I do like latte, though

Almost as soon as we're in the door, he asks me if I want a cappucino. I decline, and ask for a beer instead. I don't really like cappucino. I've never quite understood why people willingly make it and drink it at home. To me, cappucino is a chi-chi thing you order in trendy coffee bars to impress the trick whose name you have already planned to forget within 24 hours. Cappucino is, in short, something to be tolerated, a bitter speed-bump on the road to getting his number.

Of course, I have a cappucino machine at home. Everyone needs a few attractive countertop accessories to impress the trick you might want to remember for more than a day. Need I add that I've never used mine to actually make a cup of cappucino?
