I was walking down the street today and had the crazy idea to take a cup of coffee and drop in a shot of espresso. Has anyone done this before? It sounds tempting to me since I love both coffee and espresso, and I have a hard time deciding between the two in the morning. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

Haha...very cool. Ever tried it? Is there any secret to making a great Depth Charge (I like that the best)?

In Connecticut, at the local Starbucks (when I used to go there), again one shot of espresso in a cup of coffee was a Red Eye.  Two shots in a cup of coffee were called a Black Eye.

Oddly enough, that's exactly the same as I was told at Murky in DC.

Some people, when you ask for it, come up with different names.  I have even heard it be called "Cowboy Coffee" (for the one shot w/coffee).

By "Oddly enough" I was referring to the fact that Starbucks got it right.  It happens once in a while, and always throws me...
