--- Quote from: hedgie on 13 Sep 2016, 21:55 ---My first job had an "off-menu" drink called "the heart-stopper". We made it by sticking espresso shots in a part of the fridge where the water would freeze at the top and we could concentrate them further. A 16 oz cup had about 14 oz of this concentrated expresso, 2 oz of cream, and a dash of sugary flavour. For most of the time I had worked there, there was only one regular who I'd even serve them to. Then one day, I was dumb enough to say what it was to someone I knew. I broke down and served him after a week of begging and cajoling. He didn't sleep for two days, and his girlfriend said that he had *ahem* problems because of it.

Take the sugar, cream, and flavouring out of it, and that sounds amazing. Concentrated espresso is a brilliant idea. I am surprised and annoyed that in all my time as a coffee afficianado, including my time as a barista, I had not thought to try that. This must be corrected.

If we allowed one to order it, yeah. Unfortunately, the place used fairly bad beans, so even for someone like me, it made it more palatable.

Basically the same idea as freeze-distillation. Stuff was pure rocket fuel. Sometimes the only "flavouring" I used was Rumpelminz or some other type of peppermint schnapps. Well, not for customers, obviously.

It's about 3000mg caffeine per bottle, so slamming the entire bottle at once is not recommended. Its intended use is for adding water to make 24 cups of (fairly strong) coffee, but she takes it neat in a 2-ounce shot glass with her breakfast. And then chases it with an ounce of lemon juice.
I don't drink her coffee; she doesn't eat my ghost peppers. Fair's fair.
It's reputed to be very good coffee, when diluted to regular coffee strength. As a non-coffee drinker, I wouldn't know.

Yeah.. I'm guessing this was meant as a joke, but I feel it's kind of problematic in language and implication. Identifying Emily as 'The Asian'... she's more than just her ethnic background. And marking her as something to be conquered.. yeah, not good. No idea where you are getting 'Quentin' from. At a guess it's some reference that I'm just not getting to something else. But that doesn't make it any less squicky.
