Seconds on the iced latte please!

The long story to this post is that I spent almost all of our European trip deprived of good coffee. This may sound contradictory so let me explain....


Greeks (or at least the cities in Crete I haunted) think that Nescafe is a legitimate replacement for real coffee. It isn't.


Germans have gone crazy for automated espresso machines. These price items do everything but look at you pretentiously as they serve you. One thing they generally don't do is make a good espresso. They are better then Nescafe yes, but good coffee no.


I dreamed nightly (morningly) about the Ninth Street Espresso shop in Chelsea Market and today I indulged those desires!
