Common English used when you enter a coffee shop to order:

1. Barista [coffee master]

Barista job definition: personnel engaged in coffee blending, preparation, and service.

Job duties include:

(1) Performing basic identification of coffee beans and blending coffee beans with different flavor profiles according to their characteristics;

(2) Using coffee equipment and coffee utensils to make coffee;

(3) Providing coffee service to customers;

(4) Spreading coffee culture.

2. Shot [one shot of espresso] One ounce of espresso. Each standard shot of espresso consists of three parts: rich golden crema, full body, and heart. Crema refers to the caramel-colored foam on the surface of the espresso, which disappears a few seconds after the espresso is brewed.

3. Espresso [espresso] The rich, fragrant coffee extracted using our espresso roast coffee beans. Espresso is usually served in a small coffee cup and is often used to create other unique coffee beverages.

4. Espresso Con Pana [espresso con panna] Espresso topped with smooth whipped cream.

5. Espresso Macchiato [espresso macchiato] Espresso gently marked with milk foam.

6. Caffe Latte [Caffe Latte] A smooth drink made in three stages: one shot of fresh espresso, hot milk added to fill the cup, and then a layer of fine, delicate milk foam on top, creating a surprising mouthfeel. Latte Macchiato is made in much the same way, with the only difference being that the milk must be added first, and then the coffee is added on top to "mark" it, making the mouthfeel even smoother. Macchiato is Italian for "marked."

7. Caffe Mocha [Caffe Mocha] A classic combination of rich espresso and high-quality chocolate, blended with fresh hot milk and topped with silky whipped cream.

8. Cappuccino [cappuccino] A typical Italian breakfast drink. It has less milk than a Latte but more milk foam. Generally speaking, "dry" refers to a cappuccino with more milk foam, while "wet" refers to a cappuccino with more milk.

9. Caffe Americano [americano] A combination of rich espresso and hot water, creating a full-flavored beverage with the deep taste of espresso.

10. Single [single shot of espresso] One shot of espresso [about one ounce] extracted from an espresso machine, usually drunk on its own or with steamed rich hot milk. Most small and medium drinks contain one shot of espresso.

11. Double [double shot of espresso] Two single shots of espresso, the standard for Starbucks grande drinks, but if you want your tall latte to have a stronger coffee flavor, you can tell the staff to add one more shot of espresso for you.

12. Short [small cup] At Starbucks, Short refers to an 8-ounce [about 240 ml] drink, best enjoyed after dinner.

13. Tall [medium cup] Tall refers to a 12-ounce [about 360 ml] drink, the size most people order.

14. Grande [large cup] At Starbucks, Grande refers to a 16-ounce [about 480 ml] drink. When you want to treat yourself well, this will be your best choice.

15. Low-fat [low-fat] When you want a lighter choice, you can use low-fat milk to make your own low-fat latte.

16. No Foam [no milk foam] Don't like the milk foam on your latte getting on your nose? You can tell the staff that you don't want milk foam, and then you will only get a combination of espresso and hot milk.

17. Dry [more milk foam] Means the amount of milk foam is greater than the amount of milk. If you like a cappuccino full of dense, sweet milk foam, you can tell the staff your request.

18. With room [leave some space] Means "I'd like to add some milk to my americano/daily selection coffee, please leave some space for me."

19. Whip [whipped cream] Short for Whipped cream. If you want to reduce the calories in your mocha, you can tell the staff, "No whip."

20. Vanilla [vanilla syrup], Hazelnut [hazelnut syrup], ……etc.
