Hasta La Creative!

Do you want to hear about Starbucks’ new social networking site, or the new espresso machines they’re planning to roll out? The Wall Street Journal has that information.

I have different information. Last week in Austin I asked myself, besides Jo’s, where might a true espresso fiend venture. The answer wasn’t hard to find.

Caffé Medici is an espresso and coffee house located in the Clarksville neighborhood, just west of downtown Austin. They take a lot of care when making shots and that care translates directly to the coffee experience. I savored every drop of this precious brew, let me tell you. And I shuddered to think what going back to Starbucks’ burnt bean, crema-less cup would mean. It means compromise and I have enough compromise in my life, I don’t need it in my coffee.
