Barista in Portland said milk matters more than beans, and I can't decide if he's right
Was in a shop on Alberta St last month and the guy pulling shots said something that stuck with me. He said he'd rather have great milk and okay beans than the other way around, because bad milk covers up everything. I've been going back and forth on this for weeks now. Half of me thinks the bean is the whole point of this hobby, and the other half remembers every flat white I've had where the milk made it. Where do you all land on this?
