PJP: One Small Swallow for Man, One Giant Gulp for Mankind

I feel quite technologically advanced right now since I'm typing this blog up on the iPad. It's murdering my wpm, but at least it's not a typewriter. I feel compelled to stop using contractions though because the apostrophe is on the second page of the keyboard.

Anyways, in the world of coffee, we're trying to branch out. Many traditional Italian drinks are intended to be made in only 5 or 7 oz. sizes. While our house size for most drinks is between 10 and 12 oz., this is in large part to meet demand. Espresso is intended to be consumed in small quantities. Did you know that certain fast-food chains now sell soda (or pop, for weirdos) by the BUCKET? 128 ounces at the drive through. That's 13 of our lattes.

Well, we're moving somewhat in the opposite directon. In case you haven't noticed it, we now have a Tiny Drinks Menu up on the counter. Not only is the menu tiny, the drinks are as well.

If you have already had a latte or a larger drink and you still want a little something to get you through your project, check it out. Or if you want a more artisan, complex drink as a treat, ask your barista for a tiny recommendation. Options on the small menu range from the cortado, a mini latte with lots of espresso punch, to the mocha Valencia, famous for the orange peel we flame over the top of the chocolate.

To encourage you to check it out, mention the blog this week through Friday and get 50 cents off a tiny drink. Come see us! Now excuse me while I check for typos. iPad is not my favorite typer.
