COFFEE LINGO

* Demitasse: Small cup for serving espresso straight, no chaser.
* Doppio: Double espresso.
* Double Double: Double cream, double sugar.
* Drip: A regular coffee.
* Dry: Steamed milk (just foamed milk).
* Espresso: Approximately a one-ounce shot of espresso made from Arabica beans, which are used in making regular coffee. The word comes from the brewing method -- hot water is pressed through finely ground, firmly packed coffee.
* Espresso Breve: Espresso with half-n-half or other semi-skimmed milk.
* Espresso Lungo: This one uses a long pull, to squeeze the max from the bean. Some think it gives a stronger brew, others just a more bitter one.
* Espresso Macchiato: Espresso with just a dollop of steamed milk on top.
* Espresso Ristretto: Thicker drink.

I will be adding more to this list ...........
