Caffè espresso obviously. A colleague was in the Highlands recently and somebody in the queue before them asked for two white coffees and one espresso... All three were made exactly the same way - coffee granules into the cups

Anyway, a ristretto is what you really want.

Never had a ristretto. Been recommended a couple of times now.

...what is one?

I used to always say expresso but was suitably reprimanded

I think it's an espresso but with less water.

I prefer my cappuccino dry. Which often confuses baristas. However, when they get it right its delish.

Did you know you could get a 'short' size drink in starf ucks? It's not advertised on the menu because they want customers to pay more money for the larger sizes.

Virtually ground coffee on its own then

Call me old fashioned but I like my drinks wet

Is that not usually much, much later after the meal?
