I completely agree.

I don't know how any self-respecting barista would ever save a shot, whether in a fridge or even on top of the cup warmer or anything. It's a fine window of time when it's good, nevermind pouring it into a cold cup (and thus disturbing it further, although I know this is very common at cafes, sadly), etc. What I find interesting is that the difference between the top cafes and pretty much everyone else is just huge. Make that massive. To me it comes down to something I want to drink, and really like going to when I have the chance, vs. just simply not buying espresso from cafes. The general public is mostly clueless, and the overall state of things is really sad. I often wonder if, at least here in the US, whether we'll ever be a country/people/culture that appreciates a good espresso. It makes me sad that I can't enjoy going to 99% of cafes with friends to hang out, enjoy the company AND the coffee. There will always be a spectrum of quality, but right now I feel like the amount even worth drinking, once you've had/know at least "good" espresso (and I'm not even saying "great"!) is basically incredibly rare. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
