Flat White Goes Global

It's like a hideous Catch-22 situation. Flat Whites for me! But from Starbucks. WOE!

I am going to print this off as a card and laminate it and carry it with me wherever I go. Question though. How much actual coffee are we talking? Is it a double espresso shot? What are the quantities involved?

The thing is that so many places just don't seem to get it, so the coffee tends to be average at best. I suspect the training here is not up to par. You sure as shit can't get a qualification in it!

It depends on their sizes, but I'll use our store method.

Double shot=400 ml cup usually. Its simply a double shot which is.. 12oz I think? (Patti?) and then milk on top. Probably best to ask when they are not busy because it is SO easy to miss the cup at that height. *giggles*

Its probably the training--I'm currently at my new store and OMG. *shudders* The new people taught have not been taught properly. Thankfully they get a good shot and then they go and fuck it up with the milk. *facepalm* On a side note, I love training people on coffee :)

Want an explanation on *why* it could be average to leave it? :D
