cappuccino with skim milk as opposed to whole milk

[ganyuehan]

Some coffee shops will actually ask if you want your cappuccino made with whole or skim milk. In Mandarin, how is this usually asked at a Starbucks or Barista?

I would ask “Cappuccino 里加的奶是全脂的还是脱脂的？” "Cappuccino lǐ jiā de nǎi shì quánzhī de háishi tuōzhī de"

Cheers

You can also say:

来杯卡布奇诺吧。请用脱脂奶打奶泡，全脂奶不行！( or: 纯牛奶不行！）

Lai bei kabuqinuo ba Qing yong tuozhinai da naipao, quanzhinai buxing! （or: chunzhinai buxing!）

I've found they don't usually ask this when taking your order (at least in the Starbucks near where I was staying in Beijing), but maybe that's because they spend their time checking if your request for a "大杯" means you want a Grande for Venti size.

So, I usually add: 請用脫脂奶 to my order.

For some reason, in Taiwan, they seem to use: 零脂奶 (zero fat milk).
