That's because "A Coffee" means 'an espresso', as my Portuguese friend told me. She also told me that "Lemonade" doesn't mean sprite like it does in the UK, much to my dismay when I asked for one in a restaurant.

Don't know where you went, but Lemonade doesn't mean Sprite in the UK.

It definitely does. In all my years ordering vodka lemonades I've always gotten a Sprite, Schweppes or R White.
