who orders the craziest thing in a coffee shop?

[robsa]

So, whenever I go to Costa I always order a cappuccino, which is kinda boring I suppose. I am up for being convinced there is something more exotic that tastes great out there. For example:

hot vanilla chai latte with a shot of espresso plus a mocha twist with caramel, and whipped topping

So, who orders something far out?

Personally I only drink espresso or flat whites but I have one regular who actually asks for...

Large, half decaf skinny mocha with a vanilla shot (barely a coffee IMHO)

Always smile when they walk in. But others have coffee specific to them, ie. single shot with about 30ml of boiling water in a glass tumbler topped up with steamed milk run down the side of the glass to preserve the crema, NO foam. Or a double espresso with the grounds untamped so the extract is quicker and they get a milder tasting coffee as opposed to a lungo where they get a weaker coffee but still the full extract.

A lot of people try to sound "fussy" and just order a ghetto latte to save 20p

I was queuing behind Ken Livingstone once in Café Nero and he ordered a cappuccino with a shot of coconut.

Sounds hideous.

I once went into a costas in London in the morning rush. Customers were shouting orders in, not being a city dweller myself, a language I did not understand. I ordered a cup of tea.

Get me.

Try asking for a coffee, they won't have a clue what you mean.

Yes, too much choice.
