I’m not 100% sure that Abi would agree with this and I’m sure she will correct me if it is wrong but here is a cup of coffee explained.

I used to have a cappuccino but find they are way too frothy for me nowadays. I stick to latte’s or a flat white.
How do you take your coffee?
Hey Susan,
I love a good espresso, and if I have time for a leisurely coffee and a chat, it’s the “Americano”, or long black for me.
It has to be dark roasted, and organic is much better. Fresh ground is great too, but who has time for all that, homeschooling 5 kids? 😉
Hi Meri, wow you do like real coffee eh? Well, I didn’t have time for all that once either… but once my eldest daughter grew up and became a professional barista I now have the perfect setup! Our girly dates consist of going to the best cafe’s in town… and we have a machine at home.
Hmmm, it all looks so very delicious. I like my coffee with a friend, some chocolate and/or a good book. 🙂
Cafe Latte is also nice. 😉
Oh I know what you mean, Amy. Chocolate is nice with coffee but a friend is even better 😉
Hi Susan – I love this chart. Just this weekend I was at the market with a coffee machine raising funds for our church. I drew a very rough sketch something like this to help me get it all right. But I love this chart. I personally don’t drink much but when I do I like a latte – with too much sugar!
Hi Belinda, I know that most coffee houses have similar diagrams… but I’ve also found that they differ ever so slightly. What one cafe considers to be a macchiato is different to another. And Abi drinks piccolo latte’s which are different yet again.
And then there is Macca’s with their I’m Sorry campaign. ‘Bout time. 😉
“And then there is Macca’s with their I’m Sorry campaign. ‘Bout time. ;)”
Ohh yes! 🙂 But who would go to macca’s when their own lovely coffee is waiting for them at home! 😉
Well, I do confess to drinking take-away semi regularly whenever we’re out and about. 😉
Cool photo! I lve lattes and flat whites also! xxx
🙂 I like mine strong but not bitter… (which is why I’m not keen on Macca’s coffee- they burn the shot)
Cute graphic! I drink coffee with a lot of milk – I guess that’s cafe au lait. When I’m out, I love a latte.
