Places I’d drink a macchiato with no sugar from:

Central: Spokesman
North: Epoch
West: Epoch (Anderson or Far West)
South: Radio
East: Bennu but I’ve heard amazing things about Desnudo
Cedar park: Red Horn
Georgetown: Rivery Coffee and Desserts. Their almond 🥐 are 🔥 too

IMO Spokesman and Red Horn are standouts.

Bennu I get Mexican mocha 90% of the time because it’s on point. So I don’t really remember their espresso but I vaguely remember liking it.

I don't know who you are directing your comment to OP, but summer moon is a family-owned business and the family is *nuts*. I can deal with the moral ambiguity of corporations but I'm not going to put money directly in the pockets of individuals who actively oppose my human rights.

This question resonates with me deeply. I don’t like light/wet roasts for espresso and cold brew because of the sour flavor even though it’s preferred for fancy coffee. Epoch, Bennu, Flight Path, Mozarts, and the other older coffee shops are all ok (not necessarily speaking to quality, although Bennu and Epoch are always good). Medici can go both ways - many days sour. Anything that opened after around 2008/2009 starting with Houndstooth likely has sour coffee. If everything inside is white with natural wood accents or industrial decor touches, you can be sure of sour coffee. If you see La Marzocco or custom machines, probably sour. Japanese pour over on the menu? Sour coffee all around. Not true all the time, but true most of the time.

You would think if someone bought a 20k machine they would learn to use it

Each Houndstooth is a bit different I feel. I used to frequent the Domain location and now it’s MLK. Otherwise, try Fleet. Two locations in Austin. I also like going to Sa-ten on the weekend but that’s more for their lattes and saifa.

I've read through every one of these threads and used the observations / advice I've seen here paired with my own research to get "into the game." It seems like Ripple, Monero, Gnosis, and Golem are the ones worth being in outside of the "big 3" (not MBB). I also bought $1000 worth of ethereum at $210 yesterday because I thought that was a good price, but it's only continued to fall... is that a long term hold or should I convert it to Gnosis or something else?

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
