affogato Explanation: An affogato (Italian for "drowned") is an Italian coffee-based dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped or "drowned" with a shot of hot espresso. Some variations also include a shot of amaretto, Bicerin, or other liqueur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affogato Camelada (gelatina de café con nieve de vainilla y licor de Kalúa) https://www.yelp.com.sg/biz_photos/ikkyu-zona-valle-del-mezq... |

froth coffee Explanation: Hello. It is interesting to note that most of cafeteria wording has been taken from the Italian dictionary: examples are affogato, corretto, americanino etc As to "café con nieve", the best rendition would be: "froth coffee" or, if we want to stick with Italian, then we would use "cappuccino". "Caffè con schiuma" generally refers to coffee with froth (milk based), since espresso always comes with froth. |

(cold) coffee with ice cream/iced coffee Explanation: After watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG6ojFv9Wso), I think it does mean coffee with ice cream. But here you need a bit more context because if it is hot coffee/espresso with ice cream, then it is an 'affogato', but there is also the option of cold coffee with cream and ice cream on top. I think in this case the English equivalent would be 'cold coffee with ice cream', but I also know it as 'German (style) iced coffee' (plain iced coffee is just coffee with ice - no cream or ice cream). I wouldn't go as far as saying it is a 'frappuccino', because those are usually coffee and ice cream blended together. |
