Everywhere you turn -- from Starbucks to Dunkin' -- lattes are being advertised. Classic, iced, mocha or even seasonal flavors like the pumpkin spice latte showcase this delicious espresso drink in endless varieties. Yet, in its basic form, a latte is a delicious classic crafted espresso drink that never goes out of style. While many of us enjoy ordering our favorite lattes, few stop to appreciate what ingredients make up this drink and how the unique art of crafting one plays into the final result. Before you order your next latte, we'll answer all of your "what is a latte" questions and explore the creation process. Whether you make lattes at home or order them while on the go, you'll soon have a newfound appreciation for this beloved espresso drink.
What is a latte?

Called a latte here in the U.S., this drink originated in Italy as the caffé latte. Made with espresso and steamed milk, a latte requires only two ingredients in its basic form. Of course, modern adaptations of the drink, such as a Pistachio Latte, require additional flavorings and ingredients. Part of what makes a latte unique is the ratio between steamed milk and espresso. In most standard lattes, a 1:3 ratio is used, meaning one part espresso is used to three parts steamed milk. However, the ratio between steamed milk and espresso can vary depending on the size of the latte and who makes it.

Espresso is a delicious form of freshly brewed coffee that uses high water pressure and finely ground beans to make a concentrated shot of espresso. From here, the options are endless -- either enjoy espresso alone or use it in a handcrafted espresso beverage like an Americano or Cappuccino. Although it's delicious, espresso can quickly add caffeine content, especially if you're consuming multiple shots. In this guide, we'll explore everything you wanted about "how much caffeine is in a shot of espresso'? So you know exactly how to safely enjoy your favorite espresso without going over the recommended daily limit of caffeine.
How much caffeine is in a shot of espresso?

Two shots of espresso will put your caffeine total above one cup of coffee -- hence, where espresso gets its "jolt of energy" reputation.
