is a coffee shop. Am i right?

Hi everyone, I am Niharika and welcome back. Well the most common point of meeting for students,

friends.social gatherings, business meetings is a coffee shop. Am i right? And at times

when you are with someone and you are not able to order your coffee correctly you feel

a little embarrassed. Am I right? So why face that embarrassment? So in this lesson today

we are gonna look at some phrases that would help you to order a cup of coffee. And if

you love coffee as much as I do then I am sure you look forward to order your coffee

every morning. So lets have look at some phrases here that would help you to order your coffee.

Now the very first thing that you do when you walk into a coffee shop and the coffee

shop guy would ask you "Hello Sir, what would you like to have today? So the first thing

that you do is you go to the counter and say "I would like to have.. and this is the way

you will begin your conversation that "I would like to have a ..." and now let's see some

phrases.

So the first thing is the size. Now most of the coffee shops follow different sizes or

serve different sizes of coffee. So, small is the small, tiny cup of coffee then we have

medium and then we have large. Now I would suggest to stick to these terms Small, medium.

large but there are some other phrases that are used in different coffee shops. Like Starbucks

do not follow these terms small,medium,large. The terms that they use are Tall , Grande

and Venti. SO, tall stands for the small cup of coffee then comes Grande which is medium

then we have Venti and infact there is another one Trenta or its trenta is extra large. So,if

you don't really care about the calories or about the money then yes you may go for a

Trenta but yes I worry too much about calories, I rather avoid to drink the Venti or Trenta.

I stick to Tall and Grande. So these are the terms that are used to order the size of the

cup for your coffee.

The next thing that you mention when you order for your coffee is the type of coffee. SO

the type of coffee that you would like to drink. Here are the most common ones that

I have put it on the board. The first one is Espresso. So Espresso when you are really

tired and exhausted and you want that instant energy then people like to order Espresso

shots. May be one shot of an Espresso or two shots of Espresso. So Espresso is strong black

coffee that is served without milk and it is highly concentrated. So its black coffee.

Another type of coffee is Latte. Latte is also espresso coffee but served with steamed

milk. It's Espresso with steamed milk. That's Latte. Now many people end up pronouncing

Espresso incorrectly. They end up saying Expresso,that's incorrect. The correct pronunciation of this

type of coffee is Espresso. SO make sure you make a note of that. So we have Espresso we

have Latte then we have cappuccino. Cappuccino is the most common type of coffee that most

of us really enjoy drinking. Cappuccino is again coffee which is served with steamed

milk and with some milk froth. That is really delicious! Milk froth I love it! So that's

Cappuccino for you. Coffee with milk and milk froth. Okay!

Another type of coffee that we have is commonly available in most of the coffee shops is Frappuccino.

Now Frappuccino is cold coffee. It is a sweetened cold coffee. Especially youngsters really

enjoy drinking this, I love it too and they also like to add,may be some whipped cream

or scoop of ice cream to it. SO Frappuccino is cold coffee and then the last type that I have mentioned

here is mochacinno another name to it which is Mocha Latte. Now, Mochacinno is coffee

served with steamed milk but the flavor is the chocolate flavor. SO chocolate syrup is

added to this type of coffee.It's regular coffee served with steamed milk but has chocolate

flavor to it. So, another term that's used is Cafe Mocha or Cafe Latte. These are different

terms for the same type of coffee which is mochaccino.

So you mentioned the size of coffee then you mentioned the type of coffee that you would

like to drink and then comes the type of milk. Now yes, there are different types of milk

as well. So of you are very particular about the kind of milk that you prefer please go

ahead and mention that to the coffee shop guy,

We have low fat, again people who like to watch what they eat and what they drink they

always prefer low fat milk. Then we have whole milk which is regular whole milk. We have

organic. Now many people are very particular about organic food. They like to eat the organic

bread, organic pulses and organic milk too. If you are particular about that and your

luck if the coffee shop serves organic milk then ask for it. Right! Then comes soy milk.

Now soy milk is plant milk which is produced by soaking soybeans. Now this type of milk

is perfect for the people who are lactose intolerant. People who cant easily digest

milk they prefer drinking soy milk because its easily digested. So that's soy milk.

And with your coffee if you are having Latte. Cappuccino, Frappuccino or mochacinno of-course

these types of coffee you gotta add milk then mention the type of milk you would like to

add. And then comes Flavor and Toppings. Many people

like to drink flavored coffee or they like to add something to their coffee so we have

some chocolate syrup many people like their coffee with some chocolate syrup or caramel.

Now I like caramel Frappuccino so if I would like to add some caramel syrup I will mention

that. So its caramel syrup that is the right way to pronounce it. Many people pronounce

is as caramel its incorrect the correct pronunciation is caramel. Then we have hazelnut, hazelnut

is another flavor that you can add to your coffee,we have vanilla and then some toppings.

Some people like to add some whipped cream to their coffee and some people also like

to add a scoop of ice cream now it depends what flavor of ice cream you would like to

have,so mention that. May be you wanna like scoop of chocolate ice cream to your coffee

then mention the flavor that you would like to have.

So this is the way you would order your coffee. lets just revise is.

You walk into the coffee shop,you order for your coffee. You say Hi I would like to have

a small cappuccino or small cup pf cappuccino with some low fat milk. I am very consious

about my calories so with some low fat milk and I would like to add some hazelnut flavor

to it. okay so that's how you would order for our coffee. Simple! AM i right ?

Now if you would also like to eat or munch on something along with your coffee then there

are various things that are available infact they are displayed in coffee shops. You have

muffins, you have cupcakes patisseries ,cookies and sandwiches too. so if you would like to

eat something along with your coffee then mention that as well. So the next time you

go to a coffee shop I am sure these phrases would be helpful to you and you will not face

any embarrassment. I will be back with a new lesson till then take care.
