I've just done a quick search on the Internet. Unless the devs intended for the Black latte to be the Italian beverage, then the picture is entirely WRONG. Cappuccino also had steamed or scalded milk in it, so the picture of a black coffee is also WRONG. Was this a short-cut taken to save money? Or just an oversight? Why does it bother me? I am a COFFEE drinker. I prefer Cappuccino over Latte because it has MORE milk. I simply don't do black coffee. EVER. It's nasty-tasting. I would very much like to try Bee Tea, however. :)Forgive my rant. I feel better, now, having gotten that off my chest.Thank you and Happy Simming, All

I love espresso. Cappuccino is Ok, but not enough coffee flavour in it.

I am a coffee drinker too and have always noticed this. Pretty sure it was to save money.

As for me, I'm stuck on half-caff. At least my Neurologist didn't take me off of caffeine altogether. I count my blessings. We have found that decaffeinated French Vanilla goes well with just about any other flavor of gourmet coffees out there so I'm happily.

Cafe culture is a part of Aussie culture.A cappuccino usually has chocolate powder sprinkled on it, meaning it might look darker before you take a sip. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/21/b5/e2/21b5e2c5b34170c265c3a45124a02272.jpg

When I worked at a coffee shop in college, a double espresso was called a "red eye". Water and Espresso were called an Americano. We never foamed our lattes. If someone wanted a foamed latte, that was called a cappuccino, no chocolate. Chocolate was only used in a mocha.

This makes me miss college.

Funny enough, I hate coffee. Never had a cup of coffee in my life despite working at the coffee shop. Sure do love the way it smells though.

The espresso machine is an item in the list of items that I never use. I still don't like that it requires the two separate appliances.

I’m a proud real life coffee snob lol and the sims espresso machine irritates me as well. It’s too big for a sims home. I think the tiny living pack should have come with a French press and moka pot.

I don't drink coffee so dunno about that

but what really disturbs me deeply is that tea is not in tea mug its in coffee mug and that is unforgivable

at least they didnt put milk in the tea which would have been even more offensive but they could have made it look less like coffee by simply changing the mug

The tea brewer also looks like a coffee brewer. I always need to remember that that particular machine does not make coffee but tea. I don't really mind the mug, but it would have been nice to have some visual difference between coffee and tea for our sims.
