The ways coffee is roasted, brewed and served can be cup-size windows into the lifestyles of the people who drink it. The dictionary of coffee recipes is vast and varied, potentially overwhelming newcomers and fascinating connoisseurs.
This quiz will match you with one of 30 coffee drinks selected with the help of Bill Ristenpart, director of the Coffee Center at the University of California at Davis. Most are concoctions you can order at the coffee shop down the street, but some are only served in specialty cafes or in other parts of the world. Recipes reflect traditional or recommended methods of preparation, but they can be modified in just about every way, such as using decaffeinated beans or nondairy milk.
