Coffee

The coffee menu, and what each drink actually is

Most cafe drinks are the same three ingredients — coffee, water, milk — in different proportions and at different temperatures. Once you can see the proportions, you can make any of them at home.

Drink	What it is
Espresso-based, hot
Espresso	A short, concentrated shot pulled under pressure. Everything below starts here.
Americano	Espresso lengthened with hot water — the strength of filter coffee with an espresso character.
Latte	Espresso with a large volume of steamed milk and a thin cap of foam. The mildest of the milk drinks.
Flat white	Less milk than a latte and a finer microfoam, so the coffee stays forward.
Cappuccino	Roughly equal espresso, steamed milk and foam — the most textured of the three.
Macchiato	Espresso "marked" with a spoonful of foam. Small, strong.
Mocha	Espresso, chocolate and steamed milk — the drink for people who say they do not like coffee.
Affogato	A shot poured over cold ice cream. Dessert and coffee in one glass.
Cold coffee
Iced latte	Espresso and cold milk over ice — not a hot latte poured onto ice, which dilutes.
Iced americano	Espresso, cold water, ice. The cleanest cold coffee there is.
Cold brew	Coarse grounds steeped in cold water for hours, then strained. Lower acidity, naturally sweeter.
Coffee frappe	Coffee, milk, ice and sugar blended to a foam.
Dalgona	Instant coffee, sugar and hot water whipped to a caramel-coloured cream, spooned over cold milk.
World classics
Turkish coffee	Very finely ground coffee simmered with water and sugar in a cezve, served unfiltered.
Vietnamese iced coffee	Dark coffee dripped through a phin onto sweetened condensed milk, then poured over ice.
Irish coffee	Hot coffee, whiskey, sugar and a float of cream. Adults only.
Spiced coffee	Coffee brewed or finished with cardamom, cinnamon, clove or nutmeg.

Mocha

Espresso, chocolate and steamed milk — the drink for people who say they do not like coffee.

Affogato

A shot poured over cold ice cream. Dessert and coffee in one glass.

Iced latte

Espresso and cold milk over ice — not a hot latte poured onto ice, which dilutes.

Iced americano

Espresso, cold water, ice. The cleanest cold coffee there is.

Cold brew

No equipment

Making cafe coffee without an espresso machine

This is the question almost everyone arrives with, and the answer is not "buy a machine". Most of the drinks above can be built with things already in a normal kitchen.

Beaten and whipped coffee

Instant coffee, sugar and a little hot water beaten until it lightens and holds soft peaks. Spoon it over hot or cold milk. No machine, no grinder, about four minutes of arm work.

Moka pot

A stovetop pot that pushes water up through the grounds under steam pressure. Not true espresso, but close enough in strength to build a latte, cappuccino or mocha on.

French press

Coarse grounds steeped and pressed. Best for a full-bodied black coffee, and the easiest route into cold brew — same press, cold water, longer wait.

Pour over

A dripper and a paper filter. The cleanest cup of the lot, and the method that rewards attention to the grind and the pour.

Frothing milk by hand

A jar with a lid and hot milk, shaken then microwaved, gives usable foam for a cappuccino. A hand whisk or a battery frother gets closer to microfoam.

Plain instant

Instant coffee is the base for dalgona and for a lot of home iced coffee. There is no shame in it, and several recipes in the app are built on it deliberately.

Tea

Tea, from masala chai to matcha

Half of this app is tea, which is unusual — most drink apps treat tea as an afterthought. The recipes cover the everyday cup and the ones that take a little more.

Tea	What it is
Hot tea
Masala chai	Black tea simmered with milk, sugar and whole spices — cardamom, ginger, clove, cinnamon, black pepper. Brewed, not steeped.
Spiced tea	The same idea with a lighter hand, and without the milk if you prefer.
Black tea	Assam, Ceylon, English Breakfast and Earl Grey, with or without milk.
Green tea	Brewed below boiling — around 75–80 °C — because boiling water turns it bitter.
Matcha	Powdered green tea whisked into hot water or milk, so you drink the leaf rather than an infusion of it.
Milk tea	Strong tea cut with milk and sweetened — the everyday cup across South and Southeast Asia.
Ginger, lemon, mint, honey tea	The four single-ingredient teas people actually make at home when they want something warm.
Cold tea
Lemon iced tea	Brewed strong, sweetened while hot, chilled, then poured over ice with lemon.
Peach iced tea	The same base with peach syrup or fresh fruit.
Sweet tea	The American South version — sweetened at brewing temperature so the sugar dissolves properly.
Cold-brew tea	Leaves steeped in cold water for hours. Almost no tannin, so it never turns bitter.
Bubble tea (boba)	Milk tea with cooked tapioca pearls. Most of the work is the pearls, not the tea.
Herbal and wellness infusions
Chamomile	A flower infusion, caffeine-free, usually taken in the evening.
Hibiscus	Deep red, sharply tart, good hot or iced.
Tulsi	Holy basil, an everyday infusion across India.
Turmeric	Usually with milk and black pepper — the drink often sold as a golden latte.
Ginger and lemon	Fresh ginger simmered with lemon and honey.

Coffee art

Latte art starts with the milk, not the pour

Almost everyone who cannot pour a rosetta has a milk problem rather than a pouring problem. The art section covers both.

Microfoam

Milk stretched with just enough air and then folded, so the texture is wet paint rather than washing-up bubbles. Without it, nothing pours.

The heart

The first design to learn: pour low and slow into the centre, then cut straight through. Everything else is a variation on it.

The rosetta

A wiggle backwards, then a cut forwards. The leaf shape comes from the rhythm of the wiggle, not from the wrist.

The tulip

Stacked pours, each pushed into the last. The design that makes a home cappuccino look deliberate.

Stencils

Cocoa or cinnamon dusted through a stencil over foam. No technique needed, and it works on drinks that will not hold a free pour.

Presentation

Cup shape, milk temperature and how long the drink sits before it reaches the table all matter more than most people expect.

How it differs

A recipe app, not a coffee diary and not a game

Search Google Play for coffee and you get three different things wearing similar names. It helps to know which one you are downloading.

	Brew loggers & timers	Boba & cafe games	Coffee & Tea Recipes
What you get	A place to record beans, grind and brew times	A simulation of making drinks	Recipes you follow in a real kitchen
Coffee recipes	Few	None	Espresso through to Turkish and Vietnamese
Tea recipes	Rarely	None	Chai, matcha, milk tea, boba, herbal, iced
Written method	Sometimes	No	Ingredients, measurements, numbered steps
Works without equipment	No — assumes a setup	—	Yes — a no-machine section
Offline	Varies	Varies	Yes, for saved recipes
Account	Often	Often	None — no sign‑up, no login

Adults only, for part of it. The app includes alcoholic coffee recipes — espresso martini, Irish coffee and coffee liqueur drinks. They are intended for people of legal drinking age in their own country. Drink responsibly and follow the laws where you live.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the best app for coffee recipes?

Coffee & Tea Recipes turns cafe drinks — espresso, latte, cappuccino, mocha, cold brew and more — into step-by-step home recipes, free and offline.

Can I make a latte or cappuccino without an espresso machine?

Yes. The handmade section covers beaten coffee, moka pot, French press and hand-frothed milk, so you can build a latte or cappuccino with what is already in your kitchen.

Does the app work without internet?

Recipes you save to Favourites open offline, with no connection needed.

Which tea recipes are included?

Masala chai, black tea, green tea, matcha, milk tea, bubble tea, lemon and ginger tea, herbal infusions and a full set of iced tea recipes.

How do I make cold brew coffee at home?

The cold coffee section gives the coffee-to-water ratio, the steeping time and the straining method for cold brew, plus iced latte and coffee frappe.

Is the app free?

Yes. Coffee & Tea Recipes is free to download and free to use. It is supported by ads, and there is no subscription and no in-app purchase.

Is it useful outside my country?

Yes. The collection covers Italian, American, Indian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai and British drinks, and measurements are given in both metric and imperial units.

What is the difference between a latte, a cappuccino and a flat white?

All three are espresso and steamed milk; the proportions differ. A latte has the most milk and a thin layer of foam. A cappuccino is roughly equal parts espresso, milk and foam, so it tastes stronger and feels lighter. A flat white sits between them — less milk than a latte, and a finer microfoam rather than a foam cap.

How do I make masala chai?

Masala chai is brewed rather than steeped. Whole spices — cardamom, ginger, clove, cinnamon, sometimes black pepper — are simmered with water, then black tea, milk and sugar are added and the whole thing is brought back to a boil. The recipe in the app gives quantities and timings; the spice mix is the part worth adjusting to taste.

Do I need an account to use the app?

No. There is no sign-up, no login and no email address to give. Install it and it opens straight to the recipes.

Can I save recipes and come back to them?

Yes. Any recipe can be saved to Favourites, which builds a personal collection you can open again without searching. Saved recipes are also the ones that work offline.

Does the app contain alcoholic drink recipes?

Yes. There is a section of alcoholic coffee drinks — espresso martini, Irish coffee and coffee liqueur drinks. They are intended for adults of legal drinking age only. Every other recipe in the app is alcohol-free.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not at the moment. The app is Android only. On any device, the same recipes are on this website at teacoffeecup.com.

Who publishes the app?

NewsMediaLists, the same publisher as this website. The recipes in the app come from the TeaCoffeeCup library — the app is the offline, in-the-kitchen version of it.
