I buy a daily latte at work --- parting with $2 for that I dont mind, as the deficiencies of the espresso are masked by the milk.
Never, never, do I buy an espresso --- on the principle that it aint worth parting with $2 for a 30- 60 ml beverage of dubious quality.
But today, I threw caution to the wind, and joined by work colleague for a coffee. She has a long black.
The barista seemed knowledgeable, from my previous visits to the establishment.
So I asked for a "double, 60 ml espresso thank you".
I got a single, 30 ml job with a pale crema which dissipated before my eyes. "Perhaps he didnt hear me, eh"
It was bitter. Oh, so, so bitter. And coming from a commercial Wega two-group machine.
My policy was vindicated. Its now back to lattes only from cafes.
---And I am an espresso drinker of long, long standing, too.
Silvia, I love you more after my unfaithful but short-lived affair.

) man than I. I dont even drink lattes at cafes unless I know they have an excellent reputation. So at the moment that is 2 cafes. There are others I want to explore but just havent had the chance yet. Mineral water is my preferred option at cafes that I dont know, or cafes that I know are no good.
