If you want a cup of coffee that delivers a smooth, thick finish with a concentrated dose of caffeine, you may want to treat yourself to an espresso from Mainstreet Coffee & Wine Bar. This beverage comes in a small cup and is made by running a small amount of hot water at a high pressure over ground coffee. And while this traditional version can provide a pleasant kick, this Lakeville, MN, café also offers a variety of other preparations of espresso that can add to the experience. Read on to find out what you can expect from these specialty coffee drinks.

5 Types of Espresso-Based Specialty Coffee Drinks to Enjoy at Mainstreet Coffee & Wine Bar

1. Americano

If you want the volume of a traditional cup of coffee, but with an extra boost of caffeine, consider an Americano. This drink includes the standard espresso shot, but with extra hot water for a thinner consistency. Still slightly strong, Americanos pair perfectly with sweet pastries.

2. Macchiato

Containing just a splash of milk, macchiatos are perfect for those who enjoy the consistency and strength of a standard espresso but want a smoother finish.

3. Cappuccino

specialty coffeeCappuccinos are often characterized by a distinct frothy top layer of steamed milk. This preparation combines both hot milk and steamed foam to sweeten the harsher sides of the traditional espresso drink.

4.  Breve

A breve is very similar to a cappuccino, but uses half-and-half in place of milk to create a sweeter, creamier beverage.

5. Latte

Like a cappuccino, lattes are prepared using espresso and steamed milk. However, a latte uses a higher volume of milk for a smoother drinking experience.
