Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

and this is where the problems start.Don't trust a Cafe' that can't spell caffe latte to make a decent caff latte. Don't trust a Cafe' with a name starting Caffe to know what they're doing either. And don't get me started on the variations of cappuccino.
The proportion of coffee to milk is dependant on the volumes of each, which is dependant in part on the volume of the container used for serving and on the relative strength (wateriness) of the coffee used.
If they use a cup too small for the task, or if they use too much coffee, it starts to turn into something more resembling the old anglophonic coffee with milk (or cream/er if you live in the wrong part of the world), which is generally about 80%+ of fairly watery coffee (typically drip filtered rather than espresso) and the rest milk, rather than something approximately the other way around.
People are rather ingenious in their methods to fuck up a coffee. I have seen Maxwell House instant used in an espresso machine, hence my reticence to trust any unknown to turn out a decent brew.

Your concern is justified...Most places make a more satisfying cup of piss than a good coffee... I'm good though. I promise
