The Bad Coffee Blues

Don't get on the wrong side of Lane Nichols who blogs for Wellington-based "The Dominion" newspaper. Rue the day you "cock up" (mess up) his order for a "Long black, poured halfway. Make it strong." Nichols is obviously "one of us" as evidenced by his comments:

But send out an over-extracted, lukewarm double espresso with no crema and I'm likely to explode in a furious caffeine-depleted rage.

I guess you could call me a coffee snob.

Way to go, Lane!
