Just to make matters worse of course when ordering the skinny-mocha-latte - one must have a D4 accent (or down here it's the Rochestown accent (not the Legoland side))
...... does anyone else (besides me) not ask for a cuppa tea with a cream slice anymore!
I just looooove cream slices ! Would that be the Mahon side of Rochestown Road Rahndabaht accent or Douglas side occent ?
Ordering an Americano would make me sound as if I wished I was in New York or something
Italy was one place I found where the waiters constantly referred to black coffee as Americano.
You forgot the "Make it so"
Starbucks have managed to do the impossible which is to make coffee which has absolutely no taste of coffee

Fair enough and interesting about Italy, but who in Ireland ever referred to a black coffee as an Americano?
. . . it became known as an Americano. This is the drink that Irish people incorrectly refer to as a regular black coffee . . . That said I'm partial to a regular black coffee myself, or an espresso after a meal.
Latte, cappuccino and espresso have been around for a long time. Just because we didn't know about them does not make those who drink them pretentious.
Was in Venice recently and when in a cafe i asked for a latte, the waitress asked me was I sure, I said I think so. imagine my surprise when she dropped me down... you guessed it.... warm milk! serve's me right for not asking for coffee!
Yes, hence theDon't you mean you're partial to an Americano ?
I don't think they were selling small, regular or large coffee either.And by the way, why do you claim that Irish people 'incorrectly' call something a regular black coffee ? I wasn't around back in the late 40s, but I don't think the coffee houses of Dublin (as if such a thing existed other than Bewleys) were over-supplied with American soldiers unable for the strength of the drink.
