meei / Short Macchiato

allpress. they're sweet enough to serve it with a little pitcher of steamed milk, but i hardly think it necessary when i'm ordering a short mac. characteristically flat, as all allpresses taste to me (no, not the biggest fan of), and milk steamed fairly enough.

urgh. very acrid and sour shot. smelt a tad rancid too. sharp and not becoming.

mmm. less foam than i'd usually like, but all is forgiven for the sheer scrumptiousness of the shot. one of the few places where i can genuinely appreciate the delicate notes of the dominantly mellow, earthy and intense savouriness of the supreme blend - many places tend to tip their distinctively heavy blend over the fine line of plain bitterness.

decently made. toasted espresso's blend doesn't have as much depth in flavour as i'd like.

one of the more pleasantly complex blends. a multilayered fruity, mellow front, chocolatey finish.

supreme coffee. decent enough.

i am slowly discovering that i'm not the biggest fan of mojo's house blend, but then again, coffee flavour preferences are a very personal matter.

extracted a little more bitter than i would've liked.

quite bodied, very zesty and savoury, rather sharp, a bit of bitterness at the back of the tongue that gradually softens towards the end of the drink. beautiful, beautiful foam - just the right amount of sweetness. blend feels a little rough around the edges to me, but i suppose that's what gives it its distinct character.

not bad, but i'd prematurely deduce that it definitely isn't the best in sydney, both in blend (i prefer coffees with more complex characters) and barista (prematurely because i judge from a singular visit)
