Cappuccino;
Size We didn’t ask for a small size but the large size was just the start of the bad news Heat We had asked for the coffee not to be too hot and yet we got scalding hot !I suppose in an attempt to appease us we were served a small jug of cold milk as well ! When I asked for a smaller cup at the correct temperature the waiter was quite willing to help but only when I pointed out the size cup I wanted on top of the Espresso machine did he realise that they in fact had the size I wanted !
Extraction; No body and lacked flavour
Milk;
Swirl/Decant ; Decanted cold foam from large jug and scalding hot milk from another !
Temperature; Really bad
Biscotti;None
A place I would give a wide berth until they got the milk under control .
