starbucks coffee-is 2/3 foam too much?

Comments

  • 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.

    I used to work for costa and we were always told that its supposed to be 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foam. :) Doesn't sound like a great capuccino to me! To make sure you get more milk ask for a "wet capuccino". Hope that helps! xx

    I remember when bikes were bikes! :D

    As for Starbucks I'd rather drink liquidised turds than any muck from one of those establishments!
    Try a cappuchino from a decent italian restaraunt, then goto 'muckbucks'
    There's only one good starbucks and that's a closed down one!
    Bah humbug
