Why We Love Latte
When it comes to coffee, I am a bit of a snob. I love a good cup of coffee, and to me, that means a latte. I love the creamy texture and the rich flavor of a latte, and to me, it is the perfect way to enjoy coffee. I know some people like their coffee black, but to me, that is just too bitter. I prefer my coffee with a little bit of sweetness, and a latte is the perfect way to do that. I also love the fact that a latte is a bit of a treat. It is a luxurious coffee, and I always feel a bit fancy when I am drinking one. If you have never had a latte, I urge you to try one. I think you will be hooked just like I am.

This steaming process is what gives a latte its characteristic creamy texture.
