I used to do this a lot when I was broke in college. Or run it for two Americanos with just one serving of water.

Then why do 2 flat white fit so well in a cappuccino cup?

What centra is this (I’m going to specifically press two flat whites)

If two presses fill one of your tiny cups then it’s one coffee
hondabiker on
what about when you buy a large coffee and it fits perfectly into the regular cup?

It’s more passive aggressive that people rationalise this as not stealing 😂
Although the lowest form of stealing.

The real theft is the 90% mark up these shops charge

This is definitely pent up anger due to people abusing the fact that a large one of these coffees fit into their medium cups.
It was a supreme life hack I enjoyed for years

Did you know if you swipe across on some machines there’s an option for an espresso.

Like a teenager with attitude “You got that”…. “Alright” LOL
*Even a little Thank You at the end might’ve helped soften it*

tbh i disagree.
my opinion is that if the coffee fits into a medium cup then i pay for a medium coffee
doesnt matter if it’s single cappuccino or 6 espresso shots

I saw a video about this by the angry welder if any of you know him. Was quite funny.
Apparently those machines aren’t owned by Centra and the coffee place bills them at the end for everything that came out of the machine.
So that’s why they are so stingey.
I sometimes do a flat white in a big cup with a drop of of water.
None of this means I’m on centras side. You can also do the tea bag string trick and save a few cent!

Thanks for the coffee machine, but we’ll take it from here

I know a feckin Hungarian gypsy who has been doing this for the last 15 years.
Also, my d!ckhead brother in law eating a croissant at Lidl at every shopping and not paying for it.
No comment.
If you feel that the feckin coffee is expensive, get a bean to cup machine for yourself. You’ll have your coffee for 50 cents and no desire to steal.

I wonder is their machine set so it fills the cups to the correct level. I know a few machines that just do one size fits all, therefore I will hit the button twice and top up my drink to the level I’m paying for.

Funfact, many places never change the default login code.
Old place I worked at were stingy bastards with coffee, so half the place learned to just login using the default passcode and give themselves free coffee.
Didn’t feel one bit guilty for it, as the machine wasn’t often well stocked you’d pay for a coffee with milk, but wouldn’t tell you there was no milk, and just give you a black coffee.
I stopped caring after being stiffed the 6th time.

For what they’re charging these days, I promise to turn a blind eye if I see one of you cheating.

Like the one on McSorleys in Courtown, big sign up saying if your get a medium/ large and pay for a small you’re a theif.
Fair enough but never went there again, no need for that bullshit, didn’t go there for a lecture on your pettiness.

I drink black coffee, weak as piss from these machines, always get two shots and a little hot water, haven’t been rumbled yet……

This is a good idea.

My local centra has a sign that says it’s a smart machine and what you press goes to the till automatically.
