„The wettest major city in the USA gave birth in the 1970s to a café or 'Latte' culture which swept the USA and has dramatically improved the general quality of the coffee Americans drink. Today, any public place in the USA will have one or more coffee carts, serving a variety of coffees, drinks and snacks.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Questions and Answers, Am I a bad person? (I drink Americano with cream...)
„ Also, I've been on a low carb diet for the past ~5 years, so I can't really drink milk anyway. I've had a few breve lattes (fewer carbs than a normal latte), but I don't particularly like those, either: still too milky, and then I feel like I'm just drinking fat :)“

Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles
„Along with the very popular latte, the next time you walk into your neighborhood café you’ll probably see a public Internet terminal.

„It’s just possible, with the stock market continuing to adjust downward, that the long feared yet much anticipated latte backlash will finally sweep the nation. Just as North Americans are now slowly figuring out that their gas guzzling SUVs (this writer’s included) may not be the most prudent vehicle in which to be driving during an era of questionable oil supply, they may also wonder why they are taking that SUV to a coffee house where a latte and scone will cost them close to six bucks when they could spend a third of that on a plain old cup of brewed coffee and a glazed or jelly doughnut (or two). Yeah, well, the brewed coffee and doughnut aren’t quite as hip but who’s to say they won’t be retro by next spring.

„Since the arrival of the venti half-caf latte in the '90s, Americans have gotten used to the idea of the $3 (or more) cup of coffee.
