A coffee poll!

I'm off to work in a few minutes, my first Saturday and I hope I don't get swamped. But first, before I go, I'll leave you with... a poll.

Or more often, a cortado. I can also have cappuchino or coffee with a bit of chocolate taste but that is more rarely. :)

I'm not familiar with a cortado. What is it?

I love a good mocha latte myself - chocolate and coffee, what could be better?

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

Cortado is espresso (single or duble) with a bit of steamed milk on top, usually half of each but I always make them go easy on the milk. :)

Thanks for explaining that. I don't think we have a drink exactly like that on our menu. It sounds like a latte only with a lot less milk. ;)

mmm... smoothies

I'm such a fickle girl... sometimes it's a latte with cinnamon sprinkled on the whipped cream, sometimes its an iced or hot chai... sometimes it's a regular coffee...sometimes it's a smoothie. Doesn't really matter what I drink, the important thing is to have it with a nice, tasty, fresh scone.

I don't like coffe house chais very much. It's a chai latte, really, and I don't like mine all milky like that. I prefer just a real chai tea. Tazo makes the best!

I used to buy a great chai at Redner's (but I can't remember the brand) when I still lived in Plymouth. For some reason, I haven't bought it for at home since I moved to Hummelstown - I guess maybe because hubby doesnt' drink tea, and we usually do grocery shopping together. What I used to get at the Tudor Bookshop's coffee bar was Tazo's chai - not a latte, and it was v.v. good.

Of course, wimpy tea drinker that I am, I always added milk to mine anyway!

Nothing wrong with a little milk. I don't think it has to do with wimpiness, just taste preference. I've found I usually don't like my drinks to be as thick as milk makes them, so I take them black, but with a bit of sugar.

I voted for tea -- since I don't drink coffee at all -- but will also branch out, depending on the weather, to an occasional smoothie, hot chocolate, or "hot apple blast" (cider).

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Mm, hot apple cider. That is awfully yummy stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if that got added to the menu once we get into the colder weather. :)
