They look just like any other small coffee outlet, though I think (? reinforcing here that I am nub) I saw a Clover. Anyways, I ordered a macchiato for some reason as a way to test out their coffee. Why I did this, I have no idea, considering I don&#8217;t know the first thing about them. What did impress me, even though I&#8217;m easily impressed, was that he poured it and then asked me, &#8220;is that short enough?&#8221; It was funny because I actually expected it to be shorter, as it looked like a significant amount of milk; he had made that simple heart-shaped coffee art with it. And when I had it, it was like BAM omg espresso, along with the milk. For some reason I&#8217;m just not used to drinking macs, I find they are oddly strong for a drink with tiny dash of foamy milk. But then again I&#8217;m terrified of ordering a ristretto since then the baristas would think I&#8217;m some kind coffee expert, which I&#8217;m not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means I have to go get a flat white, since that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m used to getting and know how it&#8217;s supposed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guy also offered me a coffee card, so now I have an even bigger wallet full of coffee cards XD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"854\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Double-Barrel-Coffee-Merchants.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Double-Barrel-Coffee-Merchants.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Double-Barrel-Coffee-Merchants-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Double-Barrel-Coffee-Merchants-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">One day I&#8217;m going to learn how to make coffee and buy myself a Giotto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">COFFEE MONSTAAR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So there&#8217;s this new coffee place that opened up pretty much right on Wynyard Station, called Double Barrel Coffee Merchants.
