    Don’t, many latte’s are without coffee. Chai latte, matcha latta, usually don’t contain coffee. I was confused too

  English has a really bad habit of mistranslating things, for some reason latte = coffee+milk, while latte means milk

    Its not mistranslated, its caffe latte but the caffe part is cut off for brevity when ordering at a coffee shop.

      I know, what I’m saying is that latte = milk in italian, so if you ordered latte in Italy you would get a glass of milk, that’s what I mean by mistranslation

        Fair enough, more of a misuse as the word has kind evolved away from its original meaning.
