Me too. Don't like their coffee... esp their brewed coffee....

yes! Actally we've done it on our first day of our trip there. My friend tried to order a latte and she got steamed milk. The barista was nice to make her a real "Cafe Latte" because he knew that we were tourists and didn't understand.
Yes! order Cafe Latte not latte.

we all know.. they said "pike place roast" brewed coffee. They never said espresso drinks.

Because "latte" in Italian means "milk". Caffe Latte means coffee with steamed milk... Same with tea lattes which is tea + milk.

I know. (we took beginner's Italian before we left for the trip!) But it's just out of habbit that we call them "latte" here. (esp at the chain stores...)

It's not as burnt as their old house brand but still.... I don't pay $ to get their drip coffee.
