Which beverage uses espresso and whole milk?

• A. Cappuccino
• B. Mocha
• C. Breves
• D. Lattes

Answer: (D)

The idea here is recognizing a drink that is defined by a lot of steamed milk with a touch of espresso flavor. A latte is made with espresso and a large amount of steamed milk, using whole milk to create a creamy, smooth texture and only a thin layer of foam on top. This milk-forward balance sets it apart from other espresso-based drinks. Cappuccino also has espresso and milk but features more foam and a stronger coffee-to-milk ratio, so it isn’t just espresso with milk. Mocha includes chocolate, which changes the flavor profile away from a plain milk-and-espresso profile. Breves uses half-and-half instead of whole milk, affecting richness and texture. So the beverage that uses espresso and whole milk is the latte.
