I am not a coffee drinker. Being cursed with supertaste, I have spent my life finding the stuff utterly undrinkable.

But now I'm nearly 50, many of my taste buds have died off and I have been slowly managing to acquire the taste.

The flat in Portugal came with an expensive coffee machine, which @Zoe O'Connell uses but I don't (it'll do hot water, but not hot enough for decent tea, so I reverted to the kettle very quickly).

But today I asked it to make me something called a "Latte Macchiato", which the picture shows in a glass.

And now I know why. The preparation is quite a show! The machine adds hot milk, then milk froth, then coffee. The coffee drops straight through the froth layer to form a new layer in the middle which then artfully diffuses into the milk below.

Tasted not offensive too. Actually almost pleasant.

But as a tea drinker, I have a very very low tolerance for caffeine and OH MY GOD ALL THE THINGS SOMEONE TURN THE WORLD DOWN!!!!!!!Eleven!!!!
