coffee

Hi, I'm Sherri Lefler. I'm a coda and one of my five children is deaf. I'm
an interpreter working on a project to better serve our deaf clients with
the Michigan Rehabilitation Department of Labor and Economics. Our program
offers certificates in several different trades. Most of which there or no
specific specialized signs for names of machinery and equipment that are
accepted as a standard. There are several interpreters that for years have
been stuck in the same trade area due to experience and familiarity with the
jargon and sign set-ups. Due to high demand and interest in keeping
interpreters flexible and able to cover each other I have begun to develop a
standardized vocabulary for these specialized trades to be used within our
school.  I have used your site as a reference many times to see how some of
the most standard signs compare to our region here in Michigan. I am curious
if you have signs for Latte and Cappuccino to go along with our Culinary
Arts department?
Thanks for you time.

Sherri,
I asked one of my friends who is a coffee connoisseur what she signs for those concepts.  Below is her reply.
Cordially,
Bill
