That’s a Cappuccino! Poke Hack Day
It’s our very first Hack Day here at Poke. And we have 24hrs to come up with an idea and build it into a real ’something’ on the interweb.
It’s a touch challenge. And i hope that Team #1 can live up to it’s name. We battle valiantly against some of the best in the industry today. The theme has been set: FOOD…… read the rules etc here :)
Our thoughts turn to the ( very disturbing ) slippage of standards, of Cappuccino making we been experiencing recently! We will stand no more for these ropey Lattes passing themselves off as Cappuccinos. What’s with all the milk ?? It’s diluting the caffeine! An overly milky coffee plainly isn’t good enough to keep our hard working brains afloat. It’s simply a dangerous predicament. So we’re standing up and shouting about it.
Introducing “That’s a Cappuccino”. The campaign to seek out and highlight the best and the worst of the offenders who shun ‘The Golden Rule’ of 1:1:1 Espresso to steamed milk, to froth. We will expect no more, no less. And we will be coming to a coffee shop near you very soon ……

A great idea! It’s similar to a twitter concept of reporting on mince pie quality. Check out his tweets http://twitter.com/n_smooth
I like the idea with Cappuccino that you could make a map and showing the locations of these reviews. Then people could put in their location and you could tell them where their nearest good cappuccino is. Do you have a points scheme for different things like forth and size etc?

I really dig the whole thing. The velocity of it is exciting.
I just read about a thing that Ryan Carson’s team did on turning around a whole web project and service in four days. But one day is even better!
BTW, I dig your blog lots. And I found it through Cookie’s blog. Solid stuff all around.
