the bean in my world. |
fairway usually i get a lovely double shot of espresso to sip while strolling the aisles at uptown fairway. this morning, i received a single shot with attitude and no crema. since i was trying to stay calm, i didn't say anything when the chick let my crema spill all over the tray after pulling my cup away. then, i had to wait for my lousy .35 change for several minutes. usually this mode of espresso enjoyment is quite positive. today, it wasn't. thrifty!
i had two excellent coffee beverages at the news bar on university place yesterday. a single shot of espresso and a latte. the single shot was perfect, served with its crema intact. the latte was very good, though i requested only one ("'1") shot of espresso. i enjoyed the ratio of steamed milk to espresso.
coffee thoughts tonight, i thought about making some decaf. i was lazy. i could have brewed it in my space-age drip brewing machine, but it did not occur to me. or, i could have used the smaller stovetop espresso machine. but i did not think of that. i am fixated on the three-cup espresso stovetop unit. would i even _want_ coffee now? i might actually like some tea. regular tea. iced, regular tea with some lime. tea
