The Vancouver Indy Coffee Scene

Roasted coffee beans that have not been ground. Whole beans has the advantage of staying fresh longer than ground coffee. Whole bean is commonly sold for it’s utility as much as its freshness as it can be ground to different sizes for different brewing methods.

The most common usage of this verb in Vancouver is when ordering a wet cappuccino. The drink is made by first pouring the espresso shot(s) and then adding 1/3 steamed milk topped with the last third micro foam. A wet cappuccino is considered a regular cappuccino.

Author’s note:
In my opinion, a foamy latte is often confused with a wet cappuccino.
