Latte - the coffee equivalent of a cheeseburger?

[Sweaty Betty]

My lattes are the shit! Don't buy your cheese burgers from mcdonalds don't buy your coffee from costa then you actully get good stuff.

Besides its all about the mochas if your doing something slightly weird.

Agreed,,,,, stay away from Main name dilluted brands, go for your local coffi house that gives a shit, that actually has an atmosphere and an interaction and i bet you will find the coffee is great, and the baristas informed too......

Best caffe latte is the one drank in San Marco in Venice ...most expensive as well.

 

[Mungy]

the best coffee i've had is from coffee republic.

 

[Xanadu]

Its basically muck! innit.

The best coffee, I've ever had was the Vietnamese coffee. Damn good. I think it owes something to the French.

If you're ever in Hanoi, I recommend you try it.

Was it that really rare coffee like they sell in selfridges that's been shit out by a yak?

 

[Groucho]

latte is to coffee as ready brek is to Porridge

No Reddy Brek is ace!

What's wrong with a nice latte?
Is it looked down upon by coffee buffs or something?
Is it like drinking Stella instead of Real Ale?

 

[Hollis]

I wouldn't put it in the same league as drinking Stella - which, lets face it is objectively shite.

 

[Orang Utan]

So why do you sneer at latte then?

 

[Hollis]

(a) Because I can.

(b) Since reducing the yukky fat element in my diet, you begin to see certain products in their true light.

Latte creme is the coffee equivalent of that monosodiumglutimite (sp) in chinese food.. bland shite

 

[pogofish]

No Reddy Brek is ace!

Nope, Ready Brek is pure industro-shite, developed to take-up spare capacity in industrial pharmacheutical/sweetner production lines. Failed utterly in its original incarnation as a pre-digested porridge for adults but revived a few years later when marketed to gullible parents as a "healthy" food for kids.

 

[Epico]

I don't want latte, I want some coffee with a dash o'milk for half the price.

The equivalent isn't cheese burgers but crepes. Its just pancakes but you're paying more because they're appealing to people who think eating something with a french name makes you a more cultured person.

mcDonalds cheese burgers are the worst thing ever invented.

I just had one for lunch, I love the plastic cheese and the little freeze-dried onions..
