still being bitten intermittently by the north american tendency to hear “flat white” and put it in as “large latté” which where the hell did they get that cursed idea from

PSA for baristas in north america: a “flat white” is between 140 and 175 mL (5-6 fl. oz, roughly) unless explicitly otherwise (wrongly) specified by the customer and as an Australian I will accept no substitutes

@cat A barista in the US asked me explain a flat white after I accidentally ordered off-menu; I did so, and he said "whew, glad I asked! I used to work at Starbucks and it's a latte with whole milk there" 🙀
