seriously, if i hear one more guy order this at the coffee shop...

if you don't want to get fat, don't order a latte, order espresso.

if you don't like the taste of espresso, y r u ordering it!?

don't put a bunch of random crap in it.

you're dumb for not liking espresso.

it is delicious.

i hope you get fat.

or you could get over it and let people like what they like.

I feel you though, I used to work in a coffee shop. You want to strangle every fat republican b**ch that orders extra whipped cream and says something like "I guess I can cheat today"

bwahahah :mrgreen: HATE!

On another note, I recently got a Saeco espresso machine. The basic one. Best investment I made in a long time. Crema, crema, cremaaaaaaa!
Only bad thing is that now it costs me a lot more for the good beans... it really makes the disgusting stuff undrinkable, kinda like putting fried potatoes oil in a Ferrari I guess.

if I ever say the word venti I will kill myself. grande too

it just burns me that at some point in time somebody just decided to change to these stupid words

when I was young, we'd walk 10 miles in the snow to the coffee shop, and we were glad to be there too, and we'd order a tall drink. it was called tall because it was tall. taller than the ordinary drink. now tall apparently is the smallest drink you can get. if I walked 10 miles in the snow to the coffee shop, and ordered a tall drink, and got a little drink, I would not be glad to be there

venti??? what is that?

expressos with no milk or sugar drunk continuously throughout the day do me fine.

or turkish coffee - delicious bitter mud

UK Russ confesses to being a hip METROSEXUAL !

8O

But yes, easier in London, than in some inbred Yorkshire village, where all we had to eat was stale Hovis and pigeons (when they're done racing, they go nicely in a pie) and we drank Tetley's beer from the age of 5 years old while keeping the ferrets and whippets happy. And we had to walk 10 miles over t'muddy field to wash our clothes in the river.
