I've long thought that the 3 most commonly ordered coffees are basically the same when ordered in cafes.
Although a cappucino is supposed to be 1/3 froth, while flat white is supposed to have no froth, most cappucinos or flat whites ordered in a decent cafe will come with some latte art, which basically means it cannot possibly be a cappucino or a flat white, but a latte (the only drink with the correct texture of froth to allow latte art in my opinion).
It seems now that cappucinos are basically lattes served in a ceramic cup with chocolate, and flat whites are lattes served in a ceramic cup, while lattes are served in a glass (Duralex Picardie in Sydney, Duralex Provence in Melbourne).
Any thoughts?

Now, I do have to point out that he ain't no coffee snob, his favourite coffee is probably instant (well, actually, he just told me that he has purchased an Aldi pod machine and is very happy) and every time I make him coffee, he sticks it in the microwave to heat it up, as I refuse to burn the milk. I was embarrassed at St Ali's. I was the one that suggested going there, and he wanted to know where I found this terrible place.
But I did wonder about the flat white bit - there was definitely some foam on the coffee he got
