I used to short circuit the baristas by ordering in the wrong order. Not because they were baristas, I was a barista in Seattle in the early 90s. It's just how I order, and I bucked their programming by refusing to retain the correct order they relayed it back to me in. Your way was cheaper! <3
As literally starving students we beat Harbucks by going to highly overpriced cafés in High Street/Vulcan Lane and got free flat whites from an ex-flatmate barista who always over-roasted the beans, the dick. 100% wired all night doing homework, 2 or 3 hrs sleep then struggled through the mornings at tech. and did it all again the next afternoon. Harbux had a reputation which wasn't so bad back then but the very words 'pumpkin spice latte' made me feel sick to my stomach, and it still does. Was stoked to see the South Park episode destroying its reputation.
My ex was both a fan of white chocolate mochas with whipped cream and black coffee made on the stove that a spoon could stand up in when it was done. I suppose he's his own worst enemy.
Hard to get any coffee with 3am starts logging mate, French press, make me own at home and fill the thermos when I was down there.
Maybe get some instant at the mill down Kawerau or Lakeside Timber in Taupo.

Your in NZ!! Wow. I had a coffee on high Street in my third school trips story!
Did you read that one?
Now this is what I call a well-told story.
This was amazing. Laughed the whole time.
