Personally they could serve mine in a bucket & I wouldn't mind as long as it tasted good....... which over here it usually does.

On the cup/ glass idea, here (Madrid area) you have to specify everything or be faced with a barrage of questions () so to ask for a cup of coffee I say...
Un café con leche en vaso, corto de cafe y con la leche templada
And to finish off
Y un vaso de agua
Luckily I don't take sugar 'cos then we'd get into the sugar or saccharin dilemma.
Yes, it was easier to order a coffe in the UK, but it was pretty awful coffee, wasn't it?

Anybody interested in!!
