Presented beautifully in a six ounce black cup with white edging, sitting on a matching saucer. After sitting for about five minutes, the edges turned a dark brown with large bubbles forming, indicating highly potent espresso. This can be the result of two things. One is that the espresso may have been pulled as a longo shot, increasing it’s exposure to steam and bringing out a more rounded, full experience. The other is that the roast itself may be very dark. True to taste, upon first sip, I experienced the full bodied espresso through the milk. This is the way a capuccino is meant to be served. Although, in Italy, the shots of espresso would be dumped and then topped off with frothy goodness on the bar, right in front of your eyes, rather than behind a counter, hidden by the barista's back. Having said that, if you like a dark coffee taste with the mild texture added by perfectly frothed milk, this cappuccino is for you.
My personal preference, is a full bodied espresso roast that is lighter and sweeter in taste than this. Although, I can always appreciate a well presented work of art. And that’s my favorite thing about this drink. :: em ::
