'82 Olympia Cremina Lever...

...
Moving from Milwakeatto©  to a Gibrlater.... Is that an progression in pooched roast drinks?

...

We chalk up the rise of the Gibraltar as one of coffee’s more pointless creations — an artifact of America’s milk-engorged bastardization of the standard cappuccino.

Stopped for a macchiato at Alterra yesterday.  Chewed the fat with the young barista and Gibraltars came up.  Here is a bit of history on them and how they are gaining traction in shop whose names with which we are familiar.  Don't look for them in Milo's posts or kitchen.  Name comes from the line of glasses by Libbey - has nothing to do with the rock.

Milo, He would have to learn how to steam milk on the Cremina if he wanted to make one of those . . . . . It was just easier to drive to a local shop .

You guys should take it easy on him, I've hardly touched my Gaggia Factory since I picked it up, my excuse is that I'm waiting to finish the sideboard to make my coffee shrine, but with a trip to Denver next week and Kauai the week after it keeps getting pushed back.

Yah!  You guys should take it easy on him.

So a 4.5oz drink is called the Gibraltar?

The 4oz cups I picked up in Vietnam in 2006 don't have a name on the bottom, so should I name my daily drink the Vietnam?

What a kick in the pants... My daily drink is about the same as yours and I've never been to Vietnam.

Also with Vietnamese brewer this makes things confusing to know if you you are talking about one or the other..

4oz'er has a much better ring to it if you ask me.

[staylor]

Agreed John, I don't think it's fair to confuse the small milk drinker with proclamations of country specific titles, it just seems so exclusionary. ;-)

4oz'er it is.

Long live drink naming neutrality! ;-)

[milowebailey]

I think Shaun and John are a half ounce short of a Gibraltar

[staylor]

But three times a straight shot. ;-)

I think their Gibraltars aren't wrapped real tight.

[staylor]

I think I hear John mumble something about when he gets a lever machine he's going to start following B|invisibleshots lead and get to work on his Gibraltars.

Teasing is a favorite form of attention in these parts. I am flattered <grins>.  Be at one with the attention...
