Amsterdam : Coffee Connection

Postby pringtef » Wed May 10, 2006 7:26 am

Started working in the Netherlands a few weeks ago, and started going into this place in the city centre, on just of Niieuwezijds Voorburgwal. They pour a fine espresso , and staff are really friendly.

Right you are Joris, must be getting old or lazy...was a little busy today as I'm occupied with Real Estate agents and lots of legalese these last few days as we are attempting to buy a little farm house locally and putting our house out on the market at the same time so didn't take time to read the header.

LOL. It's a genuine coffee coffee shop this one, you need to go to 'The Grasshopper' further down the road for a bit of SpaceCake....

Dave @ Coffee Connection is a nice guy :) Although I found his tamping technique, uhm, interesting. By far not as interesting as SpaceyCakeBoy's tho

Would love to.. but am afraid it will be pointless to even try - I just know I'll be laughing too hard to even be able to hold the tamper :P :lol:
