Excuse Me? Black Latte; Black Cappuccino? I Don't Think So

I've just done a quick search on the Internet. Unless the devs intended for the Black latte to be the Italian beverage, then the picture is entirely WRONG. Cappuccino also had steamed or scalded milk in it, so the picture of a black coffee is also WRONG. Was this a short-cut taken to save money? Or just an oversight?
Why does it bother me? I am a COFFEE drinker. I prefer Cappuccino over Latte because it has MORE milk. I simply don't do black coffee. EVER. It's nasty-tasting. I would very much like to try Bee Tea, however.
Forgive my rant. I feel better, now, having gotten that off my chest.
Thank you and Happy Simming, All

Have you ever tasted Turkish coffee? Now, that one will knock you on your behind! As for me, I'm stuck on half-caff. At least my Neurologist didn't take me off of caffeine altogether. I count my blessings. We have found that decaffeinated French Vanilla goes well with just about any other flavor of gourmet coffees out there so I'm happily.

I don't have a coffee maker so I usually make Turkish coffee. It also smells so nice!
A cappuccino usually has chocolate powder sprinkled on it, meaning it might look darker before you take a sip.
This makes me miss college.
Funny enough, I hate coffee. Never had a cup of coffee in my life despite working at the coffee shop. Sure do love the way it smells though.
I’m a proud real life coffee snob lol and the sims espresso machine irritates me as well. It’s too big for a sims home. I think the tiny living pack should have come with a French press and moka pot.
but what really disturbs me deeply is that tea is not in tea mug its in coffee mug and that is unforgivable
at least they didnt put milk in the tea which would have been even more offensive but they could have made it look less like coffee by simply changing the mug

The tea brewer also looks like a coffee brewer. I always need to remember that that particular machine does not make coffee but tea. I don't really mind the mug, but it would have been nice to have some visual difference between coffee and tea for our sims.
well that too and id like if we could have non machiney version for coffee and tea like tea set or making them on stove in kettle instead or something

It always bothered me to the point where I never let my sims order cappuccinos or lattes because they don’t look right.
I’m an Americano drinker myself (or whichever it’s called) and occasionally I love a cappuccino or latte. But it should look right in game.
@Simmingal, @crocobaura The tea brewing station should have been a (old fashioned) teapot that you can place on the middle of any dining table, giving the option to invite other sims to spend tea time with. A bit like the TS3 teapot table, but with more options and freedom. It would be something nice for elders or as a clubs activity.
Talking of inclusion and representation
YES.
I would love to have a little nice one at home.
As a tea drinker I completely agree. Tea should be made the old fashioned way, not with a machine that looks like a coffee machine. I hope we get a better way for our sims to make coffee at some point.
When I was a kid we had the 3-bite rule. The first bite is to acclimate your mouth, the second is to taste, and the third is to decide whether you like it or not. I was excused from eating anything as long as I took 3 bites. This isn’t meant as a lecture or anything, I just have a huge appreciation for all kinds of foods and I think it’s due to giving them more of a chance, and that has enriched my life so I like to share it with people.
I haven’t noticed the coffee color in the game. I think it’s cool that we have a bunch of options but I don’t use them much because they’re more trouble than they’re worth to me. I wish they increased energy more and decreased bladder less!
Wow! Anyone else that lucky?!
I had to eat whatever was on my plate or suffer the consequences.
Foods that I never liked as a kid are now amongst some of my favorites. Including coffee. I’ve gotten a huge appreciation for anything edible and I’m always keen to try new dishes. Probably brainwashed...
I knew some kids whose parents would cook them a completely different meal because “they’re so picky”.
I guess we agree that being willing to try new things (again and again) is pretty rewarding?
I take it you're not into grinding your own coffee beans? We do so for every pot. Much fresher than the pre-ground. let me tell you.

My parents (Dad, backed by Mom) had a three bites rule. Anything you didn't like that was on the plate, you had to eat three bites. Dad always suggested we eat those three bites, first, while hungry. We were never given the break-down, but Dad did promise that if we did that every time the disliked item was served, one day we would wake up craving it. Worked with broccoli, for me. I like it in any form; raw, cooked, but just not mushy.

When Arielle the little mermaid came into the cinema, I felt pity for Sebastian, I have really feared for his life and I refused to eat fish for about 10 years. My parents accepted it. I'm eating fish again, but not much, mostly in form of a salmon every 3 or 4 months. No other seafood comes on my dish.
The teamaker ingame irritates me in his current form ingame, I don't need an electronic device for brewing tea.
I would LOVE it if the antique coffee kettle and tea set decorative items we have in the sims 4 could actually be used by the sims. Having coffee/tea drinking as a quality-time activity and useable in clubs would be amazing. I already have a club for my wealthy sims called the “high tea society” that this would work perfectly for
Also, your hashtag made me giggle hard LOL
The only coffee I know comes from ⭐️💵.
You poor thing!
They failed miserably here, because we're all coffee snobs downunder.
I'm at that same. very, very difficult stage in life.
The nonsense. I don't have kids. If I did and unless the child has health issues, the entire family will eat the same stuff as long as they live under the same roof. Period. [/quote]
Indeed. Food is wonderful!
I've never heard of it before this thread, but that three bite method seems like a good way for developing a taste for less favorite, but healthy foods.
That's sweet. One time I decided to become a vegetarian, which only lasted 5 years, because no matter what I used as meat replacement foods, my health just deteriorated to the point where my doctor said, 'For crying out loud man, would you just eat steak?!'
So I did. And I'm fine again.
I had a k-cup flavored cup of coffee once from a Keurig. It wasn't bad, but kinda reminded me of hot chocolate lol
