Today’s breakfast experience was a real test of my barista patience. My soy latte was a bitter disappointment—literally. The espresso was so over-extracted it tasted like someone had brewed despair. Clearly, the coffee machine hadn’t been dialled in, because no shot should taste like it’s been cremated twice. The milk was another story: over-steamed, thin, and watery, with no trace of the microfoam that gives a latte its silky texture. The foam disappeared faster than my will to finish the cup, and the latte art attempt? Let’s just say I’ve seen Rorschach tests that were more cohesive.

I kindly asked to make me another coffee, a real flatwhite and I received this coffee in the photo, which was closer to a flatwhite this time, but very weak taste of coffee, you can see the colour in the photo it looks like a poor weak coffee, without flavor of coffee. Who knows how many seconds that coffee shot has gotten when they made it. Perhaps it would be interesting to improve the...
