Time killing for boarding I drink coffee at a coffee tent at Schiphol and watch a nice scene: an employee is trained behind the counter. It’s about baristaskill But also about types of coffee beans and flavors. The manager explains: “There are five different flavors: sweet, salt, sour, bitter and …” it remains quiet. “Umami” I suggest being careful, thinking to be helpful. My input is not appreciated. She looks at me with a mix of irritation and desperation and after a short break she says resolutely: “No, not with us.”
