    Re: Espresso or Latte or ...... at local cafe

    Half latte followed by an espresso if the coffee is up to scratch and a cap (or nothing at all) if not!

    Sent two coffees back in a row somewhere recently then complained to management - who stood around scratching their collective heads so I politely excused myself and walked out...

      I had lunch, today, in a new cafe in Burnie (NW Tasmania).  They were using beans with which I am extremely familiar (& love) - Genovese Super Brazil - asked for a short black and was served about 100ml in a 200ml cappuccino cup of sour, under-extracted aqua scuro with absolutely no crema (well - thankfully is was SHORT).  I refrained from screaming.

        Had something simmilar down the road from where I work recently.
        i dont think i screamed, but i think the (well im not comfortable with saying barista) person who made my coffee, saw me quietly sobbing.

          with a good cafe ill order either a short / long mach, long black or latte

          I find the long black is always the sign that the barista knows what theyre doing, as many people seem to stuff it up

          any new place that I go to which has a good rep I always start with a long black or long mach
          Yeah, me too. Theres no hiding all the faults in a long black. If its crap I just leave it, if good I tell them.
