After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

long mac (variation)

greetings,

recently when i order a long mac i have been getting 2 very different drinks.

1, a long black with a few mls of cold milk and a tiny staining of micro foam on top

2; a doppio with a few mls of cold milk and a tiny staining of microfoam on top

these 2 drinks taste completely different and i much prefer the latter. I had always thought a long mac was drink 2, but i am beggining to think i may be wrong

thanks guys and excuse my ignorance

    Hi To me a long mac has always been a double shot with just micro foam on top. I could be wrong though because i've been served 5 or 6 different variations when out. LE

    ive always been taught that a long mac is double shot with textured milk pretty much to the top of the mac glass :| macs are the sorta drink that whenever possible the barista should ask how the customer prefers it because there are a fair few perceptions on how they should be served.

    the most common i've found have been doubles no added water, variations on hot or cold milk though by definition i think you need hot to have microfoam to "stain"...

    Well, we make a few of them at my joint, and I would have to say that my preferred tipple consists of a double shot (no more than 40mls max), topped with about 30ml of freshly steamed milk - finished with a splash of cold milk. I like to be able to throw my LM down the gullet straight away!  So for that reason alone I like the cold milk added! ACG
