Thank you!

But where's the Cortado?
Flat white, cappuccino, latte and machiatto are the same thing. It's just coffee with milk.
Pizza, cream cheese bagel, and cheese on crackers are the same thing. It’s just bread with cheese.
I will not be ordering a "chalky coffee".
It's a "choccy (chocolate) coffee"
Half of this are wrong though
It's a guide for stupid people written by stupid people. I bet they'll call you "woke" if you order a cappuccino there.
Excuse me, but I have had a lot of tea and I can confirm that it is not coffee.
Espresso is also not coffee.
Right, a flat white is definitely not white.
A latte is also a white coffee, and most baristas are going to think you want an americano with milk.
Hmm, I don't think I'd want to buy coffee from this place
Exactly ... it's the kind of place with one cheap coffee machine that buys the cheapest ground bulk coffee they can find and probably spike the grounds with a bit of salt to make it palpable for their regular customers who all don't care about their coffee because they've been visiting the same place for over 20 years.
Was going to say, if my coffee shop doesn’t know the difference between coffee and an espresso, I’m not buying a coffee from them.

~~Espresso~~ concentrated coffee
I think it's easy to point how this is pretty off in some ways, but if you think of it as being aimed at someone with no coffee knowledge, I think it's not a bad overview of how that person is likely to experience those types of drinks.
as someone who knows fuck all about coffee i can confirm this is how i see coffee. The one thing i know is that i like milky carmel cappuccinos:3
Here's a quick tidbit I always have in the back of my mind:
If it's an Italian name, it's espresso-based and if it's a French name, it's coffee-based.
Italian coffee, for example:
Americano - Espresso and water
Latte - Espresso and regular milk
Cappuccino - Espresso and steamed milk
Breve - Espresso and steamed half-and-half
French coffee, for example:
Café - Plain coffee, sometimes called Café Noir
Café au Lait - Coffee and regular milk
Café Cremé - Coffee and cream (or sometimes half-and-half)
Café Americano - Coffee and water, it's the French version of the Italian style.
What's the difference between coffee and espresso? Coffee is brewed and steeped. Espresso is created by forcing water through very, very densely-packed coffee grounds using high pressure. Coffee is typically enjoyed in cups and espresso is typically consumed in "shots" because of the strong flavor.
Half-and-half is for cowards. Either cut the cream entirely or get full cream.

For all you coffee snobs hear me this!
Affogato!
Get a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Pour a shot of espresso over it. Heaven!!
I don't like coffee but I think this could be the gateway drug.
You get the warm bitter espresso then the cool sweet vanilla icecream. You need to eat it quick while it melts then drink it when it combines into a coolish sweet coffee thing.
Its fantastic and so simple.
It is. Vanilla ice cream with coffee is delicious.
If I ask for a latte, and you give me a coffee with milk, I’m gonna be upset. There’s a big difference between steamed milk and just milk.
I ordered an almond joy latte and went back in asking for another drink cause it was horrible.
Turns out it was a coffee not a drink. I hadn't had coffee in so long I couldn't identify the lack of steamed milk. 🫤
I did get it remade as a latte and it was amazing.
If I ask for latte, and you give me a coffee with milk, I’m gonna be upset. There’s a big difference between milk and coffee with milk.
You do know that when you steam milk it changes the consistency, right? It’s like the difference between a coke and a completely flat coke.
Isn't a latte non-steamed though? I thought a cappuccino had the frothed milk in it.
"Latte" is milk, "Caffè latte" is coffee with milk
Understood, but in the context of a coffee shop in an anglophone place it has a different agreed upon meaning.

With a latte, it's just normal steamed milk. A cappuccino has foamy steamed milk. Specifically, it has an equal volume of steamed milk and foam taking up space in the cup. You get more actual milk diluting the coffee in a latte, resulting in a milder drink.

I thought they were making a joke, in that latte means milk and that it's "cafe latte" in Italy or something.
Yeah, I think they were, but also if I ask for a latte in an English speaking coffee shop and get a glass of milk, I’d be upset.
~~caffeine in suppository form~~ ass coffee
Boofaccino
I know everyone is here for the same thing, and we've all been correcting this image since it showed up five years ago, but an Americano is not a black coffee.
It is however, coffee that is black, but if I ordered one and got the other, I'd know somethings up.
Also, I really don't know why people drink americano. To me they just taste like cigarettes, but I'm currently drinking chicory so my opinion is moot.
