Hi all, its been a while since I was last here (work and stuff have been getting in the way) but it is nice to be back and I just had to share this...
After having to work loads of weekends I finally got one off and went into Covent Garden last Saturday. Missing my morning coffee I skipped along to Monmouth St with a light heart (no work) and the wife in tow and asked for a single origin filter. The beloved wanted a single origin latte being partial to lattes made with their medium roast columbian - not a big deal no?
The girl behind the counter didn't appear to understand and kept waving at the price board and pointing to the word filter but just as I was about to explain that that was OK if they could do a SO latte fine if not then that was OK too the next person in the queue butted in and moaned that "They won't do it because single origin espressos don't taste good at all"
There was a pause as I drew breath to remonstrate...
Look of certain doom on face of wife and light heart (see above) made me think better of it so I just shut up, paid for the filter and got out of there.
The reason for posting is this - I like SO espressos, I like the variety the differences etc etc. and the question is am I mad?
What do others think?

PS - anyone heard from Joey? How'd the summer go in Vienna?
