Should be laminated in every coffee shop on the planet so I can order a red eye w/o having to explain it every time.
It’s “CAFFELATTE” (or “CAFFÉ LATTE”) and “TRIPLO”, by the way.
Cheers,

Not to be a stickler or anything but this is grossly wrong. A few examples corrected, based on a 12 oz. drink (of course it might fluctuate a bit. But only a bit.
Americano: long pull espresso shot (approx. 2-2.5 oz.), fill with hot water
Breve: Shot of espresso (approx. 1-1.5 oz.), fill with steamed half and half
Cafelatte: Shot of espresso, fill with steamed milk, top with foamed milk
Cappuccino: Shot of espresso, fill to 1/2-2/3 full with steamed milk (depending on wet or dry order), fill with foamed milk
Macchiato: Shot of espresso, dollop of foamed milk (this drink will not fill a 12 oz glass, but is served in a demitasse, optional is topping of shaved or ground cocoa or cinnamon. This is my favorite drink, hence I’m fairly particular about its preparation.)
Red Eye: 1-2 shots espresso, fill with black coffee (This one is fascinating to me because of its many names: Shot in the Dark, Red Eye, Hammerhead, Al Pacino, depth charge. I’m always amused with the names.)
I’m surprised they mentioned Cubano without explaining it’s preparation. It’s basically a shot of espresso with a lot of sugar. The trick is in the preparation. You place a few teaspoons of bleached (white) sugar in a metal container. While pulling the shot, catch the first few (the darkest) drops of espresso in the container with sugar and catch the rest in another container. Stir the sugar with the espresso for a long time, until it begins to “whip” into a paste. Next, you pour the remaining espresso in with the espresso/sugar paste and it begins to foam. It is then served in a small glass.
Cheers.

Thanks Coffee Snob. Much more accurate.
Don’t get me wrong. I do appreciate the graphic and the aesthetic of the design.
too many mistakes. http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/2007/08/20/an-illustrated-coffee-guide/
Thanks COFFEE SNOB, we appreciate the corrections.
Several variations on recipes have been floated to us from all over. We will try to incorporate as many as possible into a happy medium soon.
Either way, thanks for the interest in our design, we’ll be having them printed in the near future. You can check back with our blog if you’d like to see our progress or get a copy.
So, whoever did this really needs a lesson in coffee. So many errors.
