MFK Coffee Addicts?

It's expensive, but there is something about the volcanic ash that does wonders for the beans.

Yup, the soil and altitude play a huge role. The farms that grow it are held to fairly high standards as well.

As far as breve goes, are we talking cappuccinos (breve is half and half)? Then yes, but with 4 shots. In anything else, it's too thick for me.

Yeah I gotta watch my figure. Your another one, what do I live in a bubble? Never heard the word breves in my life!

*lol* Actually, I always get wierd looks when I order a breve outside of washington state. It's when you use half and half instead of 2% milk in your latte. Makes it creamy and cuts a touch of the bitterness out.

4 shots gets me way too jittery now a days, I used to be able to handle it when younger. I go 2 shots normally in 24 oz, or 3 if it's really early. Buttcrack of dawn like 8pm.

Of course, I used to know people that did quad shots of white coffee in theirs *shudders*

I think I'd better get educated on what you Yanks call different coffee so I can order it when I visit next year, an uncle got some very strange looks when he asked for a "short black" at a cafe in one of the southern stated!

"Flat White" is my usual coffee of choice if I'm getting it from a cafe, similar to a latte but a bit stronger. I gave up trying to explain it to people in Germany when I was ordering coffee there and just drank it with cream instead....

Lol...........nobody uses 2% milk in coffee that must be some new thing, I always use half & half. They didn't need a special name for that, just say give me the half & half. World's becoming very complecated with all these new words for simple things. My kids tell me I'm a dinosaur, a mannaggia, sta zito! Which means roughly shut up, you.........get the idea. interesting stuff though with different parts of the country. Put the grinds in the basket, put water in the Percolator and put it on the stove.....10 - 15 mins tops done, coffee, not complecated.

First bit of advise ... don't call us Yanks unless you are in the Northeast (Boston, NY). Depending where you are, you are quite likely to get a punch throw at you!!!!

And yeah, each region seems to have it's own lingo. I can't order a Nutty Irishman breve most places, because they have no clue what that is. I'd assume a short black is either normal drip coffee or an espresso shot. I would have had no idea what your flat white was without clicking the link though.

2% is what is used in a latte if you are ordering the 'fancy coffee' types normally. But I agree the names have gotten out of hand. I wasn't talking about normal, or 'drip' coffee as it's called out here.

What?

FYI, Bostonians do not want to be called Yanks either, since Boston and the surrounding areas(including my area) is known as RedSox nation.............it a baseball thing. Right Aqaunero?
