte, Espresso and Americano and probably end up ordering something you had before.

This nice little infographic should provide you with valuable info on the different types of coffee served worldwide and help you choose a different kind of coffee next time.


Corrected Coffee Venn Diagram

For those who are not accustomed to Venn diagrams:

  • Americano = Coffee + Water
  • Au Lait = Coffee + Milk
  • Cappuccino = Coffee + Foam (more) + Milk (less)
  • Espresso = Coffee
  • Hot Chocolate = Chocolate + Milk
  • Latte = Coffee + Milk (more) + Foam (less)
  • Macchiato = Coffee + Foam
  • Mochaccino = Coffee + Chocolate + Milk + Foam

Note: The above infographic is an editted version, as in the original one (vennoid.com), Mochaccino and Cappuccino were wrongly labelled.

a good,casual but very interesting and informative topic...cant explain this in an even simpler way..

Just five basic ingredients, but countless combination! Mathematically:

5C1 X 5C2 X 5C3 X 5C4 X 5C5 number of combinations! Right Nimal? We can start our own Cafe Arabia now !!

@ Harish

The combinations are wrong! Since coffee is a must, we are left with only four ingredients, which gives us 4C1 x 4C2 x 4C3 x 4C4 combinations.

But Cafe Arabia is a really nice name.

Harish

Haha...Abduu...my argument still holds: Cafe Arabia. So dates are an option too!
Yes..cafe Arabia, but its first branch will be inaugurated at Mambaram. You need to get freshest of the dates available--i'll arrange coffee!!

@ Harish

The best and freshest dates are ready!

Harish

will they remain "ever-fresh".. till you get them here?

Hi Nimal,

Followed your link from a comment on my blog (thebeanstalker).

I think the chocolate in a cappuccino may refer to the chocolate powder which is served on top of cappuccinos in many countries.

@ Nathan

I highly doubt that possibility because the Venn diagram clearly mentions hot chocolate and I strongly believe it is not chocolate powder that is being referred here. Only if we could clarify it with the creator of the Venn diagram what he really had in mind. :-)
