starbucks coffee-is 2/3 foam too much?

mrs_baggins

I am a tea drinker at heart but occasionally like to treat myself to coffee at costa or starbucks. WEnt last week to starbucks and ordered a skinny capuccino-medium. as i picked it up I thought it felt a bit light and as I waited for it to cool and the foam got less I saw that the carton was acyally only a third coffee and the rest foam. As i dont have these very often wondered if this is the norm. I was going to take it back and ask but didnt want to look stupid but would be interested in what your opinion is.

Mr_Lahey

No, sorry but you were done.

Usually i get about 1 third or less foam. If you had have complained they would probably have just given you another and apologised. It was obviously a mistake.

you should have gone back
as someone who buys fairly often i know roughly what they should weigh
never a problem getting them redone
same if sometimes they have left the milk too long and it gives a taint
lets be hinest,its a premium product/price and as such you should expect a product to match

No different from the 'froffy coffy' in the 1960s coffee bars.And that was a ruddy shilling...thieving gits...a coke was only 10d

1/3 coffee is correct.
But it should have been 1/3 milk and 1/3 foam.

Think of it this way - a shot of coffee always comes out of the machine the same size. They'd have had to pour some away for you to be short-changed on coffee.

My guess is it was the milk you didn't get enough of.

P.S. : just goes to show - Starbucks are evil!

mrs_baggins

thanks all. At least if I do go back there I will know I have been given an inadequate bit of milk or whatever!

I have the filter coffee - add my own milk from their jugs and get a free refill if I want to buzz all day. Happy bunny!!

Good grief Raebhoop.


Can you translate,im not of the old money brigade,i recognise the shilling...(5p) i think im correct,but what on earth is 10d?

There were 12 pennies (d) in a shilling. So that was about 4p, ie 10/12 of a shilling, or 24 of them in a pound.

Before that we traded in Goats and Wheat.

I thought it was the Groat, not the Goat?
