Why do these exist? Why stress on missing out on a few g of fat by drinking re-constituted skim-milk powder. AAaaaaaarrrgghhhh! Then the orderer gets a lamington or other sticky, and shoves 10g of sugar in to it.

Decaf is what gets me. I mean really, what's the point?
Steve Martin, 'LA Story', cafe earthquake scene. Brilliant!
Decaf=light beer=alchohol free wine. I mean, come on! We're not here for a long time, people.
geez, I reckon! After all its just a cappuccino with a little less frothy and no chocolate:? .
Ever had a skinny soy chai latte? ....I will drink wheat grass instead and smoke a number.:;
An ex boss of mine used to get hot chocolate every morning. I was in a meeting with him one morning and he took a sip from the cup without looking into it first. When he looked up, he had the milk skin hanging off his lip. Cracked up!! Serve him right for ordering a girl's drink!!
:d
Its all about feeling less guilty when you stuff the laminton or cream filled choc cake into your piehole.
Make mine a Cappucino made with two expresso shots with full cream milk.
Guilt is for nobs.
Its like ordering a bigmac, large fries and diet coke, Oh and yes supersize please.
or a lean beef burger and fries:rolleyes:Quote:

Walk around the supermarket and watch the diet conscious females (big) with a trolley full of cream cakes, biscuits, soft drink, lollies etc and a token tin of weight watchers fruit.

I work with a guy who is passionate about his coffee. Makes it strong and drinks it all day. Twelve months ago, me and some of the other fellows started weaning him off caffiene (just to see what happens). We just refill the coffee can with de-caf. Took him to 75 percent - nothing. 50 percent - nothing. 25 percent - still nothing. Had him on straight de-caf for more than two months now and he's happy as a clam. Of course, our desk drawers are getting full of de-caf coffee cans. We're thinking of slowly ramping him back up soon, since none of us are getting any caffiene either.
That's just not cricket. Covert caffeine mooching, that's called. :p Linchin' crime where I work. (Then again, I only clean my coffee cup once a year. The other 11 months it's got a bit of a black carbide coating on it.) :oo: :2tsup:
No don't ramp it up, just switch to straight full noise, and watch him get completely wired:D:DQuote:

I rarely will use coffee beans two weeks after they were first roasted. My favourite coffee is double expressos which I have about 4-5 times during the day. Unfortunately, I can only drink Decaf after 5 pm unless I want to stay awake all night. The problem with most decaf is it is usually made from crappy beans to start with. If you can find a good local coffee roaster who will fresh roast a decent quality decaf bean, decaf is fine. Decaf beans do age quicker and with a different profile and if the beans are bad to start no wonder they taste bad. Taste tests by master coffee tasters on fresh decaf cannot discriminate on taste between caf and decaf beans - if you want only a caffeine hit, buy cheap beans - the crappiest beans usually have the highest caf content.
When I have milky coffee, I prefer skim or low fat milk cappucinos because I find the taste of full fat milk masks the more delicate expresso taste tones.
OK - so 99% of skinny lattes and decaf may well be consumed by tryhard types but be careful what you sprout because you know not who is listening.
