I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a "regular coffee".
Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn't parse "regular coffee" as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply "coffee"!
I honestly don't even know why it annoys me this much.
I'm a waitress and "regular coffee" means different things across regions. Some people mean just "drip, not decaf" with no indication of cream or sugar. Some people mean "drip, black" with no indication of caffeine content. And where I grew up, "regular" means "2 cream 2 sugar", as in you'd be asked if you wanted your coffee "regular or black". It's the worst.
That latte lady was just crazy though... unless she meant "my regular"?
Ah, the four basic types of coffee, Regular, Posh, Italian and Wrong.
Personally Iโm a fan of Irish coffee, but most coffee bars seem to frown on busting out the whiskey at 8a.
Regular coffee is a coffee. People say regular coffee because they've gotten fatigue from "which type?" questions. I'm more annoyed that the understanding of coffee has shifted away from the default just being an espresso. Over here in Spain if you ask for cafe you'll get a cafe solo.
Here a regular coffee would mean a milk based drink. Something like a cappuccino but not quite. Nestle ass drink.
This sounds delicious. Where is here so I can be there?
Pakistan, OK actually more dalgona than cappuccino
Okay, I've never even heard of a Dalgona before, and that sounds incredible. Like somewhere basically incredible hot chocolate is the default coffee
Where do you think?
