Costa Coffee

[purpleben]

What is your favourite order? I'm looking for inspiration. I love my Costa but have to say I'm getting bored after years of ordering the same, small white latte with premium blend. I'm after a similar taste but with a kick. Maybe a syrup added or just something different.

What's your favourite tipple?

I always have a soya mocha- iced if it’s warm out. Adding vanilla syrup makes it taste a bit like cake but it’s already £££ so I rarely add any extras.

I like a vanilla latte or the Ruby hot chocolate, I do have a sweet tooth though.

[PuffinBadger]

Cortado is my favourite

[purpleben]

Is cortado similar to latte?

Vanilla latte sounds nice

Just jumping in here. Can you explain what they all are please . I'm scared to go in and look like a prat not knowing what to order

[Babymeanswashing]

Chai latte for me - love it!

[toomuchfaster]

@MrsBarnstable they have a lovely picture on the wall in my local that explains what all the drinks are

[Gazelda]

I usually have a skinny latte. Not very adventurous.
In winter, I have their hot spiced apple which is amazing. Sometimes in the summer I'll have iced tea.

[Threeisme]

Yes to chai latte. I'm also partial to a latte or mocha with coconut milk. The latter tastes a bit like Bounty but better!

[ElephantsNest]

I happily drink dairy milk but I would still recommend the plant milk lattes with syrups. Oat milk with caramel syrup and almond milk with hazelnut syrup are lovely.

[RealityCheck24601]

Sugar free vanilla latte with almond milk.
My Costa/Starbucks go to.

I hope you can see the diagram I've attached.
They basically all start with an espresso but the difference is how much coffee to milk.
Cappuccino and latte are milky coffees which would be good to order if you're not sure.
I always order small or regular and don't say the primo/medio I can never remember which is which.
You can have different milk instead of dairy, that's when people have soya or coconut milk for example.
You can add flavour syrups, that is when people have hazelnut or vanilla etc.
There is so much choice, I bet you're not the only one put off.

Soya caramel latte. Lovely!

[Polkadotties]

I like a vanilla cappuccino. In the summer an iced mint mocha is nice.

Hot chocolate with full fat milk!

[MrsBarnstable]

Thank you @toomuchfaster and @RubyFowler, it's like an art, who knew

[H1978]

I always get a very boring English breakfast tea with semi skimmed milk. It’s more the cheese and tomato toastie that I go in for.

[ChubbyMsSunshine]

Try an oat latte - the oat milk adds some depth to the flavour. It's lovely!

[rooarsome]

I'm a big kid! Mint chocolate chip frostino or a hot chocolate with a mozzarella and pesto panini 😂 My family always take the mick that I go to a coffee shop and won't entertain a coffee

[saraclara]

Coffee. You know, just coffee. Americano with a splash of milk for me.

All these horribly sweet and milky drinks end up bearing no resemblance to coffee in the end. You might as well just stir packets of sugar and flavoured syrup into hot milk!

[saraclara]

...oh, and a raspberry and almond bake. Obviously.

[northernstars]

Cortado for me

[LividBlabber]

I’m normally a black americano.

But I’ll go strawberry frostino for essentially a pudding.

When pregnant I had a decaf white chocolate mocha with syrup and marshmallows on the regular

[ShowerOfShite]

Caramel cortado and salted caramel brownie. Delicious.
