Gone are the days when ordering a cup of joe was simple. Now you’re faced with an overwhelming amount of options for coffee types, drink styles, preparation methods, add-ins, leave-outs, flavor profiles, the list goes on-and-on. And God forbid you order something passé, or worse, you mispronounce it. Fortunately, there’s an app to help guide you through café confusion and introduce you to the exciting and enticing realm of espresso. If you’ve been daunted by the condensed coffee form until now and not understood how a macchiato, mocha, and mochachino differ, then Spro has the savvy you need. Straight from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, Spro delivers instructions on how to craft 14 different espresso-based drinks. This is useful if you dare to make it yourself, or if you’re simply curious about what goes into various concoctions. Furthermore, Spro gives you the correct pronunciation of each drink name as well as the history behind each drink, so you can at least feign the requisite knowledge and sophistication when indulging in your beverage. Spro also inspires your palate with their Drink of the Week and encourages espresso explorations with their Create-A-Drink tool, which enables you to combine various ingredients and see what happens. Whether you’re simply curious about the myriad options available at coffee shops, you are trying to enter the world of espresso, or you are a seasoned coffee snob, Spro is guaranteed to trigger your tastebuds.
