What Has Happened to Coffee?

I love the fact that there are good coffee shops on every high street in the UK now, and that we can at last buy a decent, or at the very least drinkable, cup of coffee wherever we are.

I stopped to buy an Americano on the way in this morning and overheard the person in front of me ordering a decaf soya latte.

A decaf soya latte? So that’s a very milky coffee made without milk and using coffee without caffeine. Doesn’t that kind of defeat the object?

If you don’t like caffeine or milk, then maybe a latte isn’t the drink for you…
