Cappuccino, anyone?
Oh, look at those yummy snacks on the menu! But the cappuccino's good enough for me, thank you very much :) Oh, just curious...do they serve coffee with large paper cups in....say Paris? Cause I know some places use small cups like shown on that napkin. I didn't ask for a takeaway and yet they still gave it to me in a paper cup. Perhaps it's easier for them cause they don't have to worry about washing cups. Anyway, I don't mind too much really. How about you? Do you prefer your coffee in paper cups or porcelain? # posted by Denton : 9/10/2006 12:00:00 AM

Except in McDonalds, 'normal' cafes in France, Italy and Switzerland don't serve coffee in paper cups.
Drinking coffee may be quite an experience in those 3 countries. When order a cup of coffee will get:
1. In Paris, an expresso (small cup)
2. In Milan, a shorter cup of expresso, known as Ristreto
3. In Geneva, a mug of coffee milk, big one ;)

in bosnia coffee is never served in paper cups, in you ask for an authentic bosnian coffee you are served with coffee brewed in a small coffee pot and you pour it yourself, espresso coffee is very popular and it’s also served in a small porcelain cups.

The only reason good argument for paper cups is that you can gauge the temperature of the coffee better.
I think some places still serve in Styrofoam here. I have a habit of chewing on the Styrofoam when the drink is done.

I lose my comments far too often. Loose fingers, I guess.
Yes, nice arrangement enhances the foto. And, I'll take my coffee in any kind of cup, large or small, especially in the morning!

A pPaper cup is only for takeaway, with those plastic rid.
I prefer hevy porcelain preheated, so it retain the heat better as wellas aloma.
Santy, did yiu ask no cinamon/choc powder on your cappuccino?
We always have (usually coco) on top of form in NZ.
I guess every one called cup of coffee differently.
We have:
Short black (Espresso)
Long black (Espresso + hot water)
Flat white
Latte (cup or bowl)
Cappuccino
Mocaccino
...
I hate cafe serves late on glass cup with no handle.
Oh, you can ask double shot triple shot if you like to have a strong one.

I like coffee in mugs, not paper cups. In Europe you'll have to specify you want Americano to not get a tiny shot of expresso ;-)
In America it's often served in a paper cup, unless you order in a restaurant. I prefer a real cup, with saucer at the bottom. Have you had Turkish coffee? It's soo good! It's usually served in many Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean restaurant, and it comes in tiny cup smaller than espresso...imut n enak deh!

In Australia I would be insulted if I sat down in a cafe and got coffee in a paper cup! (Unless a chain like MacDonalds or Satrbucks, or Gloria Jeans but I don't regard them as 'real cafes' anyway)
Paper is used for takeaway.
