Hiya

An expresso is like double strength black coffee is a tiny cup, cappucino and latte are basically coffee, with steamed milk (the difference is the way the milk gets hot I believe).

If your making a\ brew at home, put your milk in the cup first abouy 1/3 to 1/2 full, pop into the microwave till hot, then add spoonful of coffee and hot water top the top. Tastes fab!

Also, apparently, if your a coffee lover that put your coffee in the cup and then fills with boiling water, this actually burns the coffee and gives a 'nasty' taste. Always put milk in first then coffee so granules dont burn. You can actually taste the difference.

Saying that, my daily diet is coffee and fags lol

My stomach doesnt even attempt to wake up until mid afternoon anyway lol

Re: Coffee!!
 

Never ever been able to eat until noonish, 5 cups of proper coffee is all I can stand until then. I don't think my stomach wakes up till then :D.

Try it.

I won't drink coffee normally but I will drink espresso.

As to the difference between cappuccino and latte, they are both essentially the same, espresso topped with steamed milk, however in a latte 10% of the milk is "frothy" and the other 90% hot milk, a cappuccino is 30-40% "frothy" and the other 60-70% hot milk. It's all down to the way it's poured.

I need to get a new job.
