3. Flat White
One part espresso to two part of milk. It made its debut in New Zealand and Australia.
4. Americano
Includes two parts espresso to six parts of water. Named after american world war II soldiers in Europe who found espresso too strong.
5. Latte

6. Piccolo
One part espresso to three parts milk. A more diluted version of flat white, this is usually served in a smaller cup.
7. Cafe Mocha
One part of espresso to four part of milk and one part of chocolate powder. Coffee purists eschew this coffee with a cocoa kick.
8. Iced Coffee
One part of espresso to three parts of milk plus water and ice. To sweeten use syrup as granules won't dissolve.
