If I said coffee culture would you need me to explain?


I’m no expert, but I try to keep up…

Tall, grande, small, regular, large, supreme, venti, primo, medio, massimo

Latte, cappuccino, espresso, mocha, Americano (surely it should be Columbian?)

Macchiato, frappe, caramelatte, frappuccino, babyccino – do Italians know we do this?

Finely ground, filtered, roasted, baked, freeze dried, percolated

Skinny, full fat, whipped cream, sweetener, soya milk, 1 shot, 2 shot, extra shot, hold a shot…

free wi-fi, free magazines, free papers, free biscuits, free meeting space, free television, free coffee beans

Coffee bar, coffee lounge, coffee table, coffee house, coffee shop, coffee company, coffee market

Coffee break, coffee meeting, coffee date, coffee time, coffee mornings, after dinner coffee, coffee stop

Phew! I’m exhausted. Put the kettle on, Let’s have a cup of tea…
