☕Your Guide to Coffee Shops in North Huntingdon, Latrobe & Greensburg

Attention coffee lovers!! If you're anything like me, coffee is a staple to getting your day started. It's what I refer to my kids as "mommy's go-go juice" because it helps energize me to get through the day. Being a boy mom (really just a parent in general) requires LOTS of energy. One of my favorite things to do is check out local coffee shops and try out their special coffees. Personally, I am a big fan of lattes, mochas and the occasional chai tea. 

Types of coffee and how they are typically made: 

Mochas: Ingredients: Espresso, chocolate syrup, steamed milk, whipped cream (optional) How it’s made: A shot of espresso is combined with chocolate syrup or powder. Steamed milk is poured over the mixture. Topped with whipped cream for an indulgent finish. Often garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.

Lattes: Ingredients: Espresso, steamed milk, a small amount of milk foam How it’s made: A shot (or more) of espresso is poured into a cup. Steamed milk is added, making up the bulk of the drink. A thin layer of microfoam (frothy milk) tops the latte. Variations include flavored syrups (vanilla, caramel, hazelnut) for a personalized touch.

Cappuccinos: Ingredients: Espresso, steamed milk, milk foam How it’s made: Made with equal parts of espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam. The foam layer is thicker than in a latte. Often dusted with cocoa powder or cinnamon for extra flavor.

Americanos:  Ingredients: Espresso, hot water How it’s made: A shot (or double shot) of espresso is diluted with hot water. Typically has a similar strength to drip coffee but with a smoother, espresso-based flavor. Customizable by adjusting the water-to-espresso ratio.

Macchiatos:  Ingredients: Espresso, milk foam How it’s made: A shot of espresso is “marked” with a dollop of milk foam. Variants like caramel macchiatos add steamed milk and caramel drizzle.
