Cappuccino Coffee Shop Have you ever (20 characters) ?
...ordered anything more detailed than, say, a cappuccino at a coffee shop?
And what gender are you?
I got back into contact with a coworker from my old high school job recently - she just suggested a little stereotype that I'm exploring
Yes many times and I am female. Most of us females order the low fat, no whip, double shot, vente carmel machiatto. My husband is laughing at this because he orders the americano and that is all.

Cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamedmilk foam. A cappuccino as such differs from a caff latte in that it is prepared with much less steamed or textured milk than the caff latte, with the total of espresso and milk/foam making up between approximately 150 ml and 180 ml. The European cappuccino often differs in volume from the version found in US commercial coffee chains, as the coffee chain cappuccino is more often served as a 12 oz drink. A cappuccino is traditionally served in a porcelain cup, which has far better heatretention characteristics than glass or paper. The foam on top of the cappuccino acts as an insulator and helps retain the heat of the liquid, allowing it to stay hotter longer. The first espresso machines used to make cappuccino were introduced at the beginning of the 20th Century, with the first patent being filed by Luigi Bezzera of Milan in 1901. The beverage was used in Italy by the early 1900s, and grew in popularity as the large espresso machines in cafs and restaurants were improved during and after World War II. The cappuccino had developed into its current form by the 1950s.

They say there's an awful lot of coffee in Brazil – and there is! But the sheer variety of drinks it can be made into can cause confusion among those of us who just fancy a nice cup, and want something a bit different. So, when you do venture into your local coffee shop or cafe, how do you know what to ask for? Should it be an americano, a filter, espresso or double skinny latte? … unless you happen to be a real aficionado you could be forgiven for giving up, going home, and just unscrewing a jar of instant. Well help is at hand; here is a quick guide to the most common choices, so you can order with confidence. Espresso: these are those little cups with two mouthfuls in. Generally very strong they are made by forcing boiling water through ground coffee in a machine. Filter: made using gravity, because the boiling water falls through the ground coffee, extracting the flavour. Cafetiere: coffee is made by brewing the ground coffee and boiling water together, and a filter can be pushed down when the coffee is ready to be drunk, to separate the grains from the liquid. Cappuccino: espresso coffee with frothed milk added to it, and cocoa powder shaken on top. Latte: an espresso made with hot milk (skinny uses semi skimmed milk, double skinny uses skimmed, and a double latte just means double the amount of milk) Americano: an espresso made with a lot of hot water, and so less strong than usual espresso. But why stop there? Apparently 70 per cent of us put sugar in our coffee. Many of us are also discovering there’s an interesting alternative to sweetening our coffee - flavoured syrups. They’re an easy and enjoyable way to customize a coffee and experiment with tastes. The syrups come in a vast array of flavours to complement your coffee. Some sweet and others more subtle. It is even possible to get sugar-free versions. Most good coffee shops will offer a range of flavours to choose from. The most popular coffee syrup is probably vanilla, and a small glug of this in your latte makes a really fantastic drink. Ginger was very popular over the winter and is likely to carry on being so. If you are very sweet-toothed you could try caramel coffee syrup, or even cinnamon coffee syrup. Nut fans might like hazelnut syrup and there is also coffee’s perfect accompaniment, amaretto syrup. If you lack the confidence to go and order one – or just prefer to stay in – then you can actually buy a wide range of coffee syrups over the internet which you can add to homemade coffee. Many are imported from Europe but if you search you can get excellent, top quality British-made coffee syrups. Don’t forget they work in instant coffee too - a nice addition to your Nescafe! And if you get bored with coffee, try adding them to pancakes or ice cream to brighten up a dull dessert.
