So. Bear with me here as I think only Boldy will get this hit hopefully I can explain

So Costa are selling Irish velvet latte and hot chocolate ?

I asked the coffee making person as to which brand of Irish whiskey it contained. To my disappointment they said there is no whiskey

So I asked well then why is it called an Irish velvet as an Irish velvet contains whiskey

They said it’s the velvet creamy top. I said it isn’t and insisted that I was led into Costa under false pretences

They apologised and said I should contact Head office and then asked what would I like

I said I’ll have a cappuccino without the frothy top she looked at me and said you mean an Americano. I said no a cappuccino without the froth

What the fuck has happened to this world. Why can’t coffee just be fecking coffee

Okay. A cappuccino without the froth. At that point you were just trying to be nasty to the poor bloke/blokess behind the counter.

And these words mean things, as you point out yourself.

Very true. But shouldn’t the barista know why it’s called a velvet? I was nice about it anyway

I was waiting for them to tell me that they had run out of milk but that’s another story.

Here's a idea, but some coffee granules, boil the kettle and pour over said granules, voila 1 cup of coffee.

It's not fucking rocket science people, stupid price for stupidly named fucking coffee.

Surely it's the whisky flavoured syrup that makes it an Irish velvet not just the velvet froth on top?

I do understand your frustration though if it's just a froth and they are calling it an Irish velvet I don't know who thinks it's a good idea to come up with these things sometimes.

Don't get me started on the nonsense that's the Costa menu!

I love a skinny iced latte but will they serve me a large one, like they used to?....no.

Despite the fact they're happy to serve a large *hot* skinny latte.

Naturally I asked why and was told 'company policy' ... pressing further the best they could come up with was that due to the whole sugar tax thing they don't want to be seen to be promoting 'unhealthy' drinks in larger sizes. Hence you can no longer buy large frapuccinos which admittedly are sugar laden.

However they seem completely unable to grasp that the calorific content of a large skinny latte is exactly the same whether it's hot or cold. And that it has a lot less calories and is therefore arguably healthier than even the smallest frappucino.

So they can take their faux concern for my health, their utterly illogical approach which loses them sales and, in this instance, their ridiculously poor customer service and shove it up their arse!

Just curious if you can articulate why a large Costa cappuccino no syrup is muck ?

Sounding a bit pretentious?

Right is always right. I don’t go into Greggs and order a sausage free sausage roll and I only pay for the pastry. If it’s advertised that’s what I should get. Had same problem with local physio recently. Charged me £30 for full body massage and head included. When I didn’t get the blow job I complained

"

Good cup of tea , no milk , 3 to 4 minutes plus 2 mins or more for water to boil

Good coffee , 30 sec to grind, 20 seconds express, 107 second milk froth

Thus under 3 minutes
