A simple how-to for any espresso drink you could want
By Colin Lecher Posted 01.29.2013 at 6:00 pm 7 Comments

Maybe you're tired of brewing your cups of joe in an old coffee pot. Maybe you're ready to try something a little tastier. But where to start?

Well, the appropriately named designer Jay Mug Orbit Visual Graphic Design Studio has made this chart breaking down the contents of just about every popular espresso beverage. This is also good stuff to know if you find yourself at a chichi espresso bar, utterly confused about the menu. A flat white? A one-to-two ratio of espresso and steamed milk (duh). Mocha breve? Equal parts mocha, half and half, and chocolate.

Try them all! (Just not in one sitting.)

I thought the four basic food groups were "Beer, Cigarettes, Coffee, and Pizza.
