Without any shadow of doubt, I am a creature of habit. So did my short mac obsession sporn from the fact that my first ever coffee was a short mac? Maybe... But I think it was destiny. After a few weeks of drinking coffee and after I'd really begun to understand what I was drinking, the idea of a short mac really started to make sense. I had no desire what-so-ever to try anything else. Especially any coffee with more than just a splash of milk. Of the 1000+ coffees I've had in the past 15 months, only 25-50 have not been short macs...and they have all been either espresso's or double espresso's (after big nights!)...
There is no doubt that the espresso is the king of coffee. I wouldn't even try to argue against that. But the short mac is the prince. And for me, that 'stain' of milk that accompanies it is what makes the short mac the most desirable coffee there is. That tiny about of milk can either give an espresso that extra something special or totally destroy a perfectly good coffee. Its that fine line between pleasure and pain...and that is what makes it special!
So, this blog is devoted to the prince of coffee. I'm not here to debate anything. Its all about short macs. Occasionally you may find a post about another coffee...but they'll certainly be the exception and not the rule.
I'll be visiting cafes and blogging about their short macs on a regular basis. Most of these will be known for making good coffee. I'm not here to create enemies and I have no intention of creating any controversy. I'm not going to visit establishments that are not known for their coffee. Who wins if I publicly pay-out on a Ma & Pa operation who have no intention of serving anything but standard coffee?!
I hope you enjoy my reviews and please feel free to contribute...and be nice!
