Here are some phrases you can use:
- Black coffee – If you want an espresso.
- Café con leche – If you prefer a coffee with an equal amount of milk.
- Café Cortado – An espresso with a splash of milk.
- American coffee – A weaker coffee, similar to filtered coffee.

When you arrive at the bar or cafe, you can say:
