Perfecting the Beverage

I am now ordering a different beverage at Starbucks,

No its not a non espresso based drink. Although I like them too if they are not too sweet.

After some recent disastrous dry cappuccinos that were none too dry. I talked with one of my favorite baristas, Jen, and we came up with a new order.

I like the bitterness of the coffee that settles on your tongue to become sweet. A properly brewed espresso will accomplish this task. If it is watered down with too much mild it looses its bitterness and also much of its flavor.

I thought that if I ordered two shots of espresso in a cloud of foam that would work. There is a real name for this drink.

In Starbucks parlance... I can hear Francisco my dear Italian friend look with a pained expression upon his face... O.. my.... God.

A Doppo Espresso Macchiato with extra foam.

I thought that it was kind of a strange way.. but I was assured that there were at least 5 others at that Starbucks that call this drink their own.

Cheers!
