The power of a clear demitasse

Cafe Society

You know how beautiful a glass of Guinness is, with the brown bubbles cascading down into the blackness of the beer? Well, this morning I made my espresso into a clear demitasse . IT HAS THE SAME EFFECT! God, it’s gorgeous to watch the crema form a thick head and seem to cascade down into the blackness of the espresso.

I was moved to tears, it was so wonderful. I may never use opaque again.

I really love my new espresso machine. (Briel Chamonix ES-35)

My espresso experience has always been a sensory thrill centered around the teperature, aroma and taste. Adding a visual oomph sounds cool.
