Poor Americans and your terrible cheap bitter dark roast coffee is so bad you need to add a ton of milk, sugar and artificial flavourings to drink it. I enjoy introducing Americans to Australian style light to medium roast standard flat whites, you don't even need to add sugar. Yes there might not be a drive through but we could all use a little more exercise. 

 

 

You realize a lot of us drink it black right. also we have light and medium roasts too 

Coffee elitists are so weird acting like you know the only way to make coffee is your own. We literally have like 50 different methods of making coffee here. Some people just like it sweet af, some don’t. I go between both. I may want a sweet af coffee one day or a nice blonde roast with a dash of cream the next.

Is that..... coffee? 

Starbucks also has no idea what macchiato is. The word “Macchiato” means a stain or mark in Italian. You add a dash of milk to espresso (like a teaspoon).

“Is that…coffee?” It’s espresso with milk and flavoring. Yes lmao.

Also while I agree, macchiato means stain or mark just like you said. A traditional macchiato is made with a scoop of dense milk foam, not just milk to the espresso (so even you got that part wrong).

what Starbucks makes is called a latte macchiato. Latte meaning milk and macchiato meaning stain, so stained or marked milk. You mark/stain the milk with espresso.

Not that hard to understand babes.

I recommend the seasonal iced apple crisp macchiato with oat milk. 

THIS, it's so delicious, used to order it all the time when I was in the states.

I swear there used to be a drink called the strawberries and Creme that was so good but I went back for the first time in years not too long ago and when I tried ordering it they looked at me like I was crazy and had no idea what I was talking about 

It’s still on the menu. The strawberry creme Frappuccino is just strawberry purée, milk, classic, blended up, and we add purée at the bottom of the cup to make it look pretty.

Oh no absolutely not. 

Standard flat white, cow milk. Moo 

For you Americans with your "big gulp size extra pump spiced ballsack macchiato with a dash of cinnamon dusted chocolate loaded rainbow cold foam" a standard flat white is 200mls or about 7 oz in total steamed milk including a shot made from 21g of light to medium roast coffee, columbian blend. Extra hot. 

Thank me later

I look forward to you giving me a lesson on how to properly prepare a macchiato on my rocket epica babes   will you be bringing your drip with you or are you going all out and treating me to a Starbucks pod

Yes, but without the snobbery 

It's like when someone minding their own business then someone had to ruin their day because they aren't happy when others eat or drink things that are different from them. It's like the lunch break time at school, where all the other kids are mocking somebody's ethnic lunch. That person is you rn. Like, enjoy your flat white and be happy, we don't  need the lecture, it's just coffee, be it the brands, caff or decaf, etc, it's not that serious.

Chains make the world boring. Support local. It's better for the economy and your wallet.

I don’t know guys, lucky you, I can’t afford Starbucks? I tried many times but just to think it's not even a meal it's a drink  therefore none and I walk away towards a local café
