Got a refund on my lunch delivery because it was crazy late, which I'm glad about because I tried a pumpkin spice latte and I'm happy to not be paying money for it. I'm going full Melbourne coffee snob on this one.. the Americans just don't get coffee.

Even butternut? My wife was the same till she tried roasted butternut.

Yeah, even butternut. Sorry. Pumpkin's just not my jam

Try it roasted with chimichurri. Might change your mind.

I suspect that would be the same old taste and texture of roast pumpkin, just with a nice spice on it

They keep pots of it laying around. They wouldn’t know a good espresso is it put them in the arse. I suspect that’s another thing Australia has immigrant to thank. Otherwise we’d all be drinking bogan dust.
