Last call

Yesterday Stockholm's nicest barista closed his coffee bar in Gamla Stan, so this called for a quick visit for a chat and a last shot of that black gold.

1 day left.

And look and behold who sits on the top shelf...


...and who is in the grinder too? No-one less than David Lynch! Ok, his signature coffee to be more precise.


So of course I had to have one. Good, but nothing special. No parallel realities, doppelgangers or even midgets appeared. ;)

Haugaard's Cuatro blend was a much better espresso, excellent even. Still without strange sensations though.

/O.K.

I´ve found a place in Södertälje where you can buy coffee beans with chocolate flavor. Now that´s "my cup of tea".!

For those of us not so into coffee as you are, O.K., could you explain what David Lynch has to do with espresso?

We went to this fantastic Italian restaurant in Absecon on Friday night, I think it was called Tri Figlio, and they had the best cappucino I had in the last few months. I had some in another restaurant (should this remain nameless, let me think, hmmmm, no, it was Fresco in East Brunswick which used to be good and no longer is great but they still think they are great, which is a great problem) which tasted like bitter coffee with cold milk, and when I actually returned it and got another one ("with extra steamed milk") it was equally bad. It was like making cappuccino on burnt Lofbergs Lila with watery skim milk. Not even sugar helped.

Too bad this place closed... Maybe you should start a new coffee, bike parts, and music bar? Innovative combination!

Apparently he's a coffee geek to such degree that he has his own blend.
