Located in the Lutheran Student Center across the street from Texas Tech University.
The room adjacent to the "coffee bar" is fairly comfortable, with high tables and chairs, and a relaxing atmosphere.
The coffee bar itself appears to be a transformed establishment kitchen. A 1-group Rio machine, and a Rio flat-burr commercial grinder. The true manufacturers of the respective machines is anyone's guess.
Drink ordered:
Double Cappuccino
The doser was full of ground (who knows when) Daybreak coffee (not a good sign).
The filterbasket was well under-dosed and not tamped at all, meaning extremely week coffee (I dare not call it espresso).
I shrug it off, as I have become quite accustomed to below-average coffee from most establishments in Lubbock.
The milk is steaming, and I listen as I hear it pushed far beyond the point of scalding.
With less foam than my companion's latte (very very little, if any), burned milk, and possibly the weakest excuse for espresso I have ever tasted, this was one of the worst cappuccinos I believe I have ever tasted.
Served in a 12oz. to-go cup. There was no ceramic cup in sight.
Grind per shot: no
Tamped: no
Shot time: NA
Milk froth: terrible(hardly existent)
Overall score: 0 out of 10
Don't waste your time.
