How many ways can you order a coffee?

Have you ever thought how many ways you can order coffee at the café? It is easy to say: ‘one coffee’, less easy is to understand how many variations you can ask for it at the café.

There really are many, we have identified a few and in this short list we would like to reveal them to you.

A cold macchiato coffee as above, but with cold milk.

Cold/hot macchiato coffee with skimmed milk They understand and then they do.

A foamy coffee an original way of requesting a hot latte macchiato with whipped milk. A mini cappuccino, in short

A Moroccan coffee here things get a bit complicated, because there are different recipes for making it and different ways of calling it. Basically, it is a foamed coffee with cocoa powder added. The funny thing is that its genesis is actually in Piedmont, more precisely in Alessandria.

A decaffeinated coffee or deca, for those in a hurry. Suitable for those who love coffee but fear the effects of caffeine.
