I was referring more to the "let's bugger it up with flavourings, offer it
700 combinations (all crap), give you a choice of adding several different
white liquids (none of them actually proper milk) and then persuade
everyone that it is fashionable so that the good Italian coffee houses go
out of business" syndrome. The Macdonalds of coffee. Latte? - if I wanted a
milkshake I'd ask for one!
