Coffee!!
 

Went shopping in Burnley this afternoon with my daughter We decided to go for a brew and something to eat. Anyway I got two sandwiches, a pot of tea and an Espresso. When the Espresso arrived it was in one of those tiny cups and was really strong. My daughter couldn't drink it and I am not sure if that is how it is served. I know we have a few coffee drinkers on here so I'm sure one of you will tell me whether it was served properly. By the way it cost £1:25 for something that was left!!!

That'll teach ya for trying to be posh ...... Mrs. Bucket lmao :p:D:D

Re: Coffee!!
 

Yes it was served correctly :)

Was it the stall in the market hall. ?

Re: Coffee!!
 

That was the correct way to serve it, you probably wanted a cappucinno which is an espresso topped up with foamed milk.

Espresso's are an aquired taste as they are very strong.

lol... expresso is very strong black coffee.... btw if you have an expresso in a mug you overdose on caffeine.. not fun!!!!

No it was in M&S, I just wondered if it was right. That is what my daughter gets for trying to save me fifty pence:p

Re: Coffee!!

Re: Coffee!!
 

Never had it, I like plenty of milk in my normal coffee, so don't think I would like it :(

Sadly the coffee served in cafés these days is a relative of dishwater. The tea isn’t much better either.

Long, long ago, circa 1940’s, there was a café in Whalley where multitudes of cyclists and hikers would call in for a mug of real coffee before and after their day out. A drink to die for, it was that good. If I remember correctly it was sixpence for a normal mug and ninepence for a pint pot.

It’s probably not there today and even if it is I doubt if the coffee is the same.

Better stick to Mellow Birds in future :D

Re: Coffee!!
 

I don't even like the stuff but she can order a cappucino (thats probably spelt wrong) next time:)

Re: Coffee!!
 

Might be better with a Latte if she wants a more traditional (English style) coffee.

Re: Coffee!!
 

I drink coffee a lot but never, ever order espresso! Far too strong. I always order an Americano - which is just a basic black coffee.

I was going to take it back but she wouldn't let me. Why can't they jusy sell coffee?
