In The Netherlands we have Coffee and Coffee 'wrong'
The later is Coffee with much to much hot milk poured in it.
Is there an English name for such a coffee? No, not Capuccino!

Hi all,
Don't forget in the meantime that DTP, the original poster of the
question about coffee, is by now getting completely mad at you......
He'll probably never drink coffee again.... (LOL)

Re-appear! There were plenty of them around (in London) in the late 1950s &
1960s.

When I was a child (1940s & 50s) my parents (middle class Londoners who'd
moved out to the country) also made coffee with ground coffee in a
percolator.
When I came up to London in 1961 the age of thbe Milk Bar had gioven way to
the Coffee Bar, where one could order "espresso", "black coffee" (diluted
espresso), "white coffee" (black coffee + cold milk) or "cappucino" (as we
know it today without the chocolate topping, so perhaps a bit more like what
is now (mis-)called "latte").
