Sorry I should have made the tongue-in-cheek dig at Pinkbike pronunciation clearer; my partner is from Bologna and I’ve spent a lot of time there (now who’s being a pretentious thirty year old? ). I haven’t spent as much time learning the language as I should have but my fundamentals are sound.Coffee drinking has undeniable Italian origins, and that's reflected in the use of Italian words for most of the orders: espresso, macchiato, ristretto, cappucino, doppio, affogato, etc.
Latte is Italian for milk; cafe, obviously being the "coffee" part of that equation.
"Ch" in Italian is more of an Aussie "K", so yeah "Marz-zoh-kee". C followed by a vowel is usually what gives us an aussie "ch" so "fock-car-chee-ah".
And chinotto is obviously KIN (as in members of your family), and OTTO (as in "Von Bismark").
Pronunciation aside, over 50's are the worst! At least i'm being a pretentious 32 year old!
I would have thought more than 60% of baristas would have deliberately fucked it up so you don't come back and order it again.I'm also 32 and pretentious enough to say I reckon I can make an almond latte better than 60% of the cafe's in this town #coffeesnobstatusachieved
Hate stovetop ones. never liked the stuff that came out of moka pots, and had a go at a mates 'little guy' was ok, but my god the amount of bits to clean!But i'd personally be going for a higher quality stovetop option (like a Bellman or Taylor and Ng) than a cheaper machine.
I can see you as a ChaiChoccoCCino kinda guy!Aha fuck that, sure fire sign of a wanker in a cafe. Nothing screams boomer dickhead like ordering a caffe latte (or worse, any coffee but said with a faux-Italian accent) in Australia.
"Yeah g'day, we'll grab a coupla flat woites, a mugachino, and I'll have an espresso thanks pal"
Very nice. How'd did you end up not having that anymore?Linea PB
The ultimate boomer drink isn't the caffaaaaay lartay, it's the mugachino. Often on skim. Always extra hot. They must have mouths made of leather.Aha fuck that, sure fire sign of a wanker in a cafe.

I think the origins of coffee are either the horn of Africa or the bottom of the Arabian peninsula. Both areas tell of the goatherd who ate the cherries and got high after seeing his goats do it. It did eventually make it to Europe and Italian language, culture, and methods dominate the Australian coffee scene. Even though we have bastardised it pretty bad and ignore a lot of it. I need a coffee pretty bad.Coffee drinking has undeniable Italian origins, and that's reflected in the use of Italian words for most of the orders: espresso, macchiato, ristretto, cappucino, doppio, affogato, etc.

Quite true.at the end of the day, it’s still going to be a wanker that orders a “café latte”.

Bit misleading, obviously never had a PB in my kitchen, but owned a cafe/wine bar/bakery in London for a couple of years until we had a falling out with our investors so I left the business and moved back to Aus.Very nice. How'd did you end up not having that anymore?
Ahhhh...because those single group machines are damn sexy.Bit misleading, obviously never had a PB in my kitchen, but owned a cafe/wine bar/bakery in London for a couple of years until we had a falling out with our investors so I left the business and moved back to Aus.
Yeah they're gorgeous. Maybe one day if I ever actually own a house (and can spend $6k on a coffee machine...) I'll get one. Not sure my landlord would appreciate me cutting holes in the benchtop to plumb one inAhhhh...because those single group machines are damn sexy.
