A **** sight more than a teaspoon I bet.. that hardly changes the colour.. I bet most would have 2 tablespoons at least. I have 2 tablespoons of double cream in mine.

I have unsweetened almond milk in red bush tea....it has zero carbs, but doesn't taste as good as milk.....I have found I have got used to it though. I don't often have coffee. But a single shot expresso with lots of proper cream is acceptable.
The OP implied it was a normal flat white. Anyone ordering a Latte would be expecting milk

Lol, to be fair..
I always have to check I haven't inadvertently ordered the the styles mentioned.
@bulkbikerI always ask "filter coffee with a tickle of milk. Not the caffeinated bedtime drink."
So yeah, there are places where it happens by "default."

Like I said, if coffee is one of your five a day, that's a different thing to most people.

Ironically, 19.5 grams with skimmed milk, 17.9 with whole milk.
So, is that 1.6g really the reason for the diabetes epidemic.
Or does the difference of 1.6g of carbs make no difference at all in the grand scheme of things?
I doubt its the 1.6g but the overall amount of carbs in one drink is frightening.. I'm sure I used to have 3 or 4 a day when I was working as well as eating loads of carbs too.. if only I had known then what I know now...

Probably not enough to make it look like the coffee was even in the same county as the milk jug?
I have been told by friends I make a "s417 coffee."
So I also forgot the sugar. Get yer own!

Well at least they didn't do what happened to me in a cafe. I ordered a BLACK coffee and was asked by the waiter if I wanted milk or cream. I pointed out that black meant black, no milk or cream. He said he had to bring a jug of one or the other as it was policy.
On the continent one often gets hot milk with tea, it tastes disgusting. I tried to order " cold milk" with my tea - what I actually got was a cup of cold milk with a tea bag in it !
Mind you it was in the same town that served ice-cream with potato chip sticking in it in place of a wafer...... strange habits these foreigners

In my long ago work I had to visit people in their homes. At one such house I was given a cup of tea made with 100% boiled milk, no water. You can guess how disgusting that was. The family was of foreign origin.
