Be opened minded and know what the heck you speak of. 🤦
Café con leche is a Spanish white coffee beverage. It is somewhat more similar to the Italian caffelatte than to the French café au lait. A latte, however, is made with espresso. In Spain, while café expreso is seen as the more "formal" denomination, café solo (alone, without milk) is the usual way to ask for it when at an espresso bar.
In short, milk & sugar with coffee or espresso is for girlies and yuppy beatnik types. And chickory is not coffee. It has been cultivated as a coffee substitute.
