Australians love their coffee, and exceptional cafés and coffee shops can be found all over Melbourne. However, the country has its own coffee lingo, so here’s how to order what you want:

Short Black — an espresso

Long Black — an espresso “elongated” with hot water (ideal for folks who like basic brewed coffee)

Cappuccino — an espresso with equal parts steamed milk and milk froth

Latte — an espresso topped off with lots of steamed milk and a bit less froth than a cappuccino

Flat White — a stronger version of a cappuccino, meaning more espresso (generally two shots) and less steamed milk and froth

Iced Latte — a cold espresso with milk and ice cubes

Iced Coffee — a cold espresso with milk and ice cream
