Loose Caboose

Readers' Pick

Ten seconds is all it takes to burn an espresso shot. It may not seem long, but those 10 seconds can make all the difference in the world. From burned and bitter-tasting to downright awful, some drinks are overpowered by a 12-second shot. But when it comes to a cutesy locomotive better known as the Loose Caboose, drinks are always just right. Loose Caboose: Multiple Locations; 728-1748
