Small to medium depending on what kind of a day I'm having.....
But male matron's or midwives are not referred to as matron men or midwife men . If you had a male tea server , would you still call him a tea lady .

Only one size traditionally in Italy i.e. our small: only exception a single or double espresso, but we rarely have the right machines in this country to offer a true espresso, and even when we do it's let down either by the inability of the barista to meet the requirements, or inferior quality coffee, or both.I will never patronise any of these,in my opinion, glorified caffs. On a recent course at a local university and, finding the canteen was serving Coxxalot drink, I settled for a glass of water.
I will have a coffee from a greasy spoon or a burger van.
In a cup or mug.
Can't be doing with all this small, medium and large twaddle.

Coloured water I call it.So you only like instant coffee then?
That muck doesn't deserve to be called coffee.
Your opinion. Doesn't bother me. Forgive me for not wanting to waste moneySo you only like instant coffee then?

There's a boundary between price and quality with what's worthwhile but just going for instant because of the price strikes me as a very cheap move. A classic example for me is bags of cookies at things like Tesco and Sainsbury's. You tend to have 5 poorer quality cookies at a cheaper price than 4 good quality ones. I personally always go for the good quality ones at the higher price and got into a debate with a friend who decided it wasn't worth the cost for him - when he tried one of mine he agreed that I was rightYour opinion.

The few remaining places that still sell instant coffee charge nearly as much as the places that sell real coffee these days...
They don't really want people drinking tea, so they charge the earth and make it undrinkable to anyone with taste buds!Tea in coffee shops is a rip off. They literally give you a teabag in a cup of water that is nowhere near boiling point.
Pret do filter in your own cup for 49p, Starbucks it's £1.45 but with a free refill if you use their app. Or I get a reasonable bean to cup cappuccino from the Spar.Agreed! I only paid £1 in a fancy coffee shop for their filter coffee (black) this morning near Manchester Oxford Road before 9.30am - https://www.fdncoffee.com/location. And the discount for using your own cup at other times is welcome too!
No, no, no! Would add another ten minutes to the queue when all you want is coffee instantly (as opposed to instant coffee.) That's one reason why I won't have a Costa Card, just watching people faffing around while they find it, then want to interrogate the barista as to how many decaff lattes they must purchase before they get a 'free' oneThe trouble is, there is no definition of large, medium or small.
I wish they'd show how many ml of coffee you got for your money or, better still, sell it by the ml.
"Small" is normally 12fl oz (340ml), medium 16fl oz (454ml) and large 20 fl oz.(568ml), though the names get conflated into Tall/Primo/Regular etc.. Why anyone needs a pint of steamed or frothed milk disguised as coffee is beyond me.The trouble is, there is no definition of large, medium or small.
