@mur2501 ...and what i had just now was a double espresso, without the milk.
in Italy, they don't drink latte all the time, as i understand it. having a quick espresso and then heading off to work or what not is more common. a load-me-up shot of coffee, basically.
a tall latte is a big one, a short latte is a small one.
a double latte has two shots of espresso.
i usually order a short double latte, which gives you more espresso and less milk, and less liquid in total.
oh, and a cappuccino is basically the same as a latte, but with more foam on top.
