Part of it is the way some of these beans are roasted. You get a robust espresso in italy, and you can't complain about italian cappuccinos being too weak/milky. They do coffee properly, no fannying about. 1€ an espresso or a macchiato, and if you are a weirdo milk drinker you can have the latte macchiato. Also the way of serving a macchiato which is to either give you a small jug of hot, frothed milk or to ask you to say stop as they spoon/pour it in. No idea why coffee shops don't do that here.

A flat white as in how it was originally made is a double ristretto with microfoam milk poured on top. It's basically a perfect mix and balance of liquid milk and foam with the foam folded in with the milk to create a smooth, velvet texture. It seems stronger than a Latte because there is much less liquid milk in the pour.
Latte = milky/wet
Cappuccino = frothy/dry
Flat White = smooth microfoam.
That's how I was taught anyway.

It was a good laugh, wasn’t it?
My mum and dad drink fucking Nescafà original.
They're decent folk but I'm genuinely thinking about doing a McCauley Culkin and disowning the cunts.

Macchiato means 'marked' so a caffe macchiato is a coffee marked with milk, while a latte macchiato is milk marked with coffee. In italy the latte macchiato comes in a tall glass, basically warm froth with a small splash of coffee in the top. Would be a breakfast drink only.

Na, not my mates that have project coffee. Will need to add it to the list to try. Was impressed by the coffee at brew lab though.
Anyone into a proper spanish cortado? Probably my favourite drink.
