ORDERING COFFEE OVERSEAS, ITALY&FRANCE

Something that every coffee lover needs to know is how to order his or her favourite in another language.

Here is a simple cheat sheet to refer to:

Italian                      French                    What to say             Pronounced

Espresso                  Cafe                        Cafe                        Ca-fay
Cappucino               Cafe Creme            Un Creme               Uhn Khrem
Macchiate                Noisette                  Une Noisette           Eywoon Nuh-wah-zet

Italian:
(Un) espresso per favore, grazie.
(one) espresso please, thankyou


French:
(un) cafe s'il vous plaît, merci.
(one) espresso please, thankyou
