I have finally figured out, after years and a lot of money for different doctors and different drugs, that it is caffeine that causes my headaches. As in, I will probably never drink caffeinated coffee again. (Yes, it is very sad, but I suppose better than having a headache twice a week that requires a $25 painkiller to eliminate.) Jerks like that make me afraid to drink anything but coffee I have made myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23451718.post-69901235923786991462011-07-28T06:34:11.907-07:002011-07-28T06:34:11.907-07:00He's correct about the ice and hot shots.

To do this correctly you should put about 5 ounces, or 1/3 of the cup with tap water, then pour your shots into that. After the shots have cooled off a bit with the water, add your ice.<br /><br />This way, no bitter espresso and no melted plastic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23451718.post-46918776746746650812011-07-09T15:16:43.072-07:002011-07-09T15:16:43.072-07:00Consider temperin the shock of the espresso by add...Consider temperin the shock of the espresso by adding a little bit of filtered water to the bottom of the cup--about 1/4 of an inch. Add the espresso to that, one quick swirl, ice on top of that.<br /><br />Conversely, she's ordering an iced americano and is a former barista, which means she should smile, take the drink, and order something else if she doesn't like your process. <br /><br />Any chance you have considered cold brewing?
