Mixing milk with espresso before pouring
Started out as a question - OP saw a Montreal barista add a splash of milk to the espresso, swirl, then pour as usual.
Apparently, some do this to reduce the sometimes excessively bitter first sip that happens when dark crema and milk combine.
Thought this was worth sharing. Anybody else do this?
