      I’ve personally have never heard of coconut milk in cà phê sữa đá (iced [condensed] milk coffee) before.

      You must be thinking about cà phê dừa (coconut coffee), which usually has coconut milk and condensed milk

      Though a hot small cup of cà phê trứng (egg coffee) is the best. You beat egg yolk into condensed milk and sugar, and then pour it into coffee. And it’s so nice and creamy

    I like the graphic but it needs to expand beyond espresso.

    Cafezinho: Boil water and sugar, add coffee grounds, strain and serve.

    Turkish coffee: Like cafezinho but not strained. Optionally add cardamom.

    Cowboy coffee / backpacker’s special: Cheap coarse-ground coffee, boiled and served unstrained. A little chewy but it does the job.

    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

    Hate it when I order a Ristretto but the waiter brings an espresso. Great, now I am 5% more energized than I wanted to be

      i can imagine a drop of lemon in a bitter coffee may balance it a bit. and the aroma combo isnt bad.

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

      Espresso is to a pour-over as Red Bull is to a soda. It gets the job done, but the taste isn’t nearly as nice. A pour-over or even a slow auto-drip tastes so much better on its own to me than espresso-based drinks, and paper filtering gets rid of sterols that French press and espressos don’t, so it may also be healthier if you are drinking 4 cups a day.

        Sounds like you either don’t like strong flavors, or haven’t had good espresso. Modern espresso even can have paper filters.

        Espresso is so much better. The coffee is more full-bodied, smooth, and nuanced. You must not have had good espresso.

        Drip coffee is just dirty water.

          To each their own, I suppose. It’s certainly possible I’ve never had good espresso, but I’ve had it at a bunch of different coffee shops that tout it as their specialty and it doesn’t seem to vary much in flavor. I don’t think it’s bad - I like it because it’s coffee - I just prefer a light roast pour-over and have gotten a nicer range of flavors out of pour-overs. I don’t have a fancy palate, though, when I want a caffeine fix any pre-ground canned grocery coffee or gas station drip does the trick. Or tea, even.

            It sounds like we could be friends. I agree with everything you said in both comments. Light roast pour over all the way.

              Hello new pal, what have you been sipping lately? I just polished off a bag of Kuva beans from Brazil.

                This looks like a very enjoyable bean! Thanks for introducing me to Kuva, seems like a good brand. Unfortunately they only ship within the US, but I this makes sense - don’t want to get stale beans delivered overseas.

                I’ve just moved to a new city and am trying out a local roaster’s bourbon and caturra from Guatemala .
