Hi all very new to this site and indeed to proper coffee. Albeit I have been drinking larger milk-based drinks for a decade, I only recently began tasting short black/ short mac/ ristretto etc. has been a real eye-opener and am really enjoying the learning curve and keen to start making espresso at home.
One thing i am interested in is the way say, a short black will change over a period of 5 minutes. From the time it is served to the end of the experience (usually 5 - 8 minutes). I have been drinking at some pretty reputable coffee houses (Melbourne: maling room, 7 seeds etc) and the drinks are amazing. But, the taste of a drink always changes as it cools and I never enjoy the finish quite as much as the beginning.
So whats going on? - is it the cooling causing an elemental change? Which element of the coffee is coming to the fore towards the end of a short-black?
Great site
