When at coffee shops I almost always order a 12-ounce, double Americano with a little bit of half-and-half steamed in. I used to just add cream to my Americano at the coffee fix-up bar, but now I ask the barista to steam a little bit of half and half in to the drink instead. (This is not the same as an Americano Misto. An Americano Misto is half water and half…
Every so often I get an offer of a coffee machine, to test, in exchange for a review - or a machine in exchange from one of the many online companies offering a selection of coffee products.

In the past four years, though, that s changed, and now there…

Everyone always asks how I can afford to go to Starbucks so often. Truth be told, I probably shouldnāt go at all. But once or twice a week I will go in, request a somewhat annoying drink order, and pay just $2.91. Hereās how: The next time you go to Starbucks, grab a Starbucks card and put any amount you can afford on it; seriously, $2 is fine. Then visit Starbucksā…

You know how it is - you ask for an Americano, and back comes the question, Do you want milk in that? Rather than wearily remind the coffee jockey that an Americano is by definition black, being an Espresso to which hot water is added (in fact my own preference is the other way round, which preserves the crema and is technically known as a Long Black, but I…
