Lokesh Dhakar had already made something of a name for himself among web builders for his very spiffy Lightbox image manipulation scripts — scripts which, by the way, drive many of the the galleries and slide shows that you’ll find here on Bloggle.
He’s upped the ante with his latest contribution to a world in want of caffeination… an illustrated guide to espresso drinks.
I’m new to the world of fancy coffee drinks. With the vast number of ordering options and new words with accented characters to pronounce; the coffee shop ordering experience can be intimidating. I’ve created a few small illustrations to help myself and others wrap their head around some of the small differences.

While I expect his contribution won’t bring an end to the incessant arguments about coffee drinks and their proportions, it does offer an informed, common point of reference. Maybe it’s the beginning of a period table of espresso elements. ;)
I didn’t even know that Espresso con Panna existed! Oh man does that sound yummy (mmmm….fat….).
The Americano is a great alternative to a regular coffee in places where you’re not sure if the drip is fresh. Though it will melt your tongue.
Espresso con Panna *is* yummy.
And I think that my preferred rendition of a cappuccino would be defined on this list as a flat white… skip the foam please, and pour me a proper rosette, instead. ;)
