Codes - Hot and Cold Beverages Flashcards
A
Caffè Americano
Rich, full-bodied espresso with hot water in true European style.
In Europe, coffee is essentially espresso – which, in America, isn’t very much coffee. To create a caffè americano – a coffee that satisfies the American preference for more sips in every cup – Europeans simply add hot water to their espresso. While the americano is similar in strength and taste to American-style brewed coffee, there are subtle differences achieved by pulling a fresh shot of espresso for the beverage base. The best way to discover these nuances, of course, is to try a cup yourself.
DID YOU KNOW
Whereas water is added to espresso after it’s been extracted in a caffè americano, a lungo, or long espresso, is made by passing more water through the espresso machine.
L
Caffè Latte
Rich, full-bodied espresso in steamed milk, lightly topped with foam.
This is the original coffeehouse classic. And like most classics, part of its appeal comes from its simplicity. A caffè latte is simply a shot or two of bold, tasty espresso with fresh, sweet steamed milk over it. Some prefer to add syrup or extra espresso to the recipe. Some maintain that it is entirely perfect as is.
DID YOU KNOW
The first English language use of the term caffè latte is credited to American author William Dean Howells in his 1867 essay “Italian Journeys”.
M
Caffè Mocha
Espresso with bittersweet mocha sauce and steamed milk. Topped with sweetened whipped cream.
There’s no question chocolate and coffee are flavors that meant for each other. Both are rich and full of depth. Where one is creamy, the other is roasty. They complement each other perfectly. And when they come together under a fluffy cloud of sweetened whipped cream, you’ll wish their union would last forever.
DID YOU KNOW
A few centuries ago, the port of Mocha in Yemen was a major center for the coffee trade and its name became associated with the chocolaty-tasting coffee bean that was its hottest export.
C
Cappuccino
Espresso with steamed milk, topped with a deep layer of foam.
With less milk than a latte, cappuccino offers a stronger espresso flavor and a luxurious texture. To make it properly requires much skill and attentiveness. Arguably the most important part is frothing the foam to velvety perfection as the milk steams – something our baristas take great care to achieve. The milky moustache that clings to your upper lip is proof we’ve made yours right. And may we say, you wear it well.
DID YOU KNOW
Cappuccino is considered mostly a breakfast beverage in Italy, while espressos are enjoyed any time of day.
Caramel Flan Latte
Espresso with steamed milk and caramel flavors of creamy flan. Topped with caramel-infused whipped cream and caramel flan drizzle.
Wrap your winter-chilled hands around this dessert-inspired beverage. Our new Caramel Flan Latte starts with the perfect shot of espresso and freshly steamed milk—and then we add plenty of caramel flan deliciousness for a truly heartwarming treat.
DID YOU KNOW

Scores of people are passionate devotees of this signature beverage. So bewitched are they, you’d think it was some kind of magical elixir. Well there’s no hocus pocus here. We’ll tell you exactly what goes into it: creamy vanilla-flavored syrup, freshly steamed milk with a topping of velvety-rich foam, an intense hit of our Espresso Roast, a finishing of buttery caramel drizzle … okay, we take it back. That does sounds like magic to us. (And it tastes even better.)
DID YOU KNOW
Macchiato is an Italian word meaning “marked.” So a latte macchiato is steamed milk marked with a little espresso, while a caffè macchiato is espresso marked with a little milk.
CDL
Cinnamon Dolce Latte
Espresso with steamed milk and cinnamon dolce flavored syrup. Topped with sweetened whipped cream and cinnamon dolce topping.
Like a homemade dessert freshly baked by mom, handcrafted indulgences like this are as comforting as they are satisfying.

DID YOU KNOW

EM
Espresso Macchiato
Espresso topped with steamed milk foam.
Sometimes a touch is just enough. And so it is with the slight dab of foam we set atop our signature espresso in this classic European-style beverage.

Flavored Latte
Espresso and steamed milk, flavored with syrup.
The wonderful thing about coffee is that it blends so nicely with such a variety of flavors. We know there are purists who like their coffee straight up. And certainly our coffees stand alone quite well. But for those who like to experiment with the world of flavors that lend interesting nuances of taste to their rich, espresso-based beverages, we think a shot of flavored syrup is just what their latte calls for.

Espresso, pumpkin-flavored syrup and steamed milk. Topped with sweetened whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices.
As friends come together to mark the end of summer and anticipate coming festivities, there is one warm treat that has come to stand above all others – one that we get asked for again and again and again because people love it so much.
The Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) is a fall favorite. Signature espresso blended with the unmistakable spices of fall – cinnamon, nutmeg and clove – smooth with steamed milk, topped with delectably sweetened whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices.
And this year is a special one for pumpkin heads. That’s because their beloved PSL turns ten this year. We invite you join us and celebrate a decade of pumpkin devotion and the return of fall with the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Salted Caramel Mocha
Espresso and steamed milk, blended with mocha sauce and toffee nut flavored syrup. Topped with sweetened whipped cream, caramel drizzle and a mixture of turbinado sugar and sea salt.
Fall is full of sprinkles and drizzles. There are the sprinkles of rain falling from the cooling air. Drizzles that drip from awnings and changing leaves, … but not all that sprinkles or drizzles dampens our spirits.
Take for instance the sprinkles of sugar and sea salt atop a drizzle of buttery caramel all layered over sweetened whipped cream on our Salted Caramel Mocha. No rainy day could ever ruin this chocolaty treat. So why add the sprinkle of salt? Well, a tiny sprinkle of our premium sea salt and sugar topping deepens the rich flavors in this luxurious combination. Salty and sweet is the perfect way to warm up the rainy days of fall.
