Ordering Coffee in Europe:

Tip for how to get a proper tasting iced coffee while in Europe, where they only have espresso. You have to order an Americano with ice. But they make iced Americanos with hot water and 2 shots of espresso then just add ice , so you just get super watery lukewarm espresso.. so you have to tell them to use cold water (out of the tap or wherever) plus the ice, then the 2 shots of espresso, and you will get a semi-american style iced coffee.

Ordering Coffee in Australia:

Ordering coffee is very different from the US.
Long black = double shot of espresso and water (similar to an Americano).
Iced Coffee= coffee and ice cream (not coffee over ice!).
Flat White= similar to a latte with 1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk.
