Thermodynamics, You Take It From Here, Part 16
Customer: “Oat milk flat white. Extra hot.”
Me: “Yes, sir. Oat milk flat white, extra hot. That’s [total].”
Customer: *Pays* “And when I say extra hot, I mean extra hot!”
Me: “It will be as hot as we can make it without burning it, sir.”
Customer: “I want it boiling. I need it to be bubbling in the cup when you hand it to me.”
Me: “That’s a milk-based drink, sir. It would be impossible to serve it to you boiling.”
Customer: “But I want it that hot; just boil the milk until it’s bubbling!”
Me: “It would be impossible to serve that without burning the drink, sir, and maintaining the temperature.”
Customer: “Is it because it’s oat milk and not real milk?”
Me: “No, it’s because of thermodynamics.”
