When you ordering coffee in your daily life , what kind of coffee did you exactly want ?


Order Like a Pro

Let's face it...ordering coffee can be intimidating the first few times. Here's how to sound like you know what you're doing...even before you really do!
Hot Stuff - The Basics

Hot Coffee drinks come in several different variations.

* Espresso - Often called a "shot", this is a small serving of very strong coffee, and forms the basis of all the other specialty coffee drinks.
* Latte - Espresso with steamed milk and a little bit of foam on top.
* Cappuccino - Espresso with frothed milk on top.
* Espresso Machiatto - Espresso with very little foam.
* Breve - A latte made with half and half rather than milk.
* Cafe au Lait - Steamed milk with brewed coffee (not espresso).
* Mocha - Latte with dark chocolate.
* White Mocha - Latte with white chocolate
* Americano - Espresso with hot water.
* Italiano - Espresso in brewed coffee.
* Steamer - Not really coffee at all, but steamed milk with one of several flavors added. (Kids love 'em.)

Coffee is an energy drink or not....?

Who thinks that coffee and energy drinks actually work and help you stay awake? Lets say you only got 4 hours of sleep and you have to wake up to go to work and then to school and in order to wake up you either drink coffee or an energy drink and do they actually wake you up or not.

Please share your experience with coffee.
Thanks
