Milk texture was very close, but just a little on the frothy side. Crema was good. Extraction was good. Temperature good. However, despite all of that, the dominating taste was burnt / scalded milk. The milk wasn't re-heated, but I did notice that the empty jug was pretty grubby and maybe all that existing milk coating was the culprit that spoilt an otherwise really good coffee. I'll try and get a second opinion before leaving town, although the Toby's Estate at the other end of town is an attraction.

Beans are Schibello, and machine is San Marino; I rarely have a good coffee out of those. Latte was average: bubbly froth added to already nearly flat shot, roast bland. However, this was a highway stop, milk temperature spot on, some crema ... in that context very drinkable. Food fresh and yummy, service friendly and fast.

The Woden area is a little bereft of quality coffee outlets, and so when I saw the positive review of this establishment I felt duty-bound to give it a whirl. Upon entering I saw the combination of La Marzocco machine and Veneziano beans and felt cautiously optimistic.

My latte was duly delivered, and there was crema, by the bucket load, smooth and delicious. The milk was just the right temperature, and had been added before the crema disappeared; I often watch in horror as the espresso shot sits abandoned "going flat" while the milk is textured, but not today. So the coffee was good, but n...

When I see a shiny red La Marzocco in a cafe I suspect one of two things: either this place is serious about their coffee, or this place is serious about their image. Based upon a single visit to this cafe, I'm afraid I'm tending towards the latter.

My latte had an unappealing grey colour in the glass, perhaps a characteristic of the roast. Alternatively, it might be a consequence of letting the crema disappear before adding milk: the presentation was a little like a flat white with froth on top. On the positive side, milk temperature and extraction seemed good.

Oh, and the apple and blu...
