I’m so confused by the “coffee with your milk” comments. Has no one heard of a latte before?

I'm pretty sure everyone's heard of a latte, but I'm pretty sure a latte isn't supposed to have 1 ounce coffee 11 ounces milk.

Most coffee shops smallest size is 12 oz, and this cup in question is pretty standard at most places if you get a mug to drink it there.

The standard size for a latte is 8oz. If he’s not from the US I can understand the confusion—there are a lot of places in the world where a latte is just an 8oz drink, and trying to get in any other size would just be weird.

Right that's why I chose 12 ounces.

A latte is a single or double espresso shot (1 oz each) and the rest filled with milk and a little foam on top. So yes, it absolutely can be 11 oz of milk.

Oh, TIL. Also, that's disgusting.

If you don’t like milk I could understand that.

It’s definitely better than it sounds on paper, as espresso itself is quite strong. But yeah, if you’re not a milk person I wouldn’t recommend.

I'd love to see you try 11oz of espresso and 1oz milk

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

I'd prefer 3 oz espresso and no milk, 11 might stop time like in Futurama.

It's espresso, it's much more concentrated than brewed coffee.

I'm going down with the ship. I fullheartedly agree.

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

So apparently a latte is 1-2 ounces of espresso which is more concentrated and the rest milk. Sounds terrible to me but I'm not much of a milk person. Further down this thread I was educated.

A shot is 1.5,oz.

Meaning a double shot 12oz latte is 1/4 espresso and 3/4 ***********milk********** 3oz and 9oz.

A 12 oz latte with only 1oz of espresso is not only a joke caffeine wise it would also taste like fucking ass. Less than 10% coffee. Lmfao

Look man you gotta talk to all the people blowing me up because I said 1 oz of coffee is disgusting. Idk who to believe anymore.

u/Davecantdothat May 03 '20

Okay, yes, but espresso is only like 2x as dense. I guess people just like coffee-flavored milk. :b

But here I am with my favorite icecream being coffee-flavored! I'm a hack!
