How you have your espresso? Single shot? Double? Sugar? Milk? One shot till finish or take your sweet time drinking?

As the discussion has gone beyond my original intention, I spoiler out my personal encounter of espresso

Fancy name only? I believe it is more than that. At least it doesn't look like the typical "coffee" we have in Malaysia. Anyway, this small cup of concentrated coffee gives me good impression

mixed with latte? me too I mixed it with latte (milk) but then I thought what the purpose of getting an espresso if I'm making it into Latte? Anyway, it wasn't bad after all.

No offence to your comment though.

Thanks for input.


May I know "The Art of Enjoying Espresso" (if any)?

Gonna changing the title to this

So, basically most of you guys here just get the espresso and dunk it down the throat?

Well, there is something I have learned from my first "encounter" with espresso: drink it while it's HOT!


BTW, this is my first Espresso (before mixing with other stuffs):

Yes, I'm actually asking for recommendation here. I was clueless when I was served with an espresso. That's why I want to find out what are the "proper" ways (or recommendations) on how to enjoy it.

I only used to enjoy Nescafe.

waiting for your manual

Never thought there's some activities in my old thread.

Well, it's been while since I had the time for a nice long coffee break in the cafe. What I got everyday are Nescafe or ready-made coffee in my office cafeteria.

Never thought that my old thread has been revived until this extent.

Well, after these few years taking all sorts of caffeine drinks (mostly from office coffee machine / nescafe machine), I recently found my love in double or even double double espresso, pure black

Once in a while, I would mix some milk for smoother experience but pure black is still my favorite now.

Still do not have the chance to get into a decent coffee cafe for different experiences, but the one in Malacca sounds interesting.
