Verdict: Cleared with caveats. Watch the milk program.

Outpost Alpha maintains a serviceable espresso line and a pastry case that keeps morale high. Shot volume is consistent; crema holds under field lighting.

The milk program drifts toward sweetness under peak load. Agents ordering cortados should specify dry foam and confirm temperature. Filter coffee is competent but unremarkable — reserve for emergency rations only.

Bureau notes: Wi-Fi is unstable. Best used as a short-duration outpost, not a full briefing room.
