Title: French coffee
Post by: laylanmummyluvdisney on April 12, 2014, 10:55:58 PM
I've seen reports that french coffee is not very nice
but what is it about it that British don't seem to like
And can it be fixed with a bit of milk and an extra sugar

Now I understand the tea is very weak but I don't mind weak tea so I'm fine with that

The coffee in the park is dreadful, its too sweet and milk and sugar will not fix, it only makes it worse.


Coffee in France on the whole can be very nice, the milk is very different, almost cream like. If you like flat white/latte type coffee always order a cafe creme/cafe au lait. If you order a 'cafe' you will just get an espresso type drink

Seriously!

Coffee and tea are the same theme park to theme park if you want starbucks get starbucks...if your main question is about a nice cup of tea I do worry!

French coffee in general I stick to over tea, but in the park a cafe au lait just tastes bad, to me anyway.

I have black coffee and add my own milk ( that's just cafe au lait isn't it) or latte or cappuccino and honestly don't taste any difference, I'm not exactly a coffee expert though lol.

Cafe au lait is a milky coffee. I genuinely think its down to the milk and the fact the park uses powdered milk

I never drink coffee in the parks but the coffee in the hotels is generally a commercial Nescafé which is lovely and the milk is usually "demi-ecreme" and long life so probably UHT treated or seems to be when we have it and tastes very different from milk in the UK but again it's very nice (we brought 16 bottles back with us in the car last Wednesday)
