RE: Aparte e sempre freddo! - I just want my freaking coffee
Have you tried with espresso in tazza grande, latte freddo a parte?
It’s true that when milk is “on the side” it’s always cold, but I’m Italian and I drink my coffee with latte freddo a parte and usually stress the freddo anyways, so it’s not that strange. But, yes, I would assume that the waiter or barista got the freddo part even if he or she dropped it while relating the order to a colleague.
What I never seem to get the hang of is the sugar order. I use sweetener and, invariably, when I specify that, the waiter or barista looks at me strangely and tells me that they always bring the whole packet of sugars anyways. When I don’t say anything, the cup arrives with just a single sugar package and I have to ask them to give me sweetener specifically. It’s scientific. I cannot win.
tazza grande/cappuccino etc. I've tried just about any combination in almost all European languages. Over the years I've concluded that the less I say the bigger the chance that I'll get something drinkable :)
Baristas & waiters - please don't empower the word barista by using it as if it's different than a waiter. Barista is just a waiter that's also a condescending prick that happens to have a beard.
Don't get me wrong, I don't look down on waiters, I actually like them, they are a social group that I communicate with more than any other. But when some idiot with a 4-day workshop on making coffee starts explaining to me why I should never drink coffee the way I like it
I just go psycho
Sweetener - yep, I take my coffee with it at home but I've given up on it when in the bars - it's just too painful
