Latte[a] (/ˈlɑːt, ˈlæt/)[1][2] or caffè latte (Italian: [kafˌfɛ lˈlatte]),[3][4] also known as caffè e latte, caffellatte or caffelatte, is a coffee drink of Italian origin made with espresso and steamed milk, traditionally served in a glass.

The term latte comes from caffellatte[5] or caffè latte (from caffè e latte, lit.'coffee and milk'); in English orthography, either or both words sometimes have an accent on the final e (a hyperforeignism in the case of *latté).
