Where does the word coffee come from?

Answer 1

The term coffee comes from the Arabic word "qahwah" which means coffee drink. It is generally agreed that it found its way into European languages in the 1600′s, from the Italian term â??caffeâ?? which was derived from the Turkish pronunciation â??kahvehâ?? of the Arabic word â??qahwahâ??.

Answer 2

Latte means milk in Italian. If you were to order a latte in Italy you would get a puzzled look and a glass of milk. Here in the states it's become sort of an offshoot of the cappuccino. While a cappuccino is espresso, steamed milk, and frothed milk; a latte is espresso and steamed milk.

Urban legend has it that an Italian barista in Berkeley came up with the "caffe latte" when customers said his cappuccino was too hard, so he made it with more milk, and thus the latte was born. Now there are many variations on the latte including flavors and even lattes made with bases other than espresso. When someone walks into my coffee shop and asks what's the difference I generally tell them very little except for the frothed milk on a cappuccino.
