Inside the coffee shop I saw someone asking:

— I’d like two coffees, please.

The servant was going to extract one coffee and then make the second one. The client asked her to extract them both simultaneously in the machine, so that one does not have to wait until the other is ready and start getting cold and losing its foam:

— You prefer that way? Ok, I’ll try. I’m still new around here. Which button should I press?

— I believe it is the one with a short cup of coffee — he had asked for two short coffees.

— It has one with two cups in it.

— Yeah, that must be the one then and you may always stop the extraction when you see it has enough coffee in the cups.

And that was it. I loved the innocence of the interaction but was also astonished that no one had explained that girl how to make coffee and sent her alone to the coffee shop…
