Was it good - did it have milk in it? I do wonder sometimes at the English ability to make a good coffee... Oddly New Zealand caffes make awesome coffee.

First of all, I'm from Sweden. One of the most coffee drinking countries in the world, together with Norway, Finland and Denmark (That would say the rest of the Scandinavian countries... except Iceland). Swedish coffee places know how to make coffee... actually, most swedes know how to make really good coffee.
Secondly: if I would have put milk in it, it wouldn't been coffee. It would have been "coffee with milk", or latte, which most people would say (but which really just is a word for "milk" in Italy).
And thirdly: Yes... It was really good. I bought it at "Espresso House" in Trollhättan, which is one of the best places to get a regular cup of coffee flavoured coffee in Trollhättan.


Yeah yeah... I know... I'm just being annoying right now... ;)

LOL no - entirely fair. We did make the mistake once of asking for a Latte in Rome - hot milk always goes down well when you have a craving for a Cafe Latte :D Kiwis drink a style of coffee called a Flat White:

Wikipedia said:
Originating from New Zealand and Australia, a flat white is a coffee beverage prepared by pouring steamed milk from the bottom of steaming pitcher over a single shot (30ml) of espresso.

The drink is typically served in a small 150-160ml ceramic tulip cup. The stretched and texturised milk is prepared by entraining air into the milk and folding the top layer into the lower layers. To achieve the "flat", non-frothy texture the steamed milk is poured from the bottom of the jug, holding back the lighter froth on the top in order to access milk with smaller bubbles, making the drink smooth and velvety in texture.

A flat white differs from a latte in that it is served in a smaller ceramic cup[1], whereas a traditional latte is served in a glass with the steamed milk poured over the espresso shot. A latte can also be served in a bowl or a larger cup requiring more milk, obscuring the complex flavours of the coffee.

Altho typically we drink it as a double shot rather than a single.

Hi!
I have purchased two things last. First is Wallet and second is Adidas Deodorant Body Deo Spray.
But I like new Wallet too much.

Sadly, my wallet is in a shocking condition.

Money is overrated - I recommend growing your own vegetables and using them for barter.

Can't see Amazon liking that ;)

Mind you, Play.com's high quality eta on E4 seems to remind me of a load of vegtables
