when i visited Britain i was told they say "white coffee" when they want milk in the coffee. as to your question, i suppose it would be "black coffee'' but i am just a student. |

Hi
In Britian it is commonplace to use "Black, please", or "coffee, no milk".
Without is infrequently used, unless as a short answer.
A. Milk with your coffee? B. Without please.

And as a statement "I drink my coffee/tea without milk", isn't it? |

Hi
I said infrequently used this way, refering to British English.
Torsten is asking for a dialogue for ordering coffee.
The statement could be made in this way, but more likely when at someoneīs place. _________________ Please meet Stewart Tunncilff |

Yes, I know. It's just that your post sparked my question. Threads often diverge a little. |
