 COFFEE STYLE - Styles of coffee from around the world
Espresso "Espresso" is Italian for "express" or "fast". Espresso is reputed to be the base of all great coffees. Although the praise for this style of coffee goes to the Italians, the Italians serve espresso in a "demitasse" (half-cup) containing 1 1/2 ounces of rich, dark, coffee with a golden crema. For those who like an intense coffee experience.
Cappuccino A frothy mixture of espresso and steamed milk with a dollop of frothed milk on top.
Americano Espresso with hot water added.
Latte Espresso with steamed milk on top (more milky than a cappuccino)
Corretto Espresso spiked with a spirit. e.g. Grappa
Romano Espresso served with a slice of lemon
Ristretto Double-strength espresso
Con Panna Espresso topped with a dollop of whipped cream
Granita de Caffee Cold espresso poured over crushed ice
Cafe au Lait French coffee with milk
Demi-Creme Half coffee - Half Cream or Milk
Cafe con Leche Spanish or Portuguese dark roasted coffee mixed with sugar and served with heated milk.

 COFFEE DRINKERS AROUND THE WORLD
There are as many ways to drink coffee as there are countries.

Coffee is drunk by a third of the worlds population, yet no two nations seem to serve their coffee in the same way.
Arabia People in the Arab world like a tiny, sweet cup of coffee
Spain People in Spain like strong coffee some with milk, like cafe solo, cafe con leche or cafe cortado served in a glass.
France For breakfast, the French like to drink their coffee in bowls, scented with chicory.
Holland The Dutch like their coffee strong, served in individual pots with sugar, a jug of cream and a glass of water.
Italy The Italians created espresso coffee, which is very strong. It is served without milk in tiny cups.
Russia This is a nation of tea drinkers. However, when they do drink coffee, they take it black, with sugar and a slice of lemon.
Southern India The people of southern India enjoy their coffee with plenty of milk and sugar. It helps to soothe their palates after a spicy hot meal.
Sudan The Sudanese stir cloves and other spices into the coffee and sever it black, from a jug.
Turkey In Turkey, the dregs of coffee grains lining your empty cup are used to tell your fortune. Turkish coffee is made with very fine coffee grounds, sugar and water, which are placed in an "Ibrik" then brought to the boil. The resulting coffee is very strong and thick.
America Americans prefer a lightly roasted coffee with a dash of cream.
