It\u2019s also the only decent cappuccino in town. We\u2019d go every morning, order our fried eggs, and get three cappuccinos each. The waitresses had to make the cappuccinos themselves. We ordered so many that some of them began to dislike us. One in particular, whom we called Lower East Side. But all of them tried to get away before we had a chance to say, Could we get another.<\/p>\n<p>All, that is, except for a <em>Swingers<\/em>-looking guy, slightly pudgy, whom we were convinced was gay until Clancy complimented his signet ring. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cMy wife gave me that. We have the sealing wax, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We bought a Nespresso machine, and so we stopped going to the Bluebird. Also Lower East Side was starting to make us feel uncomfortable, even unwelcome. Months went by.<\/p>\n<p>Last Sunday, because we ran out of milk for our machine, we said, \u201cLet\u2019s go to the Bluebird.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was packed. We sat at the counter. Clancy got a cappuccino and I got coffee. He took a sip of his drink and said, \u201cBlech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I tried it. \u201cThat\u2019s terrible. It tastes like burned plastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clancy ordered a cup of drip coffee and pushed the cappuccino away. When the drip came, he poured some of the cappuccino in optimistically.<\/p>\n<p>He took a sip. \u201cBlech. I think that\u2019s worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I tried it. \u201cIt tastes like burned plastic. Get a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clancy looked at Lower East Side and shook his head. While her back was turned he asked a different waitress.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the meal, Lower East Side looked at all our cups. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on here?\u201d she said accusingly.<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cIt tastes like burned plastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clancy said, \u201cI think something\u2019s up with the cappuccino.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt tastes like burned plastic,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cDo you want me to take it off your bill?\u201d For the first time since we\u2019d known her, she seemed happy. She even seemed to like us. It was mysterious.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, perversely, we went back to the Bluebird. We sat side-by-side in a booth. We both ordered drip coffee. Lower East Side was in a great mood. When we\u2019d finished our oatmeal, Swingers came to our table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you two aren\u2019t doing the cappuccino?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, just coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Something was wrong. We didn\u2019t know what. Swingers left the table and returned with two cups of espresso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe used LaVazza for years,\u201d he said, \u201cbut we roast our coffee, so I thought, Why not roast our own espresso? Give it a try.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We took sips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s got a woody taste?\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA woody taste?\u201d He didn\u2019t conceal his annoyance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of one-dimensional,\u201d Clancy said, very apologetically.<\/p>\n<p>Swingers walked away. When we got outside I said, \u201cIt tasted like he strained a bale of hay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with LaVazza?\u201d Clancy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt must be cheaper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next day, we went to the Bluebird again. Lower East Side said brightly, \u201cTwo coffees?\u201d We checked the room for Swingers and then nodded.<\/p>\n<p>When we were done with our oatmeal, Swingers sneaked up from behind and dropped a cappuccino in front of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my fourth batch,\u201d he said. \u201cLet me know what you really think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Swingers left the table, Clancy took three big gulps, and I said, \u201cThank you.
