Still plenty of bad espresso around these parts too! The foamed milk covers a multitude of coffee sins

Well, I mean if you wanted a coffee with milk in it, and *didn’t* order a flat white or a latte, you’d most likely still get a flat white or a latte.

Flat white is the default, but it tastes stronger than a latte, so I expect most baristas would clock the foreigner and give them the latte 😆

This is accurate. Almost every cafe and bakery in every city/town/tiny rural area (I’m in Ao/NZ) has an espresso machine. If you asked for white coffee, they’d either just offer you a latte, or they’d have a bunch of follow-up questions

I see a lot of hand wringing about the poor state of "central Auckland" but every time I've been there it seems pretty great, outside of the bottom of queen street & the railworks area

I'm super glad you admitted up front that these are bad. Now I can laugh at them
