Not Grandma's Sanka
By cadymae
As long as you are going to pick up your tall pike
Would you grab a complication for me?
A not-simple twist on coffee with milk
It will require two cups to be handed over
(You will do the final combinating)
After they use a beaker and two shot glasses to make
They'll inject hot air into the cool 2%
til it swirls agitation shown in froth
Meanwhile two shot glasses gather the squeezed nectar
Of the coffee bean in a restricted punched-through stream.
Twice.
Quad ristretto espresso macchiato whose dollop of foam will ride to the
top
Of the short steamed extra-hot one-pump classic 2% milk
Personal cup discount
Baristas span from confused to impressed to annoyed
Some do the milk to perfection while their counterpart
Fills my espresso with foam forgetting that the espresso
Macchiato is not a cappuccino or latte.
Honest.
Just a dollop
Of foam.
My milk is coming behind shortly.
A store-made self-directed flat-white takes attention
And a first world to indulge it in.
It tastes amazing though.
