I think so. I mean ffs, there is near no diffence between a latte, a cappachino or a flat white. It is still coffee and hot milk. Its just the style of bubbles that matters?! Jesus. Get a life. Its time the government stepped in and BANS lattes and barrista courses nation wide~!
Who's with me on this?

Disclaimer-Red Anchor consumes 5 cups of coffee a day. 4 instant cofees and one from the shop (flat white but with proper fresh coffee not instant).

Ah well, so I am a pretentious jerk and have been for sixty years. Don't anyone dare say "We guessed that."

I ordered a stove top espesso pot some years ago. When it arrived I went a bit nuts with it and it became apparent that there was no point in going to bed until I stopped twitching.

You'll be putting cheese on ice cream next, or icing sugar on oysters.

All those frothy coffees are made with some sort of liquid, not ground coffee  |

I'm not one for all this pretentious coffee house garbage. I much prefer a good old cup of Nescafe instant.
Last week, I took the family to a Pizza Hut for the first time in ages. We ordered the pizzas and I asked for a coffee while we were waiting. It arrives in a cup with the Costa Coffee logo, so I assume that Costa have some agreement to supply the coffee in this pizza establishment ( not much gets past me, eh?)
I've got to say it was the most disgusting crap I've ever put in my mouth. Never before, in fortysomething years of walking this planet has a cup of coffee had me nearly wretching my guts out, and that includes the Cypriot coffee I had in Larnaka once when no one warned me just how strong the thing was. Just what the hell do Costa put in their coffee to make it taste that vile?

I used to be a 5+ cup a day in the cooler months but i found that in the warmer months that it left me dehydrated and unable to sleep.
I still enjoy an Irish coffee on a cold winters night, but i think it's the Jamieson's in it, not the coffee that brings the enjoyment.
In and around some of the Med nations as well as the middle east, if you order a coffee you'll be served a small cup containing a thick sugery sweet syrup, (great for using as paint stripper or anti freeze for frozen car batteries). that can't be of any benefit to the body other than burning your lips.
If it's a western style coffee you're after in say Malta and Greece, you ask for a Nescafe. Italy is different again, you can pay an astronomical amount of money for a thimble size cup of bubbles and throth served to you by some wanker who has gone to college to earn the right to be called a Barista.
Tea is easier, cheaper, more refreshing and actually has healthy benefits.

Tea affects your ability to produce haemoglobin. So do strawberries for some reason.
