NINE DRINKS

the same coffee, different proportions

Built as a memo rather than a table: the thing worth hanging it up for reads across the room, with the full reference in smaller type below it.

Three sizes in one archive — from a sheet on the fridge to a poster on the wall.

Millilitres are typical, not canonical: every cafe has its own glassware. The proportion matters more than the volume.

THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT THE COFFEE BUT WHAT WAS ADDED

In eight of the nine drinks the coffee part is identical: one espresso, 36 ml. Only what sits beside it changes, and in what proportion.

So a "strong latte" is not more coffee but less milk; and a cappuccino differs from a flat white not in size but in how much of the milk was whipped into foam.

Knowing that, you can order any of them in your own words, even where the local name is different.

On the sheet

  • Millilitres are typical, not canonical: every cafe has its own glassware. The proportion matters more than the volume.
  • Colour carries meaning, but meaning never rests on colour alone — the sheet reads in black and white.
  • Nothing about how it was made: the sheet carries only what the reader needs.

Printing

  • Three sizes in the archive: A4 — 210×297 mm, A3 — 297×420 mm, A2 — 420×594 mm.
  • All text is converted to outlines. No fonts to install, and nothing shifts on another machine.
  • White background and sparing fills — it prints on a home printer without draining the cartridge.
  • Margins of at least 10 mm: a home printer cannot print to the edge.
  • No stroke thinner than 0.3 mm, so nothing disappears in print.

Why the numbers can be trusted. Every countable number here is computed from data rather than typed in, and the sheet must pass 6 independent checks before it is allowed to build — how many items there are, the order they come in, and the claim in the highlighted box itself. If one fails, there is no file.
