How to order a coffee in Portugal

Now you are on holidays in Portugal, just got out of bed and you desperately follow the aroma of fresh coffee coming from the bakery down the road. No matter how many places you go to or how many coffees you order, you never seem to get exactly what you were craving for. Don't be surprised if someone in a bakery or "café" doesn't know what globalized names like "latte" or "cappuccino" mean. By the way, an "americano" is a movie with George Clooney. Cultural globalization has found the boundary of Portuguese love for coffee and its traditions. When you travel there is no right or wrong, just different. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but you got to start somewhere!
