I also had that 1-shot filter coffee served on the Eurostar between
Florence and Rome.  Perhaps someone has a concession for all Eurorail
trains. Prices were not cheap, at 5.30 Euros for coffee and baguette.
My first meal in Paris was a warmed-up pizza in Gare d'Austerlitz; it
was the worst pizza I had ever eaten in my entire life!  So much for
Paris being the centre of haute cuisine!

I normally drink black tea with milk but no sugar, green tea with
nothing, chai with everything (sugar is needed to counter the bitter
of the cinnamon), coffee anyway except sweetened unless it is
super-strong Serbian style.  Currently I am alternating chai and
ordinary black with milk through the day.

Cheers,
