BONUS MODULE 10
Coffee Drink Ratios – Cappuccino, latte, and flat white
Write a review of a purchased module and receive Module 10 – Coffee Drinks and Ratios free in your email.
In this bonus module, you will discover how classic coffee drinks are built from espresso, with the correct ratio of espresso, milk, and foam.
What is the difference between cappuccino, latte, and flat white?
During barista workshops, I almost always get this question.
Many home baristas now have their espresso well under control.
But as soon as milk or water is involved, doubt often arises.
Why does a cappuccino sometimes taste too milky?
Why does a latte feel weak?
And why is a flat white often stronger than expected?
The answer almost always lies in ratio and construction.
All coffee drinks start with espresso.
The difference is not in the machine — but in how you combine that espresso with milk or water.
When you understand that principle, you can correctly make a whole range of classic coffee drinks with one espresso machine.
Building coffee drinks from espresso
From a stable espresso base, you can build different coffee drinks.
In this bonus module, we look at, among other things:
- espresso
- americano
- cappuccino
- caffè latte
- flat white
- cortado
- latte macchiato
You will learn how ratio, milk texture, and pouring order ultimately determine how a coffee drink tastes.
When you understand these principles, you no longer have to guess how much milk or water to add.
You work with clear ratios and a fixed construction.
Cappuccino, latte, and flat white – the ratios
Much confusion between coffee drinks arises because the ratios are not clear.
In the module, you will learn how many classics are constructed.
By understanding these ratios, you can make coffee drinks consistently and reproducibly.
What you will learn in this bonus module
In this video module, you will receive a practical framework for building coffee drinks.
You will learn, among other things:
- why espresso is the base of all coffee drinks
- how ratios influence the taste balance
- why cappuccino, latte, and flat white are constructed differently
- how milk texture affects mouthfeel
- how to make multiple coffee drinks with one espresso machine.

Many people know how to make an espresso, but as soon as milk or water is added, confusion often arises.
- What makes a cappuccino different from a latte?
- Why does a flat white taste stronger?
- And when does a coffee become too milky or too thin?
In this module you will discover how classic coffee drinks are built from one base:
espresso.
Understanding how ratio, milk structure, and buildup work together will allow you to correctly prepare a wide variety of coffee drinks with just one espresso machine.
What will change after this module?
What will change after this module?
After this module you will look at coffee drinks differently.
You will gain a clear frame of reference for making drinks such as cappuccino, latte and americano.
Many home baristas are finding that from now on, coffee drinks are no longer based on guesswork or feeling, but on a recognizable build-up from espresso .
This ensures greater consistency and a flavour balance that is closer to what you taste in good coffee bars.

Do I need a special espresso machine for these coffee drinks?
No.
You can make coffee drinks such as cappuccino, latte, and flat white with virtually any espresso machine .
The difference between the drinks lies mainly in:
- espresso as a base
- the ratio between espresso and milk
- the milk structure
- the structure of the drink
Why does cappuccino often taste different at home than in a coffee shop?
That is usually due to a combination of factors.
The most common causes are:
- coffee beans that are not fresh enough
- an espresso that is not properly adjusted
- the ratio between espresso and milk
- a milk structure that is not properly formed
When these elements are right, a cappuccino achieves a much better balance between coffee and milk.
Can I also learn this during a barista workshop?
Yes.
In addition to these online modules, I also offer private barista workshops at home on your espresso machine , where we look at your espresso machine, coffee grinder, and coffee beans together.
During such a workshop, you will learn step by step how to fine-tune your espresso and which choices influence taste and extraction.
Many home baristas use the modules as a foundation of knowledge and then opt for a workshop to personally optimize their setup.
