    Prefer a latte :). Latte means coffee with steam milk. Mocha is latte + chocolate. Don’t really know what is in capucino. And what the hell is machiato – don’t recollect seeing it in Starbucks 🙂

    Coffee – is bitter and black and leaves proof (smell) in drinker’s mouth
    Mocha – Sweet and hence tolerable for me and the only “coffee” family drink i will drink 🙂
    Latte – coffee with milk
    Capuccino – almost like shots of coffee ???

    Very good topic.:-) The other day we were walking by CCD (cafe coffee day) and the aroma reminded me of Starbucks. I love Capuccino – coffee with frothed milk.

    I mostly prefer macchiato’s and sometimes capuccino. I used to drink lattes with double shots as I found regular latte to be too milky. Macchiato is much less milky than latte.

    Starbucks and Peets both have Caramel Macchiato.

    latte — espresso with steamed milk and little bit of milk froth
    capuccino — espresso with milk froth and little bit of steamed milk
    macchiato — espresso stained with little bit of milk
    americano — espresso with hot water

    While at Starbucks I have mostly taken their “Tazo Chai”.

    At Yahoo! I frequently take Caramel Macchiato with whipped cream and have started to like it. I need to try it out at Starbucks.

    All firangis here…. no takers of Desi Duddhu or Masala Chai ???
    I was not a chai person but thanks to Urmi I now have the fortune of dipping Buttered bread into masala Chai on Sunday mornings.

    I am a Chai guy!
    I haven’t been adventurous with hot chai and I
    usually drink Tazo Chai Tea (a drink so nice they named it twice??) Latte.
    However, during summer I try various combinations of Chai some of my favorites being:
    – Tazo Chai Iced Tea Latte
    – Iced Tazo Green Tea Latte (blend of green tea, steamed milk and sweet melon)
    – Tazo Green Shaken Iced Tea (not stirred) (Chinese green tea blended with mint, lemongrass and lemon verbena, lightly sweetened and shaken with ice)
    – Tazo Green Shaken Iced Tea Lemonade (add lemonade to above)

    Chai at home. Outside I prefer a Mocha spiked with peppermint.
