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 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!!!!
 
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.
 
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 love the stuff - I get the strong stuff double size - 'dopio per favore' (double please) :D
I have a little Philips machine to make it at home.
 
lattes are lovely, an espresso is served in the smallest of cups and usually is served with a biscuit (if you wernt choking enough) its like tar but has a nice after taste, you have to try things once and well i see that you wont be getting another but its good to try new things, you wont know if you like them or not otherwise

I don't like coffee so I certainly wouldn't try that!!:eek:
 
I love espresso, but then I need a kick.:D

I usually order a double shot Skinny Latte to go, just because it makes me laugh when I order it.
