In yet another coffee-related post, I discovered that a survey on coffee in Australia found that the cafe latte was the drink of choice for Melbournites living in the more affluent suburbs of the state, while the cappuccino, my preferred drink, is usually chosen by those who live in the poorer suburbs.

Here's the complete list of who drinks what:

WELL-OFF INNER-CITY FOLK - Caffe latte
POORER, OUTER-SUBURBAN FOLK - Cappuccino
YOUNG MEN - Espresso
YOUNG WOMEN - Caffe latte
OLDER FOLK - Flat white
TRENDY YOUNG THINGS - Variations on the espresso

Recently, I'd observed that us juniors in the office preferred to drink cappuccinos while those in senior management drank espressos. So I told one of the expat senior managers as he walked by that according to the survey, he was a trendy young man. Appearing horrified (he spurns all things mainstream), he protested that he drank cappuccinos as well. I dubbed him a yuppie bohemian. He seemed to like that better.
