Red Squirrel Jun 2013 9:21am, 30 Jun 2013 9,685 posts	0 Red Squirrel Non-tea drinker here and nowhere to talk about the caffeine bean, so I thought I'd start a thread. This morning's cup: Bean: Mexican single origiin - Terruno Nayarita Reserva. Method: Hob pot. Milk?: Warmed full-fat goat. Sweetener: Agave nectar. Result: Something between a flat white and a macchiato - smooth and strong. How was yours?

Red Squirrel Jun 2013 11:45am, 30 Jun 2013 9,689 posts	0 Red Squirrel Interesting that no-one sweetens their coffee. I can't take coffee without brown sugar when I'm out and about or agave nectar at home. I also like the coffee you get in Sumatra and Vietnam where they put condensed milk in first. I think the Spanish have a similar thing called Cafe Bombon.
