Even though we seem to have a collection of beverages onboard, I am sure all of us are tired of the same drinks everyday. On a cold day, a steamy coffee comes to mind. Tired of the black, double-double, one milk one sugar, two cream one sugar options? Try this onboard “café latte”.
Of course, this is not an authentic café latte that you would enjoy in Italy; however, this mutated version doesn’t taste bad and will do the job to soothe your stress and tiredness. If you happen to work in first class cabin and have access to high-end espresso, then you would have a closer-to-real café latte. Don’t be despair if you just have regular coffee, they still do the job.
