A recent crossword I solved had a 7-letter answer with the clue something like "Someone who doesn't serve an average joe?" In case you are new to solving crosswords, you might miss the question mark at the end of the clue and the fact that "joe" is not a name. The question mark indicates that the clue is not to be read literally and the lower case "joe" points to coffee. Long story sort: the answer is BARISTA because a barista normally prepares specialty coffee drinks instead of "ordinary joe".
Joe, java, mud, leaded/unleaded . . . so many informal terms for drinks made from coffee beans. Today's crossword focuses on a few of the typical barista specialities.
Enjoy the puzzle with a cup of your favorite hot brew.
