What is a latte

Heard in the Starbucks at the Somerset Service Plaza on the PA turnpike:

Man: I'd like the largest latte you have and, ah, I'd like a shot of expresso in it.
Clerk: Sir, the latte comes with two shots.
Man: Oh. Ok.

I cannot figure out what he thought a latte was. Warmed milk?

Based on how the guy asked the question and his reaction to the answer, I think he thought a Latte was steamed milk...

He's probably the same guy that was behind me in line at Gloria Jean's one time, explaining to his wife that they don't need all of the pressure gauges and steam lines on their coffee machines, that it was just for show.

typical

typically the Venti ("largest latte") will have 3 shots of espresso in them (there are some exceptions: see Americano).

As far as this guy is concerned, he sounds like a real doppio =)
