Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Why is chocolate milk on this graphic but not regular (non-espresso) coffee? The chocolate milk is the only thing without espresso in it.

There is no "non-espresso" coffee in Italy. You're basically describing how the Americano came to be.

[–] cmac@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

If that's the reason, I guess the graphic would be better labeled as "Drinks available in Italian cafes".

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago

Do they call chocolate milk a type of coffee in Italy?

[–] Cheskaz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't understand what you mean by "regular (non-espresso) coffee".

[–] cmac@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Espresso is coffee brewed by forcing water through the grounds at high pressure. As opposed to "regular" coffee made in something like a drip coffee maker, pour over cone, or French press.

My favorite coffee is chocolate milk

What they've called a "Glace" I've always heard called Affogato

[–] hangonasecond@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same here. Occasionally served with liqueur, something like Kahlua or Bailey's.

I used to be all about a latte macchiato with an extra shot, then I got hooked on café con leche. After I returned home I found out a flat white is as close as you can get, without being a jerk who explains their custom order to every barista.

Sounds quite a bit different, but certainly also like something worth trying when I come across it. Thanks!

First time trying a flat white my wife and I had an epiphany. We always ordered cappuccino but didn't care about the foam. Now it's our go to coffee, unless I need to get a real energy boost. In that case ristretto or espresso with sugar is my go to.

Neat. This has more than one seen on other charts. I guess only Italian variations, though? I was looking for cortado, but it's Spanish. It's most similar to the flat white but with 50/50 espresso and milk

[–] Maestro@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The Irish Coffee is wrong though. The whiskey goes in first, then the coffee.

Wait, it's all just espresso?

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Chocolate milk.

Is the only difference between a Con Panna and a Vienna Coffee the size of the cup?

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Here’s a blog that explains, and basically yes: https://www.brewcoffeehome.com/espresso-con-panna/

Cool graphic. Thanks for posting it.

I'm an Americano dude, myself.

I saw something on YouTube about pulling a shot of espresso and then adding ice and I think a little water and using the steam wand on this mix. You end up with a nitro coffee like drink. Might have to try it.
