Tonight I’m craving a latte…one with whole milk and (oh no!) caffeine. The smell of freshly ground beans. A divinely pulled shot by an artist that has nothing to do with Starbucks Corporate offices. A bit of crème art that remains in the cup as I nurse its smooth caramel flavor. An experience that puts me in that happy, satisfied place.
Tomorrow, I’m going to Barista. I don’t know if I’ll request a latte made with Stumptown, Counter Culture, Ritual or Intelligentsia beans. I’ll go early, but not too early. Their decaf selection is limited, so if I go a little later, then I have reasonable deniability that they ran out of decaf and I was forced to have regular.
Shhhhhh…Our little secret!

…It was really good. And yes, I “forgot” to order decaf.
