p][h3]How to Say Coffee in Australian[/h3] Of great interest to me in Oz was how one orders coffee down under. Australians, like any coffee lovers, have their own bean lingo, and a term to learn if you're ordering espresso in Asutralia: flat white. Like a latte, but less milk; foam is folded in to the hot milk and less foam left on top And cappuccinos down under always come with chocolate.

Check out the Melbourne Coffee Review blog -- one bean means "bloody worth looking up" and two beans signifies "something extra ordinary here." Three beans? Close to s-e-x, according to Aussie coffee guy Peter Christo.
