Europe is not uniform in this, as per usual. This is what you’ll get in southern Europe. In central Europe, you’ll get a really big one though.
IMO, a french press coffee is pretty good. it gives the amount of coffee I want without making it overly strong like espresso. It also doesn’t make it taste like shit, a la mr coffee. when i drink coffee, i enjoy sitting and sipping my drink, not tossing back my coffee like it’s a shot of tequila.
“lmao”, as they say
in Japan they always make sure you know what you’re getting into when you order an espresso: “the cup is really small, is that ok??”
I had the same experience with ordering vegetarian in eastern Europe. They asked me in 3 different restaurants “This has no meat, is that okay??” With a realy concerned look.
And it will be infinitely more tastyl then the swill I get in a dinner from the pot that has been stewing for hours…
Hehe :D
I wonder if the dumb americans ever realize we do that shit only to them. Muhahaha
That’s because “A Coffee” means ‘an espresso’, as my Portuguese friend told me. She also told me that “Lemonade” doesn’t mean sprite like it does in the UK, much to my dismay when I asked for one in a restaurant.
Don’t know where you went, but Lemonade doesn’t mean Sprite in the UK.
I feel like you don’t know what real lemonade is because yeah you always get sprite or whites, if they think they’re being posh they’ll give you whites, which tastes exactly the same as Sprite so I don’t know what the point is.
In the states, Sprite is a carbonated mildly lemon tasting soda pop. Lemonade is squeezed lemon and sugar, and maybe with something else like Strawberry, but fairly tart. And no carbonation, unless it’s specifically made with Seltzer or something. Or spoiled.

I don’t know about American lemonade being tart. Every lemonade recipe I’ve tried has a fuckton of sugar added to it. Even when I cut the amount by 1/3 it’s still super sweet.
It definitely does. In all my years ordering vodka lemonades I’ve always gotten a Sprite, Schweppes or R White.
…Yes it does, Sprite, Schweppes, even the own-brand stuff you get in the shops is all called Lemonade colloquially.
Americans generalizing the whole of Europe again. In Germany, a large coffee is certainly not the American size, but it’s also not the small Italian size.
And it’s usually filter coffee like the US unfortunately.
If you don’t want that, just don’t order “Kaffee”. Every half decent bakery sells Espresso or Café Crèma, you just have to ask for it.
But worse
I’m sorry, but how?
Idk how, but the German coffee I’ve had had usually been worse than the American coffee I’ve had
Don’t get me started with coffee in France
It’s because they add milch instead of milk
Of all the things they’ve ever done, this is the most unforgivable.
Is this the “Pocket Rocket” I keep hearing about? Small but packing more caffeine than all the uppers combined?
A cortado is 4 OUNCES. I even made it American.
Ask for the same in America and you get a 2 liter cup.
With mostly sugar in it
Then you got the good stuff, otherwise it’ll be high fructose corn syrup
Liter? That’s a quarter gallon or something.
Unless it’s soft drink, right?
Side note on American metrification:
I do enjoy that the online calorie/macro counting scene in the US seems to be using grams now.
Wait until they realise they can do g protein/100g instead of per serve or cup, or hogshead.
One day you bastards, one day…
And it’s like 80% milk.
And 15% sugar, wait no, high fructose corn syrup
No, it’s 40% milk, and 40% corn syrup.
And the rest is sugar
Yeah but it has 400mg of caffeine.
which is why i order by volume or weight.
Reminds me of that “this is a small in <location>” meme
I drink a giant travel mug of black coffee every day. I have no excuse. It’s my only joy.
You should try sex and drugs.
Mid thirties. The sex would have to be mind blowing to replace even gas station swill at this point. Drugs it just depends, I need my brain for work.
That sounds like it’s not your joy, it’s the drugs you take to meet the unhealthy inhuman standards set by your shitty coercive masters.
Well I like my job, so no one has to twist my arm to do it. And I like the way coffee tastes. I like the texture. I like the warmth. As long as it’s a dark roast. Who knows? :)
Okay, so you’d still do coffee in post-scarcity?
I still recommend sex and real drugs for pleasure.
They’re clearly already doing drugs
Yes but good drugs!
Weed really mellows out the caffeine jitters but it can make you a bit sluggish so better fill up that coffee cup.
