One thing that bugs me about ordering a coffee in a cafe (apart from the fact that it mostly never tastes as good as home) is making my order intelligible to the waiter/ress. I basically want a double-shot short black. Seems pretty straightforward doesnt it... Well, the number of blank stares I have had after ordering one of those. So, one tries asking for a double espresso instead. They seem to know what this means but then they try to charge you twice as much as a single shot >
. Oh, and then theres the rolling of the eyes when you ask for a bit of hot milk on the side. Aaargh! Why do I bother?
Sorry, had to get that off my chest. I feel better now.
