Dude, just he happy you didnt order one affordable coffee and enjoy this while it lasts.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 6 points 10 months ago

It's pretty strong, so you'll want to nurse that cup all afternoon.

A cortado is 4 OUNCES. I even made it American.

Not here, You get whole 100ml (maybe more not sure) mug, full mug of a black Turkish coffee (it is strong and bitter)

This was my wife’s problem when we were in Europe. She prefers the americano style where it’s a mug’s worth of coffee, instead of espresso. So whenever we got coffee, I diluted the espresso with some water for her.

Continental Europe

Europe is not uniform in this, as per usual. This is what you'll get in southern Europe. In central Europe, you'll get a really big one though.

Perhaps use SI units instead of "small, medium, large"

[-] pupbiru@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

as much as I love SI units, coffee sizes for decent cafes are already pretty standard across the globe:

4oz (shots) 6oz (small) 8oz (regular) 12oz (large) 16oz (iced, etc)

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

??? A .5l iced coffee is not "regular", nor is "shot" the smallest. A typical shot of espresso is 30ml (1floz), half for ristretto, double for lungo.

Is this the “Pocket Rocket” I keep hearing about? Small but packing more caffeine than all the uppers combined?

[-] herr@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago

“lmao”, as they say

in Japan they always make sure you know what you’re getting into when you order an espresso: “the cup is really small, is that ok??”

[-] lemmeLurk@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago

I had the same experience with ordering vegetarian in eastern Europe. They asked me in 3 different restaurants "This has no meat, is that okay??" With a realy concerned look.

[-] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

IMO, a french press coffee is pretty good. it gives the amount of coffee I want without making it overly strong like espresso. It also doesn't make it taste like shit, a la mr coffee. when i drink coffee, i enjoy sitting and sipping my drink, not tossing back my coffee like it's a shot of tequila.

No no, he's got a point!
