    But there is no coffee in it, so why make a portmanteau for it when it’s not true

      Not sure if you’re joking or not, but just in case: “latte” means milk in Italian

        I was not joking, because I’m sure you’re aware that if you go into a coffee shop and ask for a latte you get a milk coffee drink, and not just milk. But thanks for the clarification that English drops the caffe word

          Yeah, I figured that was the confusion, I hope I didn’t come across as an ass, was just trying to help. :)
