So here's mine. We've had it well over 20 years now and it's never given us any trouble.

Jesus scrolling back through this thread that made me LOL. Nothing wrong with a good spoon ay Cato!
Anyone tried coffee bags?
Mesmerising stuff.

So many comments here describing a style of coffee rather than quality itself. A quality ristretto is as good as a quality flat white is as good as a quality drip.
It's personal preference as to style and then you can comment on whether 'places' generally make that style well.Back to the Melbourne argument and I guess it has changed over the years but generally speaking I didn't like milk coffees in Oz back 15 years ago because they followed the Italian way and single shotted them whereby we were used to the standard Welly double shot. Also back then there weren't as many local roasterys around so imported brands like Lavazza were everywhere and using aribica/robusta blends.
I guess the point is to try to work out what style is done best where.Don't order a FW in the US unless you are really confident in the cafe or they are happy to take an order based on ratios (generally they think a small coffee is what we would call large).
Italy/ Tirol Austria - Double espresso (or order two) followed by fresh water
France - In Paris, double shot espresso topped 2:1 with hot water. Elsewhere? good luck.
UK - research and find the only good cafe in the area. Taking pot luck is a huge risk. Never ever drink Costa (it's like a bad version of Starbucks if that is possible) -

I didn't even know almonds had teats.
Fuck the machines they use must be small.

Well I'm glad I posted that....
Seriously, it tastes really good. Surely can't be hipster if it's $1.43 long lasting almond milk from Aldi?

Well of course you're shopping at Aldi after you bought those glassless glasses.
But what do you spend your money on if you're not buying socks?
