I love my french press and the coffee it gives me.

H20 and French pressed coffee are indeed both pretty darn good...

I had the worst flat white of my life today. My friend's cappuccino was very wet. This day is done for me, stick a fork in it.

I prefer a wet, double-shot 8 oz cappuccino.

That's the perfect size.

I knew better than to order a venti that day, but I had had two martinis at lunchtime and I probably wasn't in my right mind.

1. All liquids are wet, guys.
2. Stop going to Starbucks for cappuccinos.
3. Whatever a flat white is, stop ordering that; get a fucking coffee, goddmanit.
4. Love you.

Some kinda new gin my wife bought. It's awesome.

[pepperwhiteMFC]

What kind of juice do you put in your gin?

I hate to admit this but I'm having a cup of plain ole Foldgers Black Silk coffee.

1. A wet cappuccino is leagues better than a dry one.

But then it's actually a latte, isn't it?

Nope -- A latte just has steamed milk. A cappuccino has steamed milk with foam on tip. At issue is how dry or wet you want that foam to be.

Ahh, gotcha.

Then Starbucks is doing it wrong. I went through their Barista training program, btw.

Where does Starbucks fall in the discussion? I worked for a Stumptown-trained coffee shop, and that was their take. Coffe magnate George Howell's take is the same, I believe.

Cappuccino should be in a smaller cup and has more foam on top than a latte. Their lattes do have foam on top. Though, their menu is so convoluted that it's hardly what I consider to be a good coffee shop. They let their customers dictate the recipes and that's why they have to remake drinks constantly. It seemed to me that they were making the same drinks whether it was a cappuccino or a latte, because customers would order a venti for everything. So it became muscle memory and they had to have enough liquid to fill that size cup. At the Bux, a venti cappucino and a venti latte are same same. Very few baristas that I trained with there are actually dedicated to the craft, imo.

I quit because of this. I didn't feel like they spent enough time training people. And because everything was so convoluted it added to the poor quality of the training.
