Thanks to a friend’s recommendation to download the London’s Best Coffee app, this has reinvigorated my coffee obsession. Now I have a portable list of coffee places to try. No. 1 on the app’s Top 25 list is Nude Expresso on Hanbury Street.

I went to Nude last year on a coffee high from my Madrid trip and recall that I did not like the coffee there. In fact I threw half the coffee away. On my revisit this morning I opted for the flat white again. More expensive than the normal at £2.50 for a small cup, I now recall why I am not a big fan.

If you like your coffee slightly strong with a bitter aftertaste then this might be your cup of coffee. For me, initially the bitter aftertaste subsided quite quickly. But as I kept drinking the bitterness lingered. I prefer my coffee to a lil’ more milky flavoured. Maybe I am coffee matured because I finished the whole cup without the urge to hurl it in the bin. Might try the latte next time.
