why so many ppl say starbuck? It is starbucks with an s behind.

And yeah..it is overpriced coffee. But due to the branding and quality, lots of people go for it. Even me. For me, I only drink the ice blended. Cause those you cannot buy outside. The local ones like chatime (coffee) or old town's ice blended coffee cannot compare to starbucks and CBTL.

I tried nearly all the taiwan and coffee shops that sell ice blended coffee. Only starbucks and coffeebean is up to standard. The rest...bleh.

Still, they are overpriced. Due to USD conversion. So we have to make do with good coffees with starbucks or drink less quality coffee like old town, hometown and so on. Until someone can open up a copy cat to malaysian standard.

what is espresso shot anyway ?  hmm.gif

well, there's these 5,
but what i saw the other day,
there are few different size between short and tall  rclxub.gif

The espresso cup is the size of a shot glass, very small. Its not meant to be drunk slowly, the way to drink it is once the barista serves it to you, you're supposed to down it within 10 seconds (that's what they taught me during training) to keep the flavor.

Im pretty sure there are only those sizes mentioned, i dont recall there being any more..

Its up to you really, btw some drinks are made using the espresso shot, e.g. the latte. But of course mixing it with another drink will make it lose its intended flavor.
