conikal If you think its too hot to drink a latte ... ...just skip steaming the milk, and add it straight from the fridge ! ..PS .. i have seen Spanish ( truck drivers !!) take their morning espresso with ice..and Brandy ! ??? :o

RichardM I hate the heat. As soon as it's over 30 degrees, pull a double shot in some milk, some cocoa, vanilla, sugar, and ice, and blend into a frappe.
Brett_H I grew up in North Queensland and on a really hot day a great lunch was a toasted sandwich and a steaming hot cup of Nescaf

conikal ..and just in case the cup is too hot,..you had better wear a pair of nice thick gloves ! :thumb:
askthecoffeeguy im also quite partial to a half flat white made with cold or only slightly warmed milk on hot days: same amount of coffee, half the amount of milk, and then gulp it down!
