i've been in cape town one week and i've yet to find a good espresso!!!!!! aaarrrrrggghhhhh.
specifically, i'm in gordon's bay/strand area, which is east of cape town (about 40 minutes). most of the cafes don't know a thing about proper espresso. they leave the portafilter sitting on the counter, for crying out loud! i can understand why a starbucks would do well in places like this. for the love of pete! it doesn't take much to give care in making good coffee! pleeeease! can somebody help me find a half decent cafe in this part of the world?

Hi Von! Yes, such are the hazards of travel. I also had problems finding decent coffee in Mexico as you know. Everything is fine here (except the weather) . Bisogno is still standing. :-)
