Coffee is no longer just a morning picker-upper, it's an obession for some.
It's a luxury, something you get to pamper yourself and an outlet for the high-maintenance soul inside. For the uneducated, the world of gourmet coffee is not as confusing as it sounds. At the core of most gourmet coffee drinks is the shot of Espresso. In France you would order Un Express or Un Cafe. Take your shot of Espresso, steam a little milk, add the milk and foam to the Espresso and you have a Cappuccino.
