~So, I guess this makes me a coffee "snob"

... now know im a coffee snob...

i got a lil mad at a barista today for not adding foam to the top of the latte...

WHAT IS A LATTE WITHOUT THE FREAKIN FOAM!!!



(Update Monday 1/12/09):I found the rationale i use for the purpose of the foam in a great cup/pint of coffee...is its temperature insulating function...

"Finally, this somewhat similar variation: "The coffeehouse I work at serves as Macchiato, a layered cappuccino. 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 espresso sitting on that (not mixed), and finally 1/3 milk foam. When served in glass, it is quite elegant, and when drunk, the foam insulates the coffee for temperatures sake, the espresso hits the palate first, and finally, the slightly sweet steamed milk washes the palate. a fine beverage, though perhaps not the standard."

lets just say i like a lil foam ;-P

~Favorite Thingys...(the shoes) Camper

HISTORY
Camper is the result of a dream, of a family tradition that has been making shoes for over
130 years. Its origins can be traced back to Antonio Fluxa who established the first advanced shoe factory on the Spanish island of Majorca in 1877.
In this part of the world Camper means peasant. And that's not by chance. Camper shoes are created by people who live as one with their environment, the rural countryside of Mallorca, but who design thinking of the end users of the shoes, who mainly live in urban areas. Camper is a brand inspired by the history, culture and landscape of the Mediterranean, providing a touch of irony and fun to its designs.
