gm today i ordered a latte and couldn’t taste the coffee enough and according to my barista this is normal and i’ve graduated to cappuccinos and then eventually i won’t taste the coffee enough in those so i’ll reach the boss level of black coffee. is this true???!?!? i’m too wholesome for black coffee 🥺

Long Black is the how we do black coffee down under (we're apparently a very literal country). An espresso with about 90ml hot water - again the key is the cup size. Bigger than an espresso (so it doesn't take 3s to drink) but not a mini tanker of filter coffee.

Yes! And then from a long black you can move to a shlong (a short long black, which is two parts espresso one part water). Then the next step is pure espresso. I’m not ready for pure espresso yet but there’s nothing better than a nice hot shlong to get you going.
