Espresso Coffee Drinks - A Visual Guide

I love coffee. Started with the stuff at age 4, mebbe 5. I remember my breakast was a cup of espresso with a teaspoon of condensed milk. A slice of twice-toasted baguette for dipping. Yum. Yeah, yeah... I know. Too young to drink coffee. Don't judge. It was a different time, different era. Different culture.

With so many coffee houses around nowadays, I get to indulge in my addiction with relative ease. My favourite drink is 6 shots over ice. I used to do 3 of those everyday while in my 20s. Yup, I was young AND stupid.

Anyhoo, to celebrate the weekend & more time to drink coffee(!)... here's a small reference on what goes into the fancy drink that pimply kid in corner is jerking off JUST for you. Enjoy!

Sooo funny!  I absolutely LOVE the way you embrace your addiction...shows real spirit and love of life.  I like coffee but not good at the caffeine thing.  Thanks for the info and laugh! ~MiChelle
