Hello! I am not a great coffee drinker. I just have a cup or two a day in the nearest coffee bar and I like espresso and latte most of all. I am sorry but I really don't know what the difference between these two kinds is. I mean I know the taste and aroma is different, but how do they make espresso and latte? Is latte just like espresso with milk?

Espresso is just coffee and nothing else is added to it. It is a strait shot from espresso machine. As for latte, milk is really used to make it. It is a mixture of an espresso shot and milk steamed to a velvety consistency.

Espresso is served immediately; this is why it is called ESPRESSO (from the Italian word for express). An espresso is made from 7 grams of finely ground coffee. The coffee is brewed during 25-30 seconds by forcing water of 95 degrees through the packed espresso (not boiling water!). The espresso should drip out of the port-a-filter like warm butter; have a creamy-brown color and 10-30 % of crema.

My espresso tip: Steam the cup before making the expresso. \r\n(I hate a cold cup)

And what about mocha? What is the difference between mocha and latte?

\r\n\r\nAs far as I know, latte is coffee with foamed milk and a mocca is a coffee with chocolate

Referred to by the French as Cafe au Lait and the Spanish as Cafe con Leche. A double-shot of espresso (about 3 ounces) mixed with about 5 ounces of steamed milk. Usually little or no foam is added to the top. Serve in a large 9 ounce bowl-shaped heavy cup.

I know that the easiest and most inexpensive way to create a true espresso experience at home is with a moka pot or stovetop espresso maker. When using a stovetop espresso maker don't use too much heat when brewing. Be slow and patient while making your coffee.

As far as I know there is also Cafe au Lait, a kind of latte but without the foam

Any coffee can produce espresso but only an espresso blend can give the beverage justice.
