For this moment I'll stick with... This!

I worked in one when i was living in Daytona. It's really not that hard to make coffee/espresso variations. But you do have to know what the customer wants...and asking them is the only way. You can't guess and expect them to just like it.

I hope she makes it work and gets some good help. good local coffee bars can be fun. But everything has to be right, decor, music, service, atmosphere and clientel.

I can easily see the latter being the downfall of any business around here though.

It's no secret that you make your own frou-frou coffee at home.

Black-Eye = Strong Coffee with a couple shots of Espresso in it to give it a good kick!

I don't remember what we called it, but one of my favorite espresso shots started with a ts of sugar, a ts of chocolate sauce (Hersheys) then add a shot of espresso. rot-your-teeth good!

I can't have the sugar, but the caffine rush of a strong brew with a double-shot of Espresso makes for a great eye-opener.

Gets me through many a day at work.

Sounds like a good day to wear my "Dubya is AWESOME" t-shirt.
