On twitter I sometimes look at photo’s that are posted of cappuccinos or latte’s and too often the froth isnt textured properly. Bubbles in froth is not attractive. The photo of the cappuccino below shows what textured milk should look like. Over and above the piece of coffee art, this silky froth was a pleasure to have. When it was presented to me I looked at in admiration, as you can see the barista had done the texturing of the milk as good as it gets and this showed in the taste, texture of the froth – what a great start i’m off to at Avila coffee with silky sublime microfoam. I’m hoping this continues through the rest of this drink and to my total enjoyment, it did. A mellow but substantial coffee with a medium body to keep it right on par and together with the perfectly textured milk, it was in perfect harmony. Outstanding cappuccino.
Remembering this drink is made up of 95% milk, or thereabouts, so the milk must be treated with the same importance as the coffee.
Crossing that line between espresso and ristretto not every cafe gets right but this one did and it was a pretty good cup. I would of liked to of seen a bit more speckled colour in the head though, but aside from that, my coffee said ‘ brisk acidity ‘ and fruitiness together with some mouth feel left me feeling pretty happy about my 2 coffee’s today.
I’ve been dying to go there- payday!
