Recently, I’ve garnered a deeper appreciation for the various types of coffee that exist in the world. I can’t say that my days of merely ordering the plain (sludge) coffee– to keep things simple, are completely gone, but suffice it say that I have ventured out into the world of fair trade Ethiopians, and the enchanting Illy cappuccino at the artisan cellar in the merchandise mart.
When I was at Starbucks in PRC, I ordered different types of coffee, mostly because it was one of the rare times that I’d actually go to Starbucks and work (I prefer independent coffee shops here in the US).
I noticed that the coffee they sell in China is so much smaller than the sized they sell here. It’s also the same way in Europe. Do Americans really demand sizes that are so disgustingly large? Gross.
Some research yielded this article about the elusive short cappuccino. I don’t really expect to go to Starbucks much unless I need to and there is nothing else around, but this might be helpful to other people that are also repulsed by the “venti”.
