No photo here, I am saving that for the time that I find one to my taste. The Vancouvians, is that the collective noun? Any way, the Vancovians and possibly the Canadians and perhaps north americans seem to take great delight in drowning their coffee in buckets of milk. It's a little weird, they seem to take great pains with the bean selection and the roasting, perhaps a little less with the brewing, but some places seem to take that very seriously as well. But when they have that espresso shot they then reach for a bucket, the normal size here is 12 fl oz or 345 ml, then they go for 16 oz and 20 oz. In contrast Australia typically serves a 220ml (8 oz) cup as the regular size.
I ordered a macchiato today and got a latte. I think it is time to cross over to Vancouver in search of somewhere that makes little coffees :)
Late edit: I just remembered drinking macchiatos in Italy and getting it wrong the first time. I mistakenly ordered a macchiato latte and got marked milk, perhaps that is what is happening here. Next time I am going to order the macchiato café and see what I get.
