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?

You can buy Chai powder in the supermarket - the one in the pink tub is nicest. Make it at home with steamed milk and its no different.

Dirty chai

Wait. What? Coffee in primark? Where?

Off the top of my head, Leeds, Brum, Manchester, there will be more. Either Central Perk or Disney themed.

I may need to go to the nearest one! Thank you we don't have a cafe in Liverpool

Skinny cinnamon latte or gingerbread latte at Christmas

Americano with hot milk on the side. In the summer, iced Americano with a dash of cold milk. I like coffee to taste of coffee.

I had a mouthful of my DHs ruby hot chocolate and it was EXACTLY like drinking hot liquid blancmange. It was actually quite nice.

Hazelnut cappuccino 🙂

I have a medium vanilla latte, with half the normal amount of vanilla because its too sweet otherwise

I don't want to rain on your parade OP, but the calories can very quickly add up if you regularly have a cow's milk latte with added syrup. I switched to almond milk as I was drinking around three a day - some decaff - and realised it was around 1000 calories in coffees every day!

Yes I was thinking this. I do get a flabby tummy after drinking a few lattes so I always pull it back and drink green tea for few days but then I really crave a morning Costa 😳

I love the black forest hot chocolate from Costa but they only do those in the run up to Christmas.

Yes I love these and easy to ask for 😂

Cortado and a lemon tart.

I'm an americano with a dash of cold milk. I always think 'right, I'm going to have one of these fancy seasonal things', get to the counter and ask for an americano with a dash of cold milk. I find lattes a bit milky so a bit sickly which scares me off anything else.

A chai latte is nice occasionally but very very sweet.

Soya latte with either a hazelnut or almond sugar free shot

Latte with hazelnut syrup.

[purpleben]

This morning I took the plunge and asked for a latte with a shot of vanilla and it was lush!!

Today has been a good day 😁.

Thanks for all your advise and tips. Now I'm a bit more confident who knows what I'll ask for next (as long as it's not a white latte) 😂😂

[WeAreTheHeroes]

Isn't a flat white like a latte but with a smaller amount of milk foam?

[QuestionableMouse]

@ShipshapeShore

So if that's a cortado and a latte, what's a flat white? I thought cortados were really small, I'm so confused!

Also, I'm quite fancying an oat milk coffee now but doesn't it go all curdly? I think the taste would be lovely but I'm not sure about the texture.

@ShipshapeShore a flat white is between a cortado and a latte. More steamed milk than a cortado but not as much as a latte.

[els10]

@purpleben brilliant 🤣
Latte with a flavoured syrup is lovely. Hazelnut is my favourite.
A cappuccino has one more extra espresso shot in than a latte if you want something stronger, also lovely with caramel in! That's with frothy milk.
A cortardo is a shorter drink, like a mini latte but stronger.
A flat white is my go to- its milky and only comes in small size and has three shots of espresso.
