Nice list Thanks! There is also the “Café con leche” which (I guess) is a Spanish version of Latte, using a roast like Pilon or Café Bustelo. A Cuban Coffee uses a strong espresso with a big spoon of sugar to give it a super sweet but strong taste. Also, there is the “Indian shaken coffee”, made with instant coffee, milk, and sugar shaken to a frothy treat!

Greek coffee is made in a briki, perhaps the word is left over from Ottoman rule. And frappe (the instant kind) is a real treat on a hot day, with loads of ice and condensed milk.

Samantha,
There is a reason why it has been accepted by some coffee shops to use frothy milk instead of straight milk. Interestingly enough, because there is such a small amount of milk in the espresso shot, waiters could not even hardly see that milk was added, so some places started using a small amount of frothy milk on top instead, so that they could better differentiate them.

Note: Be careful when ordering “White Coffee,” because it is now the name of an actual type of roast (which is basically just a VERY under done bean), and the only people who order it are those who a) want to feel special by ordering something that MOST coffee shops don’t carry, and b) the ambitious who want to pretend they know coffee but wouldn’t be able to tell a good roast if it jumped out and bit them in the armpit.
Also, if you order a Macchiato these days, it’ll espresso with foam on top, not milk.

Personally, I shot of DeSarano’s Ameretto Liquor is heavenly in a cup of French Roast, settle the nerves in the evening just right.

I just want to correct something. There is no cardomom pods in Turkish coffee. It is made of only sugar, water and freshly ground, heavenly smelling turkish coffee. If there is cardomom pods, that is Arabic style.

Just a word of advise. Before ordering a “Lungo” (See above) Try a single espresso then try another single espresso using the already used coffee in the portafilter, then finally try a 3rd single espresso from the same coffee in the portafilter. (Effectively making 3 separate shots from the same 7grams of espresso coffee. By the time you get to the 3rd shot you should realise never to order a Lungo again. On a correctly set up espresso machine using quality coffee, the 1st shot is heaven, the 2nd shot is close to hell and the 3rd shot should make you sick! Don’t just take my word for it, try it.
I use this in my training to show people why they should never put more than 30ml (1 ounce) though their 7g espresso shot. Most of them are shocked and never try to pull a long espresso again!

A number of years there was a restaurant in Toronto named Crispin’s. They had the most delicious coffee blend, named Crispin’s. My husband and I were told that Diana’s Cupboard in Greenwich Village had the recipe and could do the blend for us. Unfortunately, they could not give us the recipe. Is there any way you would be able to find this recipe for us. I do know that java and mocha beans were used. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the list, I’m really looking for a better blend than the packaged Safeway Select, Starbucks, and Folgers crap, all of them are really really weak and don’t taste very good.

a quick note: most vietnamese style coffee made (in the USA) usually includes chicory in the coffee grounds (a la Cafe Du Monde), although I’ve noticed a trend evolving over the years in the local Vietnamese community to using instant coffee. Not like there are alot of subtle flavors to be missed in a witches brew of wicked strong coffee and condensed milk First time I tried it (a billion years ago) when I was 14, I asked if it had alcohol in it! Fun site, thanks for the info.

Greek coffee and Turkish coffee differ in the addition of chicory to Greek coffee and cracked cardamom pods to Turkish coffee. Also, if any sugar is going to be added, it must be added to the coffee in the pot before it’s brewed, it can’t be added to the cup afterwards.
