Barista
BAR-EES-TA: Behind the coffee shop counter is a just nice person who knows the process for fantastic espresso coffee and can deliver exactly what you want. Don’t be afraid to ask for your special coffee when you get the hang of this. (Here is a nice online magazine dedicated to the people behind that counter.)
Caramel Macchiato
CAR-MEL MA-KEE-AH-TOE: A shot of espresso topped with our hand-made whipped cream and caramel.
KA-FAY LA-TAY: A soothing beverage composed of three layers: a freshly drawn shot of espresso coffee, milk steamed and poured to fill the cup and finally, a quarter-inch dollop of foamed milk to create a delicate first impression.
Caffé Mocha
KA-FAY MO-KAH: Liquid chocolate and a freshly pulled espresso coffee coffee shot blended with fresh steamed milk. Topped with a generous portion of our handmade whipped cream and a light grind of chocolate.
Cappuccino
KA-PA-CHEE-NO: A classic Italian breakfast drink using less steamed milk and more foamed milk than the Caffè Latte. Cappuccino can be ordered “dry” for an extra foamy cup or “wet” for a more milky consume.
Caffé Americano
KA-FAY’ A-MER-I-CAH’-NO: A deep, rich espresso coffee coffee combined with hot water. The result is a cup of full-flavored coffee with the distinct taste of espresso coffee.
Steamer
Want the goodness of a latte but don’t like the taste of coffee? Order a steamer, steamed milk and natural tastes like Vanilla, Hazelnut, Caramel, Almond.
Single espresso coffee
A one fluid ounce serving of straight espresso coffee, served alone or with steamed milk in an espresso coffee coffee beverage. The standard for lots of short and tall espresso coffee drinks.
Double Espresso coffee
Two one fluid ounce servings of straight espresso coffee. This is the basic for Grande, but if you want your tall Latte doubly concentrated, you’d better ask for the extra shot. “I want a tall double latte please”. (for more about espresso coffee check Wikipedia)
Short
Our 12 fluid ounce coffee.
Tall
At 250 Central, a 16 fluid ounce coffee consume. This is the a lot of popular size.
Grande
More of your favorite thing, a 20 fluid ounce consume. When you need an extra boost.
Extra
When you want extra caffeine in the morning you can add extra shot(s) of espresso coffee to a crafted coffee. Order it “With an extra shot of espresso coffee.”
Push pot
A coffee pot with a plunger made of fine mesh. Translation: the pot that makes an extra-strong coffee. (here is a French press brewing guide)
Skinny or Non-fat
All the milk, hold the fat. Order a skinny Latte if you want skim milk.
No Foam
Don’t like the way the frothed milk on your Latte tickles your nose? Order it “no foam,” and you’ll get only espresso coffee coffee and steamed milk.
Dry
More foam than milk. If you like your Cappuccino very light and airy, order it “dry.”
Extra Foam
Foam keeps your espresso coffee drink hot, so if you’re taking it to go, you might want to order “extra foam.”
The Espresso coffee coffee Shot
Each serving of espresso coffee is composed of three color layers, a dark color with caramel-colored around and topped with the crema – an almost white color. When you have all three your looking at a fabulous shot.
Espresso
E-SPREZ’-SO: The building block of all our specialty coffees. Concentrated coffee “essence” brewed from our own Espresso coffee Roast beans. Espresso coffee coffee can be served alone in a demitasse or even added to a crafted coffee for that extra jump start.
With Room
Short for “I’d like to add cream to my coffee, so please leave me some room in my cup.”
Whip
Short for “whipped cream.” Want to save a few calories in your Mocha? Order it “no whip.”
Vanilla, Hazelnut, Caramel, Almond
Add this to your order if you’d like a shot of flavor syrup added to your drink.
Tip Jar
That little glass jar you work with to thank your barista for producing you such a lovely consume.
