text: I am accustomed to drinking coffee every morning from a Bialetti machine that brews a thick beverage. I also enjoy dark roasts--think French roast--so you can imagine that my morning coffee is not unlike drinking tar. When I visit various caf\u00e9s in search of coffee or espresso, I eschew light roasts whenever possible. You see where I'm going with this.\n\nSoy(a) milk in the UK is nowhere near as sweet as what is served in the States for which I am truly grateful. When I sipped my soy latte, my taste buds were greeted with unsweetened soy milk; and yet, there was the strangest second flavor to my latte. I couldn't place the flavor but it was light and almost nutty. Was I served coffee in place of espresso? I'm not sure if Black Medicine roasts its own beans but I was none too thrilled with the flavor profile of the espresso--too light for my tar pit taste buds.
