coffee things.

An americano is a long black. Also mochas don't have whipped cream on them, goddamnit. Also, what the hell is a Breve? Is half and half like, low fat milk? How is that something specially named?

rrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's okay, Hannah, Americans do stupid things to their coffee. They put cream in it for heaven's sake. I think Half and Half is half milk, half cream.

They also forgot macchiato, which is a shot of espresso with a tiny dash of steamed milk and foam, but in Starbucks is akin to a giant latte.

I miss being a barista sometimes, I had more reason to be all hoity-toity when people started telling me about coffee.

Half and half is a mix of cream and milk. Jesse has it on his cereal because he is a disgusting, skinny bugger.
Half and half is stable in coffee, and lends a rich creaminess which milk alone cannot.

Here is a link on Starbucks to a macchiato. Here they specify that it's an espresso macchiato. http://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/espresso/espresso-macchiato
Also on the American Starbucks website they say "Macchiato is an Italian word meaning “marked.” So a latte macchiato is steamed milk marked with a little espresso, while a caffè macchiato is espresso marked with a little milk."

Bibliophile · « **Reply #606 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 17:18 »

Also, Wikipedia says:

"A long black is a style of coffee, most commonly found in New Zealand and Australia, but now becoming available in the UK, predominantly in London. It is made by pulling a double-shot of espresso or ristretto over hot water (usually the water is also heated by the espresso machine). A long black is similar to an Americano, which is made by adding hot water to espresso shots, but it retains the crema and is less voluminous, therefore more strongly flavoured.

The order in which a long black is made (water first, espresso second) is important; reversing the steps will destroy the crema from the espresso shots.

Short black is an Australasian synonym for the basic espresso."

Someone needs to put a Double Down between two doughnuts that have been spread with vegemite and eat it. It'll either be hilarious for us all to hear about, or you'll have passed God's ultimate dare and proven you have the courage to change the world. I'm pretty sure that's actually how most superheroes start out.

I didn't see a SINGLE Kiwi when I was there. Saw a ton of those really curious parrot-like birds, though. My brother and his friend almost got one to hop into our campervan, but I stopped him 'cause I didn't want bird shit in it.

First one's a kea, good thing you didn't let it near your car as they sometimes rip the shit out of the doors and steal your windscreen wipers.

Second one's a weka. They're pretty good natured, just like to run around and eat shit.

I don't think I could be mad if a bird stole my windshield wipers. That's just so random. I mean, maybe not for you being from New Zealand, but the only things around here that would steal my wiper blades have thumbs.
