Satis
I hold both fear & respect for the establishment that chooses to serve the double macchiato in a glass, putting their coffee-making skill on full display to the drinker. Satis did this today and didn’t let me down. I witnessed a wonderfully layered drink, a restrained blanket of microfoam on top, with thin milky tendrils seeping down into a deep black bed of espresso. My drinking experience also comprised several parts: a mellow waft of milk as I put the glass to my mouth, followed by the clean, sharp espresso, and finishing again with the sweet velvet of the foam. Sublime.

Quite a bitter brew; prepared consistently but tends to be a little hotter than I prefer. Seems popular in the mornings and on the weekend, but if you prefer a mellow, smooth coffee, I’d suggest looking elsewhere. Wide selection of beans available if y…
