I will miss American coffee. I will miss New York. I am sitting in Dean & Deluca wishing I worked here, or owned the place really. It's a foodies heaven, beautiful pastries, superb sour dough, endless cheese counter. But it's the black coffee that I have most gotten used to. I'm a tea drinker by nature and usually only have about one coffee a week, latte mostly, but during my NY stay I have had so many late nights I have needed this injection of caffeine. So I had to get used to the coffee. And frankly, the tea here is simply shit.
Too bloody right it is. Did you ever order one and then ask for milk and they brought you a glass of milk? Or just point at the half and half and expect you to use that? I only drink tea from starbucks as 1) they have real milk and boiling water and 2) I'd never drink their coffee. (and only ever in an airport when there is no other choice!)
ReplyDeleteI remember ordering tea with you in Milwaukee, you had to explain I wanted hot tea, he then asked if I'd like to make it myself, I did.
