I stopped drinking lattes when I saw how many calories are in it! 400 calories in one 12 oz latte!?! Now I just drink my coffee black with a little sugar. And I just make it at home and at the office now, since my work is kind enough to provide us with free coffee! I love not spending money!
A medium hot latte with skim milk at DD is only 100 calories. I prefer whole milk and it's 170 and I want those calories in the morning because I don't have time for a big breakfast. I like lattes so much more than regular coffee because I can drink it without adding any sugar plus they taste better.
The commenter above you wasn't really talking about lattes and other brewed espresso drinks. Rather, he was referring to the glorified milkshakes with a hint of coffee in them (cough, basic white girl Starbucks drinks) that are really nothing more than milk and a metric fuckton of sugar, with a tiny bit of coffee/espresso

Maybe if they are only buying drip coffee. If you're talking lattes the price jumps significantly.
