Aotearoa Weekly Kōrero 12/8/2024 - eviltoast

Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    Definitely 2 shots.

    In NZ everything is 2 shots unless it’s short (a pet hate of mine, a caffe latte shouldn’t essentially be a giant flat white wtf nz) but a long black is 2 shots for real.

      A Long Black is prepared by adding approximately 2/3rds boiling water into a cup then extracting a double shot of espresso (60ml) over the water. […] Served in a 200-220ml Ceramic Cup.

      That makes it about 120ml water, which is in line with the other stuff I read. But I’m not convinced, it seems like too much water. Or my espresso isn’t coming out strong enough. Or maybe it’s the preparation. I have been doing the espresso first then the water. Maybe I need to try water first, then espresso.
