Espresso
This is a very fine ground coffee that is packed into a portafilter and inserted into an espresso machine. Water that is heated to 190-197 degrees Fahrenheit is forced under 8-10 atmospheres of pressure through the portafilter of fine coffee to produce --viola!-- 1-2 ounces of espresso. And do not feel bad about calling someone out when they say, "expresso", because there is no "X" in espresso.
Hint A good way to tell if your espresso is of high quality is the color and consistency of the cream. If you add sugar, it should sit on top of the cream for 15-30 secs.
Latte
A latte is something North Americans have made popular. In Europe, a latte would tend to be considered something you would serve to your children. When made properly I consider a latte to be a delicious drink. Many people confuse the latte with the cappucino. A latte is espresso in combination with steamed milk. To give you an idea of ingredient ratios, a 16oz. drink would be 2-3oz. of espresso and the rest steamed milk.
Hint: I consider a good latte to be a "blended" drink. A good barista will incorporate foam, steamed milk, and espresso together giving the drink a blended taste and a marbleized texture.
Cappuccino
This drink is often confused with a Latte, but in essence they are different drinks. The common cappuccino is made in 1/3 proportions. This means a proper cappucino is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 "steamed" milk, and 1/3 "frothed" milk. The espresso and steamed milk are poured together and the frothed milk is scooped on top. This drink is very subjective in my opinion, and can be ordered several different ways.
Hint: I think this drink is a good test of how good a barista actually is, and be forwarned if you do not like formy-ness order a latte...
Cafe Au Lait
This one is easy and straight forward. 50% Dark Coffee: 50% Steamed Milk.
Hint: The only factors here are tasty coffee and fresh milk. Don't let them use milk left over from their last drink. You want unsteamed, fresh, cold milk.
I hope this answered your question.

Good question. First, coffee is brewed differently then Espresso and etc. Typical coffee is drip brewed. Back in the olden days, it was percolated (or boiled)... yuck! There is also French pressed; which is very good. So, you have Espresso which very hot water is forced through the grounds. Espresso actually doesn't have as much caffeine as regular coffee (a common misconception). Cappuccino has a "Cap" or dollop of foam from steamed milk on top of the Espresso. Latte is steamed milk added to the Espresso with a hint of foam on top. Mocha is the Latte with an addition of melted chocolate mix in.

Cappuchino- 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk
Latte- . In English-speaking countries it usually refers to one of several types of coffee beverages made with hot milk.
Espresso- flavourful coffee beverage brewed by forcing very hot, but not boiling, water under high pressure through coffee that has been ground to a consistency between extremely fine and powder.
Regular Coffee- popular beverage prepared from the roasted seeds (not beans) of the coffee plant

Ok... True cappuccino(not like the gas staion kind) is steamed milk with espresso added then when poured in a cup it is half liquid, half foam. Latte is the same but only has a small amout of foam on top. Esresso is finely ground espresso beans and is very strong when drank by itself. Regular coffee is....well, coffee!haha hope that helps
