> and an Americano (the international special), Now I'm curious what you mean with "the international special"? Here (international to you perhaps; Spain) an Americano is just a espresso with lots more water, tastes more or less the same as drip coffee, perhaps a tad bit stronger as it's a diluted espresso. But never heard of a "international special" version, what could that be? :) I similarly also like the tactile things but of things in general. Like a really good, solid, fluid and responsive knob is a really great feeling, or the keys of pianos that ranges from such a difference of emotion they give you hand. Or the surfaces of really well-made metal surfaces.

I read it as a little joke, since both Danish and Americano are named after different countries.

  You got it - a very little joke. I was going to double down on a dirty chai joke, but I felt it would be inauthentic.

Just a tangent, but coffee ordering in Europe can be difficult for me sometimes, coming from UK/Ireland; most people here order a "latte", but I don't think it really exists in many places (at least in the same proportions, 1 or 2 shots in 180ml to 250ml steamed milk), even though their are similarly named item e.g. in Spain, Portugal & Italy.

  > most people here order a "latte", but I don't think it really exists in many places Yeah, concepts like "latte" just differs so much based on the region/person that it's hard to establish "one true version" even though people will claim "one true version" actually exists, and people just have to follow the "rules" of the drink. Latte for example will differ just based on what cafe/bar you are in Spain for example, just like a "Cafe Solo" will differ based on the cafe/bar you visit. Some will do 1/3 part espresso, others 1/8, and so on.
