First Espresso Shot PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 11 July 2005
Well I had my first espresso shot today. I was expecting it to be sweet and tasty like everyone describes but was I wrong... It was a double shot and it was really bitter and the after taste was even worse. O well I guess It's an accuried taste. Ill give it another try but not anytime soon, lol.

Sounds like you may have made it yourself? Just a guess. If you don't like drip coffee, don't bother with espresso, or so it seems to me.  
 
If you didn't make it yourself with your existing skills, you might try going to where your people got the shots that were sweet and tasty as described.  
 
If you're still un-happy, perhaps you should have a coke and a smile. :grin

as he tried to say above its an acquired taste. :)

lol, 
 
I hate to let you down on this one but if your friend told you that his shot was "sweet", i would first ? where he got it and how many shots he had, and if it was an amiracano? in my expierence (witch is kindof limited I admit) shots are not necessairly "sweet" unless it was cheap coffe. Even the best espresso beans in the world are going to be bitter to some extent.  
 
happy pulling
