espresso- is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing very hot, but not boiling water under high pressure through coffee that has been ground to a consistency between extremely fine and powder.

latte- is a mixture of espresso hot milk and milk froth

This is an Italian creation that’s served small because it packs a real punch. Made using beans that are roasted to their absolute extreme of darkness, this coffee is also used as a base for others such as lattes and mochas. A brewing method that extracts the heart of the bean.

A pump-driven machine forces hot water through fine grounds at around nine atmospheres of pressure. Comes from the Latin word Expresere which means "to press out".


The difference is lattes have milk in them and espresso is extra strong coffee only.
