What is the right coffee to order at a café?
I think about this a lot. For me it’s always been skim lattes, one sugar. But I worry, it’s not…sophisticated. This was always the way until I met my love, who lives with an Italian, who makes short blacks with his cafeteria on the stove every morning. So I got used to the no milk thing. And then the ritual became addictive too, we never really say much until we’ve had at least one. Still I want to be one of those people who take no sugar, or order short blacks at cafés.
So I asked him for his advice because he’s Italian.
