Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    Definitely 2 shots.

    In NZ everything is 2 shots unless it’s short (a pet hate of mine, a caffe latte shouldn’t essentially be a giant flat white wtf nz) but a long black is 2 shots for real.

      A Long Black is prepared by adding approximately 2/3rds boiling water into a cup then extracting a double shot of espresso (60ml) over the water. […] Served in a 200-220ml Ceramic Cup.

      That makes it about 120ml water, which is in line with the other stuff I read. But I’m not convinced, it seems like too much water. Or my espresso isn’t coming out strong enough. Or maybe it’s the preparation. I have been doing the espresso first then the water. Maybe I need to try water first, then espresso.
