Single or double, without or with sugar? Good photograph that makes me want to put on my espresso maker.

Yosmanor,
I'm sorry to disagree, but in my opinion, this is not much more than a snapshot.
There are reflections (which I suspect were not deliberate) in the cup and saucer, and the froth on the inside surface of the cup, and one the surface of the liquid reminds me of pond-scum, and makes the shot very unappetizing.
Additionaly, this shot is missing a catchlight on the surface either from a carefully positioned white card or a soft-box to give the drink more liquidity and life (identical to the catchlights put in eyes, in portraits).
Also, the lack of a "garnish" (by which I mean an interesting shiny spoon, or carefully placed cookie, or whatever to add interest, causes the image to suffer.
If you are interested in this type of product photography, I suggest that you pick up a book or two on the subject, and if nothing else, as a learning experience, practice by copying some of the examples you see.
I hope these comments are helpful.
