In Murky Coffee a customer tried to get an iced espresso, but was told that the store policy was to not serve iced espresso drinks because it destroys the taste of the espresso (or if you're a coffee nerd, ruins the crema). So the customer ordered an espresso and a glass of ice and poured the espresso over the ice in front of the sad barista ruining "the integrity of the coffee."
