I'd suggest a business card size for us coffee novices to carry with us. By the way, how do you order just coffee? I still don't know what I'm ordering half the time. What ever happened to small, medium, and large? I love the visual guide. I’d suggest a business card size for us coffee novices to carry with us. By the way, how do you order just coffee?

It's much easier to have a visual guide as it will be remembered by most people. I think the uniform cup size is misleads people though. I might have a go at this myself tonight. You can then rip it apart as way of retribution ;-) I agree. It’s much easier to have a visual guide as it will be remembered by most people. I think the uniform cup size is misleads people though.

I never said this was the best example :=) Just that having something like this could be beneficial.

It fuels the flames of miss education IMHO I would have made all the cups different sizes as well to further accentuate the difference between drinks. In the UK we have a massive problem with the public view of what a latte and a cappuccino are. The only difference being that one has chocolate on and has more badly textured foam floating on it. They are both the same size. The more anyone can do to separate the two drinks the better. I just don’t think that this does that! Rant over!

It suggests that a Cappuccino is the same as a Latte in volume.
