espressopohjaisiin

Espressopohjaisiin is a Finnish term that translates to "espresso-based" in English. It refers to a category of coffee beverages prepared by combining espresso with other ingredients, typically milk, water, or flavorings. This distinguishes them from traditional black coffee or plain espresso shots.

Common examples of espressopohjaisiin drinks include the latte, which is espresso with steamed milk and a thin layer of foam, and the cappuccino, characterized by equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam. Other popular variations include the americano, made with espresso and hot water, and various flavored lattes such as vanilla or caramel. The quality and preparation of the espresso shot are crucial for the final taste of these drinks. The term is widely used in cafes and coffee shops across Finland.
