Expresso - is just a shot of coffee no milk, double expresso is two shots Cappaccino - shot of coffee with frothy milk and always with chocolate on topCafe Latte - shot of coffee with hot milk. Latte - is the same as cafe latte Macchiato - a shot of coffee (expresso) with just a drop of milk. No ice cream - that ain't Italian.Flat white - shot of coffee with milk, no froth - pretty much the same as a caffe latte but served in a cup. Not so much milk..Hot Chocolate - of course meltd chocolate. You only get the best in Italy. :P xx Meeks

A tourist or something. pmsl.You got to love the Italians ...no? , Wasn't game to bring up the whole skim milk thing. Because you have forgotten from your list. . Skim cap Skinny latte Skinny flat white Long black Short black . xx Meeks

My personal choice is a cappaccino and I really dont care if it is after 10:30 am or not. I have never been a big fan of low fat things as I think it takes more processing to get rid of the fat than what it is worth rendering it worse for you than consuming the fat. I never have sugar as 1> I am sweet enough and 2> it tends to detract from the flavour but I do like to spoon all the chocky and froth off the top first....mmmm l Makes me laugh when someone orders a decaf skinny soy latte. I mean really...what is left?

Have never had a coffee in my life so while away at a beach house earlier in the year and everyone placing their orders for a coffee run i thought i would give it a try.After 10 minutes of listening to everyone putting in their orders and explaining the differences to me and what i should and shouldn't be drinking,i thought long and hard about it---- AND PICKED UP CORONA beer instead. I am sure at some stage in my life i will be old enough and brave enough to again attempt my first coffee but for now i just don't think i am up for it ! Mr Luvsilver

I ordered an affocata. :p I think the skinny versions use skim milk.... it's a gimmick though... I mean full cream milk won't fluff up anyway, it just lays there all starfish like. :p Short black and long black... Easy now that I've got the I-phone app!!! Lmfao Hugs Stalky

Quoting 'stalky'... I mean full cream milk won't fluff up anyway, it just lays there all starfish like. :p I find that it has a lot to do with the angle of entry Stalky. You know when you get it just right and pull the spout in and out slowly, and occasionally move in a circular motion ... well I am sure that the cream will definitely fluff up. In fact I have seen it run over the edges and I am certain it was full cream and milky. . Love it...especially when it leaves that little milky moustache from drinking it. Your right forget skinny. The full cream is so much better, so thick and creamy just glides down your throat. Slurp. . Now you better tell your coffee date all about it.... I am sure they will be impressed. . Can I please order a double shot long white please. :) . xx Meeks

There's actually two types of Macchiato. There's the (caffé) Macchiato, which is a single espresso with just a tiny bit of milk. And there's the Latte Macchiato, which is basically the exact opposite: milk with a tiny bit of coffee.love to drink a long white with you Meeka ;)

I mean really...what is left? Cappaccino (best froth comes from hilo milk, not skim or full fat) are the daggy coffee (sorry Fi), but what must have been even more not to be seen drinking 'real' daggy coffee, must be the vienna coffee - long black with whipped cream floating on top... anyone seen them anywhere anymore?? Coffee machines need to be cleaned will and calibrated properly and serviced regularly, otherwise u can't get that beatutiful brown film of silk coming outta each poured shot. Instead u get a bitter watery shot. Lattes (single shot) go in in tall glasses, milk first then u can layer the black coffe on the top, either by pouring slowly on the lip of the glass, or over a spoon (like layering shooters), for a hot chocolate, the chocolate powder is premixed and shaken in a bottle with water and kept in the fridge so it pours thick and stays at the bottom of the glass, milk poured in slowly on top, the coffee on top of that, a 3 layer master piece with marsmellows on top. There a million flavour add in's available now, hazelnut, caramel etc plus the ole school favourties of Irish coffee, black coffee, whisky and cream - this can be done with the whole of the top shelf liquors, nice on a cold night granita's expresso and ice blended (some throw in coffee beans, that keeps ya going ALL day long ) Then the iced coffee, expresso, ice and milk blended, add ice-cream and cream Soy is for the 40% if the population that is showing up a dairy intollerance all of a sudden (me coulsn't anything to do with the fact that i basically have always lived off both milk and cheese...NO?), only allowed dairy once a week now... "Can I please order a double shot long white please. :)" Meeks this is a Long Macchiato, there is a short one in an expresso cup with just a wee splash of moo juice Stalky affocato is a black coffee with a scoop of ice-cream prolly more, but i'd have to have a few shots to stay awake long enuff to remember... ANd not to forget my mums fav, nescafe blend 43! oh and the best coffee beans in the world are the ones that come out of monkey poo, pre-digested beans...Now who the fuck was the first person to give that a go?? chai latte - we are moving into teas now... that is a list too long! plus i think most tea is a waste of time, hot dirty water to me, i don't see the point lol!

Good coffee requires well good coffee beans for a start and freshly roasted and a good machine then ultimately it'll all go to shit unless there's a good barista behind the machine. Also seems to help if the barista is quite good looking, whether male or female for some reason?????I have alow to mid end good machine at home, I have a couple of decent bean providers and just a little bit of skill. When my beans are fresh I can pull a decent shotI like cappuccino and espresso shots. Sometimes I have skim if I'm feeling fat but full cream is much better.If I have to put sugar in a coffee you know I think it tastes like shit!

rarely I'll have a soychino - the nutty flavour is nice! Yep if the coffee is superb then really it should just be savoured as an espresso but really people should have what they want. I don't really understand decaf though, like smoking a joint without the gunja man????? The only thing that really irritates me is if I make someone a coffee with much love and all my skill and my favorite beans and then they ask for the sugar...."taste it first bozo" is what comes out of my mouth. Same as if they reach for the salt after I've cooked them a meal!!!!

Whats the point in diluting all that tooth curling goodness with milk - if it doesn't make you twitch you're doing it wrong. I'm a double espresso gal. The shot of coffee over icecream is an affogato (<- undoubtedly spelt wrong, but at least I got espresso right!!) Has anyone had an espresso martini? Thats gotta be the second most ultimate high!!

Coffee is one of the four basic food groups and necessary to sustain life...throw in cohibas, fine vintage scotch and sex, what else is there that you need to survive? Okay, so a big handful of organic vitamin and mineral supplements washed down with a big glass of cranberry/pineapple juice and you are good to go. | When I landed over here I was lost...it was right at the start of "cafe' coffee snobs" era and I thought I had taken a wrong turn on Collins Street and ended up back in Harlem... | Quoting 'Meeka100' Flat white Long black Short black| I was almost afraid to use the crosswalk to get back to the office...I just knew some mo fo bro was going to come screaming around the corner in a low rider Lincoln and turn me into a skid mark. No wait, they actually speed up in Harlem if they catch you in the headlights. | So what...I have a smiley face coffee mug for in the morning that says "Don't Fuck With Me Until This Is Empty", we all have our vices and I head for the Coffee Company on Carlisle Street in Balaclava and buy my own blend. One third kg. each of Guatemala Antigua, Cuban Serrano and Kenyan...like a good cigar, the smell alone makes life worth living. | Now the brew that giveth life, the Lazarus aka The American Express...I bought a machine for home use to cut out the middle man, dodge the coffee connoisseurs and not have to try to hold those damn ups without handles that burn the bejezzus out of your fingers. | Pack it tight and make it strong...a quad shot fills the mug one-third full, then add on-third cold full cream milke and steam until it's all foamy and just lifts out the top. Drink this first as the eyes open and the sedentary heart rate returns to normal...then repeat in the smiley face cup that says "I'm Fine Now You Can Fuck With Me". Plan your work...work you plan. | This probably partially explains some of my longer and more ridiculous posts...but not completely. As the day wears on, you start in with the nudge...and what that doesn't cure can't be fixed anyway. | Okay, the first cup is empty so I'm fine now... | ...let the weekend roll.

Now if Tibetan monks can pick the jasmine leaves while still dewy in the morning for $40 -$50 /100g and Monkeys can shit out coffee beans for roughly the same price... How much do you think I could get for human digested coffee beans??? All you single mums looking to supplement your income... get your kids to swallow whole a few coffee beans each morning, catch the result in the evening, sanitise and dry in a very low oven over night... what do you think $100 / 100g??? DGT has generously volunteered to taste test til the formula is refined... I think we may just be on to something here... Chilli xx would love to fuck you til you're empty... *boink* I think the market for dirty knickers would probably be ur better bet Chilli... CNG has already done tested the market, and the results

All of the coffee come out of a barista machine ( which is the machine they use at Dome)and the milk is skim milk as it foams up better.It is an art to making the perfect cup of coffee and they hold contests for it.Hope this helps you

When I was in Italy I had a hankering for a good ice coffee... I mean they make good coffee there, so an ice coffee with real coffee instead of crappy coffee flavouring would have to be good... Wouldn't it? . So I tried to explain to the rather delicious Italian girl behind the counter what I wanted in my best Italiano... "coffeeeiio withio Iceio Creamo." I get a blank look. So I say the same thing but louder. "COFFEEIIO WITHIO ICEIO CREAMO." Same look. Louder again with hand gestures pointing at all their delicious sorbets and ice creams "COFFEEIIO WITHIO ICEIO CREAMO." "BBBrrrrrrrr" *makes shivering sound and body language*" . Finally, the hottie Italian girl got it. I paid and sat outside, and out came four latte glasses with black coffee and ice cubes in them.

OMG... you can find an evening course at your local TAFE and learn all about it... my shop serves one of the best, and I make it myself - this forum does not have enough space... in short you're right a barista must be apssionate about the product, have best beans, fresh milk, often changed water filter on the machine (IMPORTANT but mostly neglected)... but I had to laugh when I saw the topic - my first foray into the world of adult Internet relationships was when after a meeting for coffee the lady I met had invited me for coffee at her place (the very next day) - and she did not even have a coffee machine I later found - we had a coupe of hours of great sex instead ;-) So there is a new meaning to "having coffee" in the context of RHP...!

Stalky... it does it for you automatically ya know. :P God I shutter to think what he is doing to froth the milk. xx Meeks Yeah.. it comes with factory pre-sets but then have to tinker.. you know.... it's italian.. so cappuccino is actually cafelatte.. and latte is actually cappuccino.. and flat white is set up for latte machiatta... these beverages are defaulted to italian default servings.... so to set up up how you want to to make it automatic one button process... you first choose the amount of espresso.. 30ml, 40ml, 60ml, 90ml or 120 ml... and the strength of coffee, the amount of steamed milk.... adjust the froth levels... let alone deciding on which beans to use... coffee first or milk first.. I mean to say.. its a veritable caffeine smorgasboard even if you do have to just push one button to get some kind of a beverage out of the bloody thing! Ultimately, I ought to be anble to push one button and fill my favourite cup with my favourite concoction.... you know.. just like out of the kettle if that's what I like! hehe. Bloody thing should have come with a barista.HugsS

The things we do for a decent coffee these days

Your delonghi, although mightily impressive will never give the best head or is that crema? I'd say it's like a vibrator compared to a well educated penis. The penis can learn, get better at it and achieve the best crema ever. The old vibrator will give consistent repeat performances but never really blow your mind - lucky or us guys would be out of a job!

It was of course a play on words...I say espresso and you say aluminium. You have to read more than what you write sometimes to catch the downstream drift. | Quoting 'Jean_Girard' Not till you speak proper... 'Aeroplane'.... it's pronounced air o plane here. Although to be fair that doesn't help it make a lot more sense... | Hang in there, if you Google "Skippy" you will find out it really was a peanut butter also labelled as "Peter Pan" way before it was ever a cuddly little Kangaroo...just don't tell the indignant dickhead that makes Redheads as he thinks everything comes from Australia and he world stole it from him. | I will tell the Orville and Wilbur that they should have named their little toy at Kitty Hawk after the Jelly-O that ya'all love to hate. The original does taste better and even comes in pineapple. | In the meantime...just put on that little beanie with the pro-pell-er on top and give it a spin. Then when you make aeroplane noises... | ...even the little babies will have a good laugh. | Just kidding...sometimes I just can't help playing with words. Now...about my coffee?

Quoting 'Jean_Girard' Sounds like it's lacking an iceo dispensero? I mean you can't have a good iceio coffeeo without an icecubo dispensero.. lmfao.. Melbournians... You and your damn ice coffees! You do know you can buy coffee flavouring... or even coffee flavoured milk from the supermarket and stick ice in it.... Hell... if you have a fancy fridge freezer.. it will dispense crushed ice right from the door.... it's a coffee flavoured milkshake ffs!!!! Use instant coffee and add cold milk and a half a cup of sugar!Would youse like cream with that? I bet you would.. hehe.HugsStalky

Yes I confess I have been to barista school. The secret of success for the teacher was being able to provide a long black whilst still retaining a "tiger stripe" creme on the top. Yes at the end of the night I was the teachers pet........or was that lap tiger???? Oh and as for the temperature here in Australia, not many get it right, try to sip it and burn ur tongue out........the Europeans seem to get it right all the time, ready to drink when you get it, not half an hour later............yes I know, poor lets, he has such a delicate mouth........... In fact when in Europe it was explained that the only reason why chocolate was introduced was to disguise the flavor of bitter taste from poorly made coffees and that no self respecting barista would use it..........not sure the validity but it was at least a good story.... As for tea, I love a nice fresh pot to sit and drink, lasts so much longer that an coffee and so much more refreshing........Russian Caravan seems right about now........ Lets have a cuppa

It only got used a few times...and gonsky!I mean I could make a cup of Nescaf and have drunk it twice by the time that silly thing was done.....heheheheheCheers Nev

Quoting 'CarlosSpicyWienr'I mean I could make a cup of Nescaf and have drunk it twice by the time that silly thing was done.....heheheheheWell, the purpose for getting one is because I used to go out to the kitchen and boil the kettle about 20 times a day.. but I never actually got to drink the coffee .. or half made the coffee... or it sits out there cold... because the phone rings or I get distracted somehow... With this new gadget just behind my desk... I just spin around in my chair, push the button and 30 seconds later I have a fresh cup of hot coffee with a splash of steamed milk... it's not quite as good as going to my favourite coffee shop.. but not too bad I have to say.HugsGaz
