Coffee Coffee Coffee (tell me more!)

A coffee-aholic's dictionary:

a shot- a infusion of life or also known as a compression brewed, shot glass worth of coffee. A very strong dose in a small amount.

a latte- yummy in a cup or also known as a shot of coffee mixed with milk (or soy milk)

a white mocha- one of my favorite beverages or also known as a latte with white chocolate syrup or sauce added. Note: sauce is always better than syrup. When in doubt choose sauce!

an americano- better than a cup of coffee or also known as a shot(s) combined with water to make in essence a cup of coffee. The difference: it's a bit stronger and smoother (if made correctly)

12 seconds- the amount of time a shot lasts before it "burns." Ever wonder why your drink sometimes tastes like the coffee is burnt? It's probably because your shot expired. To save a shot it must be added to milk or water. If either is added before the 12 second mark then the shot will be saved. Hallelujah!

a pumpkin spice latte- fall in a cup or also known as a latte with pumpkin added (also see white mocha)
