Australians call coffee "coffee," just like most English-speaking countries.
However, there are some unique terms and preferences within Australian coffee culture:
Australian Coffee Culture:
- Flat White: A popular coffee drink consisting of espresso with microfoam, originating in Australia.
- Long Black: Similar to an Americano, but with a stronger espresso base.
- Short Black: A single shot of espresso.
- Cappuccino: While enjoyed worldwide, Australians often prefer their cappuccinos with a thinner layer of foam compared to other countries.
- Coffee Culture: Australia has a strong coffee culture, with many independent cafes and roasters.
While the term "coffee" remains universal, the way Australians enjoy and order their coffee reflects their unique coffee culture.
