Answer 1

Well think you would prob like the americano more then anything but as have been told b4 ask to try some b4 u buy - unlike most places they will be happy to help

Answer 2

music lover is right . This is New York and Starbucks is a johnny-come-lately . If you want Starbucks type coffee go to the village or little Italy and get the real thing.
Your basic NYC coffee is either a Colombian or an arabica blend.
In addition if you want a coffee with milk and 2 sugars to go you order a "regular "
I don't know where you're going to be staying but if you find yourself in the area of 80th and Broadway go into Zabars . It is one of the great gourmet food stores in America and their selection of roast coffees is amazing-hell the whole store is amazing.
make sure you get some of their almond croissants and if you need to taste a real NYC bagel go next door to H&H
A hot just out -of- the- oven toasted onion bagel with a schmere of green onion cream cheese is a thing of beauty
To make it easier to find Zabars has an orange and white awning.
if your in SOHO stop by Dean & Delucas on Prince and Broadway for similiar product selection .
It is also perfectly acceptable to ask for a taste of something that you may not be familiar with; in fact it's expected.

Answer 3

Try Java, Arabica, Hawaiian Kona coffee, Jamaica Blue Mountain, Colombia, Costa Rica And Guatemala; Sumatra, Java, New Guinea and Sulawesi; Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia an finnaly Timor, one recente but very aromatic coffee type.

Answer 4

We drink coffee like you drink tea and we have it all day long. Unless your at a coffee house or (forgive me for this) a Starbucks, if you ask for a coffee you'll get a big cup of hot brewed columbian coffee, and you put in the cream and sugar yourself to taste or tell them you want it light, light and sweet, black, etc.

Go to a Dunkin' Donuts and get a coffee there instead of starbucks - its an arabica bean and is much better (not acidic, and you can get a great donut). Skip going to Crispy Cream donuts. If you want a chain coffeehouse go to the Juan Valdez coffee shops - better than starbucks and usually free internet access.

Go to a local coffehouse for the best coffee, it will be the "house blend" for a coffee like above and they'll have a menu of everything else you can imagine, and you'll get a taste of NY.

Where / when will you be going?

Espresso ........... [ess-PRESS-o]
A 1-2 ounce drink made in by forcing hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee beans. Typically, espresso beans are darkly roasted but this is not a requirement.

CafÉ CrÈme
The French name for Cappuccino

Cafecito
A Cuban coffee drink made from espresso and caramelized sugar.

CaffÈ Americano
Espresso diluted (after brewing) with an equal portion of hot water. Not everyone agrees: "Not necessarily. In many places an 'Americano' may be a 'regular' coffee from a coffee maker."Some definitions of Americano claim it is espresso being diluted with 'regular' coffee.

CaffÈ Corretto
Espresso with a dash of an alcoholic beverage, e.g. sambuca

CaffÈ Freddo
Iced coffee

CaffÈ Lungo
A 'long pull' espresso. It is an espresso
diluted by allowing a longer extraction
thereby resulting in a weaker drink.

Doppio
A double shot (4 oz.) shot of espresso

Espresso Con Panna
[ess-PRESS-o cone PA-na]
Espresso with a dollop of whipped cream.

Espresso Granita
Frozen espresso, crushed and served in a parfait glass topped with whipped cream. American versions combine espresso, milk & sugar and then freeze the mixture in special dispensing machines. This is also know as a Granita Latte.

Espresso Ristretto
A 'short pull' (stronger) espresso. "A ristretto is an espresso made with less (half?) the water used for a regular espresso.

Espresso Romano

Granita Latte

Iced Cappuccino
A single or double shot of espresso over crushed ice with an once or two of cold milk and milk froth.

Iced Espresso
Usually a double shot of espresso over crushed ice, possibly with whipped cream.

Latte Macchiato
Author Kenneth Davids defines this as "a glass filled with hot frothed milk, into which a serving of espresso is slowly dribbled. The coffee colors, or stains the milk in faint, graduated layers, darker at the top shading to light at the bottom, all contrasting with the layer of pure white foam at the top."

Lattecino
Espresso with steamed milk and about a half inch of milk foam on top. (NOTE: This is commonly served as "latte" in some parts of the country.) Some enthusiasts feel this name is a pretentious invention by overly imaginative coffee shops.

Moccaccino
See Mocha Latte (and also CaffÈ Mocha)

Mocha Latte
Acording to Kenneth Davids, "a milkier version of the classic [CaffÈ] Mocha. If I were to suggest proportions for this invention, they would be one-quarter properly strong espresso, one-quarter properly strong chocolate, and one-half milk and froth."

Moka/Mokka
The kind of coffee you get when you use a stove top espresso maker. "It's not quite espresso, so it doesn't really fall under that category." Don't confuse this with 'CaffÈ Mocha' listed above.
