These are the most bizarre coffee orders
Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: the most bizarre coffee orders.
The baristas we previously asked about the most bizarre coffee orders they ever received, already amazed us: tabasco in your cappuccino, whutttt? But these baristas also received the most insane orders and were more than happy to share them.
Because while many people would be utterly embarrassed to walk into a coffee shop with a hand mixer and a lump of butter (see above), the customers of these baristas also made quite a scene. Read and shudder…
Puppyccino
‘We are used to a babyccino (a small cup of frothed milk) by now, but a puppyccino? Pardon? A small cup of whipped cream was what the lady wanted. For the dog.’
A hint, but really just a hint
‘A latte with sweetener. But the lady didn’t want the sweetener in the latte, I had to tear open the packet (powder) right next to the cup, so that only a hint would get in…’
Going well, with that reduction
‘A gentleman gave me his own cup for his order: a vanilla latte with TWELVE shots espresso. That cost about twenty euros and then he had a pool of espresso with a bit of milk and syrup. He also told me that he had been trying to cut down on caffeine lately.’
Coffee with
‘I made a small latte for a lady. Nothing unusual. Until she pulled out three packets mayonnaise from her bag, squeezed them all into the coffee, and drank the whole thing.’
Try to keep it a bit light
‘Water with whipped cream on top.’ There are really no words for this.
One and one is two
‘Without a doubt the ‘americola’. As disgusting as it is cold: two shots of espresso over a cola with ice. But this monster wanted it hot. We had to explain that we couldn’t steam soda.‘
Must and will order a latte
‘A student wanted a latte with ice, but without the coffee. I explained what that would mean and she was fine with it. No problem paying $3,50 for a cup of milk with ice cubes.’
Deliciously flavored
‘A black coffee with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. I found this so strange that I later made one for myself to taste. It must be said: not bad at all, actually.’
The beginning of something beautiful
‘Citrus complements the flavor of coffee very well. We had a drink that was half cold-brew coffee and the other half sparkling water with a slice of orange in it, and it was super popular.’ So you see that all those Dirty OJ-fans might actually have a point.
The caramel wall
‘Exactly what I say: the caramel wall. A lady always wanted the entire inside of the cup covered with caramel from top to bottom before the coffee went in. And that twice a day.’
