   I am pretty American in that I usually prefer getting a drip coffee outside the house versus an espresso, cappuccino, or latte.

   My one exception is a good cortado. I first had one in Spain when I walked the Camino in 2016. They just hit the spot when you need a good, strong coffee l. It feels like a little moment of peace.

     @andrew773 Precisely on everything! I also find that cappuccinos and lattes - in addition to being overpriced - often come out warm not hot. I think it a style in some places.

     @seanbala Cortado is my drink too. Who needs all that extra liquid. Just a few sips of espresso and oat milk for me. They also tend to be one of the most affordable things to get at cafes as well. Flat white is similar as well.
