I am strictly a cappuccino (sp?) gal as they have less milk than lattes.. and I try to go for nonfat milk as well though it's not as nice.... :-\\\\

However in the seasonal period, I llook forward to a pumpkin latte in Autumn and a Gingerbread Latte at Xmas... :P

Grande latte with a shot of vanilla.

Or a mocha.

Usually a large semi-skim latte

Sometimes with a shot of flavour.

These days though it's been tea.

Where do you get these in the UK? The Starbucks in Bath doesn't offer them.  :\\\'(  It gives me something to look forward to when I'm in the States for Christmas. I either have a skinny latte or skinny mocha. If I want to mix it up, skinny chai. The Starbucks here does have cinnamon dolce lattes seasonally, so I get a skinny one when they have them. You think with all these skinny drinks, I'd actually be skinny!  :P

Mmm, gingerbread latte sounds great!

Unfortunately, the nearest Starbuck's is about 45 miles away from here.

Lately, I've been ordering a grande soya gingerbread latte or a grande soya chai tea latte.

I usually get cafe Americano but during the festive season I tend to change to Vanilla mocha or gingerbread.

I love a latte every once in a while as a nice treat. I usually just go plain, but sometimes go for a shot of vanilla. But for the sake of my wallet, and my waistline, I try not to make it a habit.

My boss drinks 2-3 Starbucks lattes nearly every day. It's frightening when you consider that's a good percentage of her daily recommended calories just on coffee alone!

at Starbucks, a tall chai latte, with no water.

Thanks to those who taught me about the 'no water' thing!   :)

Hot chocolate!!!
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Ditto to what Kathleen has.   I hardly ever put milk/sugar in my coffee.

I'm curious about this no water thing. Once upon a summer break during college, I worked at Starbucks, and I only remember putting the syrup in, and then filling with milk, but perhaps my barista skills are rusty.

I think some do it and some don't, but I always ask for it not to be diluted.
