Milk and espresso jostling for attention – all a bit arms and legs, like Dustin Fletcher’s Inspector Gadget routine. It settled on the espresso side with the milk an indignant side-kick. A bit on the too hot side too, but well presented and flavoursome with decent strength. An above average cafe latte.
Coffee: Short Macchiato

My macchiato was a tad on the bitter side, but without any dryness. The flavour profile was similar to previous visits, which demonstrates some consistency between the two baristas (which we have witnessed over our visits).
Coffee: Doppio Espresso

Score: 14.5/20
Literally double length in size and I’m afraid over-extracted. It would suit a maffia of Italians of older persuasion, dark and gritty like a Scorsese movie. Crema was a little thin here but I’m willing to concede ground with the width of the cup. The bitterness came on a little too strong swamping the nice rich caramel and dark plum character that got up then was bashed down again.
Coffee: Ristretto
Reviewed by: SamW
Score: 16.5/20
This ristretto was delivered with a seemingly better extraction than the macchiato. The crema was thicker, the bitterness was hardly present and a lovely, wishy-washy acidity swirled around my mouth. It was downed with one gulp.
