Just because it's a drink from a coffee shop, doesn't make automatically make it a coffee. Hope it was what you wanted and to your liking.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Was it good?
I really want to like iced coffee but so many of the places I can get it from make it taste watered down. It's like they get the ice from a soda fountain and it adds a bunch of water to it.
I've had better luck with cold brews for the "cold coffee" urges
It was really nice, a little milky for me but it was a brew coffee with ice. I dont find it to be too watered down, but try to your liking.
Where's the coffee? Is it behind the cup of iced milk?
Yeah, that looks more like a milk shake flavoured with a bit of coffee
.... but then again, this is Dull Men's club and I would drink that anyway ... even though I am lactose intolerant
It doesn't even look like coffee, it's weirdly red in color. It looks like extremely diluted, with milk, roibos tea.
Too dull, brother. Dial it up a quarter of a notch.
I wish I could get into iced coffee; for me it has to be hot or it's just not appealing.
Hope it was delicious and refreshing!
Is the coffee in the room with us?
Based!
Easy there tiger.... Nothing exciting allowed, yeah?! 😎
It was a very normal coffee.
That by no means is a normal coffee. It's 70% milk, 25% ice and 5% coffee. I've been told several times I put an unusual amount of milk in my coffee (well, did, only drink black now) and that's WAY too much even for me. It's like they used a pipette to get as little coffee as possible in there.
I dunno... Look a bit fancy with the ice and whatnot there.... 🕺
I think you need to take it back. Say "I ordered a coffee. Not an iced coffee flavored sugar drink".
Clearly the indepentanly owned coffee shop has given you something more akin to a tradh starbucks drink.
Mistakes were made.
How dare anyone enjoy a thing differently than you!
I don't think that's what's happening here. I wouldn't consider this a coffee. It's like saying coffee milk tea is coffee. Yea, it's got coffee in it, but unless a drink is mostly coffee, it's not coffee. It's a coffee flavored drink. Which is fine. It's just not coffee.
Gatekeeping coffee
What exactly constitutes coffee then? Anything with coffee in it? Anything people call coffee?
