Comment on Hate it when this happens

Those are far, far more commonly imbibed in the US, compared to the rest of the world, than the more traditional coffee with a splash of something, or a dirty ‘whatever’ via adding an espresso shot, a traditional latte, etc.

idk what any of those milkshake things are (i know they exist and everyone here buys them, i just have taste), whenever we get given starbucks gift card i buy drinks that are about 1:1 espresso:milk

Well, then I’m glad that you have better taste and more general concern for your health than a great deal of modern US ‘coffee’ enjoyers.
Really, a frappucino everyday is… quite a lot of sugar… not good for you, and I’ve known a lot of people who are basically addicted to things.
… I think my favorite actual, proper, caffinated drinks are a dirty chai latte, and a dirty london fog.
I’ve also found that a tiny dab of actual, real butter, into a cup of fairly dark coffee, and then maybe a splash of milk… that seems to be how I like to take my coffee.
You?

at home, i take it dark with a dash of cinnamon in with the grounds and maybe a tablespoon of oat milk. at my favorite coffee shoppe (they are fancye enough to deserve the e) i’m very basic i just get their cappuccino like half the time. there’s a really good cuban place down the street what just opened that’s got a cortadito to die for though (I normally don’t add sugar - not a diabetes thing, a I want to eat candy thing so I eat a diabetic diet and get my sugars in later thing. Hedonism can get weird.)

…cinnamon and oat milk… sounds like that’s worth a try, I’ll have to grab some cinammon!
Haven’t even heard of a coradito before, damn, now I have homework, hah!
