That post at The Shot is priceless. Especially when Steve Ford says “…it’s just another piece of f_cking latte art.”

But I do think the concept is kinda ninja. How else could you serve a cappuccino at 120F? Call it something completely different: the gibraltar.

I just wish people would stop freepouring their capps with art!

Scott,

Keep fighting the good fight in Nanaimo! We’re behind you! Being a missionary is always hard, but always rewarding.

Love the look of the drink in the clear tumbler. Are the folks in Nanaimo ready for this. We still smile at people who complain about our 16 oz large mugs offered at our cafe’, when apparently 7-11 offers 20 ounces of pure crap for half the price. Maybe we’ll go slow and just drink the Gibraltar ourselves… and say “this isn’t for you, you’re just not ready”.

Wait… isn’t this the same as the Austrailian “flat white”? Or am I mistaken? Otherwise, I make these for myself at work all the time.

@david and Vova
Actually, the name of this specific cup is “Gibraltar”. It’s made by a company called Libbey.

@Grady
Yes, it’s essentially a poured cappuccino, but where oh where in the city are you going to find a 4.5oz double cappuccino?

If I pour a single malt whisky into a wine glass, I can call it whatever I want, but it is still a single malt whisky.

@Vova

You can get 5oz cups at Ikea…… (The real name for the cup is called a “Tumbler”)
