You forgot espresso ristretto, espresso con panna - espresso topped with a whipped cream. And hot chocolate milano - super thick and smooth liquid chocolate topped with whipped cream. Café Nero is coffee heaven.

wow...that was some comix, lol I never thought there was so many different types of coffee. Now I'll be able to know what to order.

i started drinking coffee as a baby b/c my mom put it in my bottle mixed with milk, so ive always drankit, but now i finaly understand the differences between the types of coffee.

i love this comic. so cuuute! and even though i've had plenty of coffee experience, i now have a bit of a clearer understanding of the difference between a latte & a cappuccino. :3

It's hilarious when someone orders an espresso not knowing what it is.

What a cute comic! It's so original... and I love Kiki Jones' work! And for some reason I am really craving Starbucks, now. Hm... I wonder why? o_O

But you forgot to tell the world about Frappechinos

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS COMIC!I'm pretty coffee-savvy myself, but I learned so many new things! Now whenever my friends and I are at Starbucks and they're wondering what something is, I can tell them! Thanks Kiki!

Paris, get a life... really, child. You are very immature and stupid if you somehow find a way to be angry about this cool, informative, cute comic

Im not really a coffee lover, but I have had a starbucks latte once. I just love the idea of going to get a coffee, sitting down at the cafe, you know...not necesarily ordering coffee...hehe
Posted by: giuli707 | Apr 12, 2008 at 03:30 PM
Heh. I work at one of those, and I wish I could like.. print out this comic and put it on the menu so people know what they're ordering. ^__^ Really cute stuff, absolutely adorable.

I thought I would have to stop going on Gurl b/c of Rachel Nabor's departure, but it looks like I have a new comic love. Long live Kiki Jones!
Posted by: Crysta A. | Apr 11, 2008 at 08:00 PM
This was so cute! I'm actually barista too, making funky new drinks is the best part of my job!
Posted by: Ariel | Apr 11, 2008 at 07:48 PM
thanks kiki, i didnt know all that! thx a bunch now i know whats in the drinks and wat im going to order at starbucks!
(btw my last name is jones too! just had to let you know...)
Posted by: simona | Apr 11, 2008 at 03:42 PM
Cute comic, but it irks me simply because a serious coffee/tea enthusiast should know that it's just "chai", not "chai tea". "Chai tea" is like saying "chai tea tea".
For the record.
Posted by: Lotus | Apr 11, 2008 at 12:27 AM
Haha, that was cute! I'm a barista... and making crazy drinks like the rainbow thing is the best part of the job!!! haha
Posted by: Simone | Apr 10, 2008 at 08:48 PM
Thank Blog for this, I had no idea! XD
Posted by: Mandi | Apr 10, 2008 at 08:18 PM
I always get a Hot Chocoalte at Starbucks, becuase I don't know what else is good...=)
