Little known to most, prior to Northlane I was working in a women's jail teaching inmates barista skills so that they could get jobs in cafes and the like when they'd completed their sentence. Prior to this I was working in cafes and as a result I'm a huge coffee fiend. Provided the person behind the machine knows what they're doing, this is my top 5 in preference.

1. Ristretto. The best part of an espresso extraction; it's a little sweeter and lighter on the tongue — my pick if I really want to taste the coffee.

2. Espresso. I love espresso shots because of how intense they taste, only when made well though. Nine times out of ten it's like drinking diesel.

3. Cappucino. The usual classic favorite, can't beat that silky froth. Usually my go-to when on the road.

4. Affogato. Essentially an espresso shot poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is a real treat and the ice cream melts into a thick vanilla/ coffee pool of deliciousness. If you've never tried one of these you owe it to yourself.

5. Macchiato. If I'm not feeling ballsy enough for an espresso I'll go for one of these, the dollop of steamed milk really helps the flavour but it's still very intense.
