Eynsham Red Jun 2016 3:24pm, 7 Jun 2016 900 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red I just ask for black coffee with no milk these days. What grips me is how long it takes to make the stuff. I miss the days when there was a glass pot of coffee sitting on the warmer. All they had to do was pour the stuff!
Southcoastpete Jun 2016 3:35pm, 7 Jun 2016 5,285 posts	Quote Pin Southcoastpete I think the trick is to let the barista go through their script of "take out or in", "milk"? Blame it on the curse of the mystery shopper if you like, but interrupt their script only results in confusion.
