-Mac In Spain, they commonly use UHT milk for cafe con leche. That makes a big difference to taste too. I actually don’t mind it (which is good ’cos I’m moving over there soon).
DavecUK -Mac I think UHT tastes fine as well. Got used to it during my student days. I like evaporated milk as well (but not so much in tea).
PartySausage dutchy101 I’ve spent quite a bit of time cycling on Mallorca & well all over Spain. I no longer bother ordering an espresso & understand when café comes with leché. A Cortado is about as adventurous as I get. Maybe I’ve just been extremely unlucky Quite coincidentally this place has popped up on a news feed today if you happen to be in Palma. https://thebarn.de/pages/the-barn-mallorca Also heard some good reports for this place in Sineu https://www.facebook.com/people/Sa-Mola-13/100062939275425/
Cuprajake I’ve just paid £45 for 3 fish n chip, and sausage n chips. Then preceded to chuck mine in the bin 🤢🤢🤢 in Wales and it’s not even nice fish.
DavecUK Cuprajake Shouldn’t eat the national dish of the North in Wales…you need to eat their local food. Not sure what it is, could be Lava Bread, which is nothing like Lembas Bread. Also Cawl and lastly, I guess Welsh rarebit?
thewelshvet OMG, that’s a disappointment at that price!! Where are you staying? Yes, Cawl and Laver bread, I guess, but the latter is perhaps best described as an acquired taste!! Hot welsh cakes off the griddle are worth finding if you can, though.
Cuprajake At a park dean in Ty mwar Yeah wasn’t the best. Then we got nipped on the arcades swallowing coins and not working. Things can only get better. Plan to bin the holiday park after tomorrow and go exploring. We have paid for some activities, It’s way too expensive for what it is.
thewelshvet Yes, we’ve just been camping up in Yorkshire and it is noticeable how expensive things are now. The staycation boom post-Covid has fuelled a lot of it, but the cost of hols at home seems to have rocketed!!
Dusk hthec I think one of the things they always do is heat the milk way too much. I was recently in a position where it was Costa or nothing for a few weeks so I succumbed a few times, I only had one half decent latte and noticed it was the only time the cup wasn’t burning my hand.
Cuprajake So currently sat stuck in traffic on the way back from Wales Decent enough, kids enjoyed it, which is main thing. Not had a coffee all week and tbh not missed it one bit 🤷 Hopefully be home for bed😂
Cuprajake Just got home. First thing turned on lol Made a brew, like I say not missed it. Really has me contemplating selling up . Perhaps my hobby has run it’s course
JahLaza Cuprajake I liked this before you edited it, then you added the other 3 lines, have you scene the light?!
Platypus Cuprajake Most hobbies wax & wane but making a decision such as this, after returning from holiday and back to the “hum drum” of life, doesn’t seem like a good time to decide to sell your coffee gear. Not to appear like a vulture though, if you did want to move your grinder on I would be very interested!
MediumRoastSteam Cuprajake Really has me contemplating selling up . Perhaps my hobby has run it’s course I’ve done that a few years ago. Sold all my gear and went back to the moka pot / filter / aero press and hand grinder. I didn’t enjoy it. Just saying… 😊🤣
