I have a reputation for being a tea drinker. but that doesn’t stop me appreciating a good cappuccino.
This simple data visualisation for various popular coffees shows what parts make a proper coffee.
It just goes to show why Starbucks coffee is so darn awful and why Caffè Nero make a great cup.

How does it go to show why Starbucks is worse than Caffe Nero? I don’t mind Starbucks but Coffee No.1 on Gloucester Road is the best 
Starbucks coffee’s are enormous, cappuccinos especially. The Tall size has the right amount of coffee but far too much milk hence the rather bland, overly sweet taste of Starbucks coffee.
Caffè Nero on the other hand have stronger coffee, regular size cups and add the right amount of milk.
Interestingly if you do want an ok coffee from Starbucks you can try the elusive “short” cappuccino.
Coffee No.1 rocks!
Nice one Joe but my favourite espresso is not included!
Lungo: More water (about 1.5x volume) is let through the ground coffee, yielding a weaker taste (40mL)
I guess the opposite would be Ristretto or Espresso Corto: with less water, yielding a stronger taste (10–20 mL)
