Wow... So I thought I would check out my new local coffee establishment this morning on my way to work. I ordered an Iced Doppio. "Whats a Doppio" the woman asked me. At first I thought, are you kidding me, but then I gave her the benefit of the doubt and just explained. I said, "Just give me 2 shots of espresso over ice". She looked at me with a blank expression. "Do you want cold brew" she asked. I said "no, just two shot of espresso over ice". She said: "I think you mean cold brew espresso." I thought to myself, "how is that even possible?" and then she pulled a 2 liter Tupperware container with about 2.5 cups of espresso in it out of the fridge. She took the cold espresso and poured it into the 1 steel double brew pitcher, then poured that over my ice that was stacked to the top of my cup. "Have a great day" she said. Well OK, I thought maybe this was something new I have not tried before. Not sure how old the espresso in the plastic container was, but it was well... not good. Pretty hard to drink actually. I did drink it though. More about making sure I had my daily morning dose of caffeine than about the enjoyment of espresso. I might try this place again, but something a little more common before I just give up. Maybe they have heard of a cappachino or latte.
