One of my dreams is to open a coffee shop with a bookstore. One of the marvelous things about living in the Bay area is that there are coffee shops on practically every corner. Heck, there's one a few blocks down from my house! Ah, but, are they the real thing or are they just the proudly proliferating [while puttin outta business locals] Starbucks? We'll be lucky if, between, Starbucks & Barnes & Noble, one on every corner, if there are any real deals left in a few years. But, I love looking at books in a bookstore in Brooklyn's Park Slope because the smell of the coffee is so divine.

My husband makes the best coffee, much better than any I've had at a coffeehouse. He uses Starbucks coffee (don't tell anyone about that

<Hazarding a guess Coffee Americano is coffee with cold milk or half-and-half added???? Nope, espresso and water. About as tasty as it sounds. Hey, CoffeeSnob, while you're answering Christine's question, you might as well answer this one, too: What's the difference between frothed milk and steamed milk? Isn't frothed milk made frothy by steam? (Can ya tell I'm not a cappuccino or a latte drinker?) Okay, briefly, steamed milk is just milked that's been heated quickly by steam. Frothed milk is hot milk that's been heated by steam, but that's been made foamy. But, how is it made foamy? Via agitation? IOW, is it whipped up into a frenzy? [giggle] Agitation via steam. You raise and lower the milk around the steam valve thing (it has a name, but I'm blanking on it right now), it's pretty cool. turner

(Christine W. Meyer) stopped watching their stories long enough to say: One of my dreams is to open a coffee shop with a bookstore. One of the marvelous things about living in the Bay area is that there are coffee shops on practically every corner. Heck, there's one a few blocks down from my house! Ah, but, are they the real thing or are they just the proudly proliferating [while puttin outta business locals] Starbucks? We'll be lucky if, between, Starbucks & Barnes & Noble, one on every corner, if there are any real deals left in a few years. But, I love looking at books in a bookstore in Brooklyn's Park Slope because the smell of the coffee is so divine. One in every five coffeeshops in America is a Starbucks. At this rate, all of America will be owned by Microsoft-Time-Warner-AOL-Coke-Disney-Starbucks-Barnes-and-Noble-Wal-Mart within as few as three year. turner

I think it's generational, and like GH's Alexis, I'm finally learning things about coffee everyone I know who is younger than me seems to know already! [Wondering if Java Jingo is required in high school now.] So, what's the equivalence WRT [with respect to] Turkish coffee, a particularly ethnic espresso? At this point, I have a medical need for coffee, so that's partially where my interest comes from <g. But since you ask, Turkish coffee is ground very finely, and made in a special pot called a raqwa. It's heated until it frothes, dumped into a cup and then heated again. The grounds are left in while you drink, but you stop they settle completely to the bottom. So, it's a bit like espresso. turner
