Those terms are an American invention. As for Italy

  • Latte = plain old milk. Can be cold or hot, it's milk
  • Caffelatte = probably the origin of the American "latte", literally means coffee and milk, usually made and home with cold or hot milk and moka coffee
  • Latte macchiato = big cup of milk, frothy on top, with a shot of espresso in it
  • Caffè macchiato = espresso with a shot of milk, can be frothy

Certainly the origin of the American "latte" is the latte macchiato, because that's exactly what you receive if you order "a latte" in the US.

Interesting, thanks for the info! What is moka coffee? Mocha here means a latte with chocolate basically. Sometimes with whipped cream instead of foam.

Coffee made with a Moka pot

What you call mocha should actually be called Mocaccino, although it's more similar to what we call Marocchino in Italy. They're both derived from the "Bicerin", a drink typical of Turin.

Marocchino is like a Cappuccino with powdered cocoa (mix the espresso and cocoa before pouring the milk).

Mocaccino is instead made up of three layers, a layer of melted chocolate, then a layer of espresso, then a layer of frothy milk.

Afaik they're not massively popular in Italy, but here in the north I see Marocchino more often than Mocaccino.

PS: if you want to pronounce them correctly, "chi" and "che" are pronounced "ki" and "ke", while "ci" and "ce" are pronounced "chi" and "che".

It sounds like an American mocha is most similar to the mocaccino, since we mostly use a thick chocolate sauce for the chocolate, not cocoa powder.
