This is where I had my first ever date with my now-wife Melissa. We had coffee here at Short Macc several years ago. I think it was called something else though. 2002? I remember she was wearing her blue wide-neck-top showing a shoulder. How could I forget?
I've never been back here since. I wasn't really into coffee much back then. Coffee was coffee, I wasn't a coffee drinker, at least not like I am now.
Russ and I walked past Short Macc yesterday, on the way back from Spoonz. I looked in the door and noticed the Faema 2-group and said to Russ, we'll try this tomorrow.
We talked in today and I instantly noticed the Mazzer grinder full of lovely medium-brown beans, and then the bag of ' 5 senses coffee' on the shelf next to the paper coffee cups. Aaah, '5 senses' I said. This could be good.
The first thing I tried was an espresso, just how good could this be? It was delicious. It tasted just like the '5 senses' shots I pulled last week at the Barista Academy in Northbridge.
The espresso was just full of flavour with great crema. Not some botched espresso cut short and passed off as a ristretto. lovely. Russ and I ordered a Latte and Capp to leave with. I don't like coffee in paper cup's much, but hey, my capp was just excellent. The cups are quite big compared to other take-away coffee's so well worth the $4.10'ish that we paid per cup.
I will be back again and again as I think I've found my work-cuppa!
