    The Perfect Pour Diagrams the Ratios of Fancy Coffee Drinks

    Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

    Not every coffee shop has space on its menu chalkboard to explain the contents of their gazillion drinks with exotic names. Design firm Plaid Creative illustrates how much of each thing goes into coffee shop favorites, along with more obscure recipes.

    We've pointed to a similar coffee drink graphic before, but to each their own. Lokesh Dhakar's coffee diagram shows the volumes of each drink ingredient as vertical stacks, while Creative Plaid uses radial ratios to carve out the numbers.

    While you're drooling over what you can make at home, or what the spot around the corner offers, keep in mind how caffeine affects your mind and work. > http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ad.php?t=12762

    Don't forget to drink it with your pinkie sticking out. Not doing so would be considered uncouth.

    About 6 months ago, an vacant coffee shop in town (a Dunkin Donuts wannabe) was re-opened as a sandwich and pastry shop. I stopped there today for the first time. the roast beef on honey wheat (with lettuce, tomato, onion, and provolone) was good, but nothing to write home about. (Wait a minute - I AM writing home about it right now. )

    HOWEVER, I got an iced coffee and I have to say that it was about the best I've ever tasted.

    My favorite is still espresso. Full 8 oz. mug with 5 teaspoons of sugar (did you catch that, BENESSE?) and a tiny sliver of lemon peel.

    I use this brand:

    Okay, here's a confession. My coffee maker has one of those stainless steel carafe pots. Keeps coffee hot about 12 hours, and keeps it fresh for 3 days. Guess how I know that.....

    I'm with ya......I use to drive trucks, long distance, and getting coffee was like this...

    Waitress-Coffee?
    Me-Yes, please.
    Waitress poors coffee into cup.

    (Cream and sugar were on the table......if you wanted it in your coffee, you put some in there.)

    A turbo ice with dark roast, cream and sugar from Dunkin donuts is one of the best iced coffees I have had.

    For those of you from less learned environments ; A shot of expresso in a regular coffee (in this case dark roast) over ice.
