Here in Portugal (and also in Spain, IIRC) it's much the same, almost everyone drinks a normal espresso or a simple mix of espresso and milk (semi-skimmed, I think you'd call it).

Yep, in Spain it's usually cafe, cafe cortado, or cafe con leche. Espresso, espresso with a tiny bit of milk, espresso and milk.

Coffeehouses here in the States make things way too complicated but I guess they only continue to sell what the customers buy so it's our own fault.
