the extra c in macchiato lends it an extra phlegmy gurgle with is humorous in the "gross out" sense of phlegm being commonly considered undesirable.

you see the discomfort one feels when confronted with phlegm causes an unpleasant dissonance in the mind that must resolve in either horror or laughter, like the dark notes of beethoven's 9th resolving into major key ecstasy.

the hard "kuh" sound is called the Komedy K because words with that sound are considered inherently funny like "brackish" or "wacky". Karamel maKiato has two hard k sounds and is double funny.

it's also a beverage at starbucks, (there it is again!!!) which is in the minds of some a frequent haunt of "hipster types" who are people who are not you and are therefore patently ridiculous.

humor is easy, once you get the hang of it. you'll be bustin guts in no time op just stick with it!

I often order it because I saw it advertised as a new drink one time and I tried it and it was really nice. If I'm honest I think anyone that chooses to judge me based upon how I like to drink a particular hot beverage has more serious issues.

Do they sell flat whites in starbucks outside of Australia and NZ?

Flat white is just what you call coffee with milk in Australia, it's regular coffee for those who think cappuccino is too fancy.

There's a place in Calgary that does really good flat whites. Other coffee shops in BC do good flat whites. There was one or two places in Chicago that made good flat whites. Now Starbucks in Chicago does poo poo house flat whites.

Therefore Canada is good and America is, unfortunately, bad.

All starbucks are like this. It is because they intentionally burn their coffee beans when roasting them so that it is easier to maintain a consistent taste across the brand (burnt bad coffee). This is actually true

It's a cappuccino without the froth. You can add sugar.

Not 100% sure because I don't drink black coffee, but I think what Americans call espresso is called a short black in Australia. Before coffee got fancy, there were 4 choices in coffee shops: Short black, long black, flat white and cappuccino.

In Perth we've always said espresso, long black, flat white cappuccino. Short black would just be less hot water. But eh, we could talk about how big a pint is, or what the gently caress a pony or schooner or middy means.

Yeah I'm guessing Melbourne has always been espresso too, guess I was speaking specifically about Sydney. I haven't worked in a cafe since about 1990 and back then macchiato just meant strong short black (aka double shot espresso) with foam but not milk, and caramel was in cakes, not coffee.

Yeah, same in the West.

Whoever thought to do that deserves a water boarding with tiny glasses of beer and then a series of judicious punches to the junk.
