OK, so I know this is supposed to be a design blog. But I wanted to share something from Morocco that has truly impacted my day-to-day life. Coffee coffee coffee!! Or more specifically noss noss. A noss noss means 'half half' and is a delicious small glass off hot milk, espresso shot topped with a scoop of froth. Oh, and served with a couple of sugar cubes.
On a recent trip to Morocco, I enjoyed at least one of these every day. I loved the whole experience of sitting in a cafe with my travel buddies watching the world go by while we enjoyed our caffeine hit. And a good noss noss is not just a treat for the taste buds - it can also be a treat for the eyes, as the coffee and milk merge together in beautiful ever-changing ripples. It is truly a little slice of heaven in a petite glass.
I have continued my quest to create the perfect noss noss back home in Australia - with varying results. The quest continues...
