Coffee shops in Taiwan are getting more and more like American ones,
with lots of different choices of coffee.
You could have a cappuccino(卡布奇諾咖啡), an espresso(義式濃縮咖啡), or a
latte(拿鐵) – that's a shot of strong espresso coffee with a whole cup of hot milk.
Latte is actually the Italian word for milk. So caffe latte really means a milky coffee.
Because a latte has a lot of milk, it can be quite fattening, so people who
are on a diet have it made with skimmed milk. And that's a skinny latte(低脂拿鐵).
Well, in the summer-time you might have a cafe frappe.
That's an iced coffee(冰咖啡).
And the coffee chain Starbucks sell frappuccinos(frappe+Cappuccino)(星冰樂).
They're flavoured iced coffee drinks. They've made up that name by combining
cappuccino with frappe.
Now you know about all the different types of coffee you could order.
What kind of coffee do you prefer?
