@miso3312 years ago Im a barista in australia and all the coffee shots are the same amount depending on the size cup you want and you can ask for more or less shots (1 s id="hidden4"hot for a small size or 2 shots for medium/large size) cappuccino just means lot of froth, latte medium froth and a flat white is little to no froth xd. ...Expand 439

@matthewjulius54013 years ago As an australian barista, i find these videos really revealing.
in the australian context latte / cappuccino / flat white are not differentiated in australia it' s common that milk drinks are differentiated by froth levels (from flat white with very little, latte with a bit more, and cappuccino with even more though the trend is towards a very minimal difference)
also, depending where you go in australia all milk drinks: cap, latte, flat white, are served with a double ristretto for a small, and double espresso for a large or small though some places serve dine in small coffees with a single shot, to account for dine in cups typically being a bit smaller than small takeaway cups. ...Expand 1571
