Coffee is one of my daily pleasures and I adored monmouth coffee in borough market, London - a favourite saturday morning indulgence and where I faithfully bought all my beans. I could absolutely never resist a monmouth cappuchino! The milk is pure creamy decadence all the way through not big froth and then over milky as a lot of cappuchinos are in my humble opinion:) Elsewhere I would prefer a macchiato - espresso with a little froth. I have been to France many times and have amazing memories of cafe creme but sadly this trip have been disappointed every time. It just tastes too milky, not creamy and rich at all. Strangely I was also just talking to some Londoners whose friend owns flat white in Soho and they inform me that London is now full of coffee snobs and the best place in Europe for coffee! Can it be? Anyway... after trials and tribulations I have decided that my perfect coffee in France is now a noisette. Espresso with a drop of cream, literal translation to english meaning hazelnut, named so for its beautiful colour. Voila!
