When you’re in high school, or any stressful environment requiring bursts of energy and attention, caffeine is a staple, whether it be Dr. Pepper, Red Bull, black tea, or some form of coffee. Some people are big believers in the wonders of coffee, and some believe that it stunts your growth. Whatever the case, you cannot deny that coffee will ever go out of style. The chance of running into someone with a coffee cup in hand is inevitable. Now, there are many different types of coffee in this world and many different types of coffee drinkers; some prefer it with sugar, some with cream, and some have a ridiculous order that only they can remember. There are the obvious coffees: black coffee, coffee with cream or milk or sugar, lattes, cappuccinos, and frappuccinos. There are many other preparations of the beloved bean.
- Latte– cappuccino without the foam. There’s not much else to say… It’s good.
- Cappuccino– espresso with steamed milk foam. Pretty standard drink.
- Espresso– a highly concentrated shot of coffee you take right before cramming for finals.
- Espresso macchiato– espresso with milk foam, for the lighter studying you have to do.
- Espresso con panna– whipped cream and espresso, when you need to get some ~extra~ calories.
- Espresso con miele– espresso sweetened with honey. Save the bees by stealing their life’s work.
- Flat white– microfoam over single or double espresso… hip version of saying steamed milk foam.
- Caffe mocha– a chocolate flavored latte. Need I say more?
- Mochaccino– chocolate cappuccino.
- Doppio– a double espresso. The kind of coffee you need to get through a block day…
- Cortado– espresso mixed with warm milk.
- Affogato– espresso with ice cream…
- Cafe bonbon– sweetened condensed milk and espresso, crafted to make your heart stop if you have more than three.
* “Winter” is coming; stay warm. Drink coffee.
