I always order a ‘Large’ flatwhite with the asumption that I am getting a doubleshot of coffee. I accept that in a take away cup I am essentually ordering a Latte but I’m subconciously programmed to say Flat White. I am evolving to drinking long blacks anyways.
At the shop I go to it’s 2 shots for regular, 3 shots for large. But I normally ask for an extra.
I guess I always assumed the ratio of water/milk/coffee was roughly uniformly proportional to the number of shots/cup size. I could get by in the US ordering lattes with extra shot, but it was definitely milkier tasting than a LFW at home.
What’s the solution for me? “Long mac topped up”? I don’t know if I can bring myself to actually order that

I’m surprised there isn’t a widely adopted abbreviation yet.
