Bica

café, cafe, cimbalinho, cimbalino, um café

Bica is the term commonly used in certain areas of portugal for a "café" (coffee in portuguese) that is similar to espresso, but extracted to a greater volume than its italian counterpart (akin to a lungo in italy) and a little bit smoother in taste, due to the portuguese roasting process being slightly lighter than the italian one. in almost all regions in portugal, it is simply called 'um café' (a coffee in portuguese) and always served in a demitasse cup. the name bica originates from the way the coffee flows, falling from the espresso machine to the cup on the tray, an analogy with a water spring or fountain, both can also be called bica in portuguese.
