We didn't try a coffee here, but we were thinking of it until...
Our table was situated with a good view of the coffee machine. At first there were good signs, the milk was done with some care and looked glossy from where we sat. But after seeing a shot prepared and poured we decided on hot chocolates and a beer. The reasons: the dose into the portafilter was far to small, the tamp was very soft and showed the small amount of coffee in the portafilter, and then the shot came out like a waterfall in flood. Needless to say the shot was over quickly. Hence the choice in drinks.
In a phrase: not even worth trying the coffee.

From the producers...
Welcome to lekker-coffee!!
We are coffee lovers from Australia who have recently moved to The Hague, Netherlands. Through this blog we want to share and hear from other coffee geeks from around the continent, especially The Netherlands, and especially (for our enjoyment) The Hague, about the best coffee's you've had.
We called the blog lekker as "lekker" (our dictionary says) is a Dutch word meaning "good; nice, enjoyable, delicious, tasty" (well hopefully that's a good translation - sorry Dutch folk if its not), and we like LEKKER coffee!!

Best Coffees So Far...
This is our list, not the best we've ever had, but the best we've tried so far in and around Den Haag:
1. Dendy.
2. Kaldi.
3. Crunch.
Last list:
1. Zwarte Ruiter
2. Lunchbox
3. Crunch
The changes have come from new finds as well as either good experiences or bad experiences on return trips. Zwarte Ruiter dropped out, too many bitter coffees and waterfall pours on shots. Return trip to Kaldi produced a better coffee than most. Crunch is consistently passable.
