On offer today in the Booths Ulverston cafe was their Ethiopian Mocha in a cafetiere. The stainless steel insulated coffee pot was great, but sadly better than the coffee itself.
A strong, thick brew that pours out looking not unlike Bisto gravy, offering a three part drinking experience. First you get that heady thickness with a sort of chalky texture, followed by a smooth very fluid gulping sensation, rounded off with a slightly bitter aftertaste. If it wasn’t so harsh and was a bit more chocolatey I could have got along with it, but by the end of the second cup it was a bit like gargling Domestos.
Choose something else next time.
