I think this is the same as an Americano?!?!?! Maybe some coffee expert will step up and straighten me out here.įlat white - two shots of espresso with steamed milk.
Long Black - two shots of espresso, with hot water. Short Black - two shots of espresso, straight up. Here is your vocabulary lesson for the day, how to order coffee like a Kiwi… Finally, I did some sleuthing (read: I asked a Kiwi) and figured out what these terms mean. The next time, I branched out and ordered a flat white, because the white part implied it would have milk in it. Clearly, I was going to have to figure out the cheaper coffee options. What one earth was a long black? Or a short one for that matter? The barista was tapping the cash register in impatience, so I ordered the only familiar thing on the menu–a latte. The first time I walked into a cafe in New Zealand, I was stymied. The catch? You have to learn to order coffee like a Kiwi.
Now, New Zealand may be in the dark ages when it comes to wifi, but it redeems itself by having delicious espresso on every street corner. I’ve always believed that you can measure the strength of a civilization by the strength of its coffee and its wifi signals.
