Starbucks economics is affecting my coffee-experience*

What?! Starbucks do a normal-size cappuccino?! (via) And all this time I've avoided the cappuccino in non-Italian coffee shops because they don't ever follow the perfect thirds ratio of espresso:milk:froth. Right, time to put it to the test. We have a Starbucks within the hospital canteen; I'll ask for a short cappuccino there first. And maybe even try that in a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, or our local coffee franchise.

*Bleh. Apologies for the use of the word "experience". I hear it SO much here, along with "facilities", that I've even started using it unconsciously. Shoot me now...
