“Black gold.” ☕️🤩

High quality mid-day espresso is a nice upside of working from home. ☕️

Delicious espresso. ☕️

Had an amazing coffee at the new Little Joy Coffee in Downtown Northfield. Amazing coffee, great shop, and top notch barista! Tim the owner is super knowledgeable about all things coffee. Go here! ☕️

Coffee Cathedral. Ratio Eight making magic with beans from Sump Coffee. ☕️

I tried a Melbourne “Magic” today. I would have a hard time telling the difference between a Magic and Cappuccino. ☕️

Very first espresso from my new Breville Oracle espresso machine. I’m impressed with the capabilities and the quality of the espresso. ☕️

Took my new Ratio Eight Coffee Maker and Baratza Virtuoso grinder for a first run this morning, paired with Sump Coffee beans. It’s like an automatic Chemex, delicious brew! ☕️ Awesome surprise from my amazing and thoughtful wife. 🥰

The Kingfield at Five Watt is definitely a treat, not an everyday coffee, but it sure is delicious. Fancy coffee time! ☕️

Mazie and I getting some coffee at Blue Bottle Coffee by World Trade Center. ☕️

Espresso. ☕️

Cleaning my espresso machine’s portafilter always gives me a moment of pause when you clean the tar-like sludge and consider “Wait, I drink this?” 😯☕️

Coffee flight at Fairgrounds: Verve (Santa Cruz), Dark Matter (Chicago), and Stumptown (Portland). All delicious. ☕️

Checking out the new Fairgrounds Craft Coffee & Tea in North Loop. ☕️ Very good coffee. Fried egg sandwich is amazing.

Espresso time. ☕️

Afternoon coffee flight – macchiato with cappuccino at Cafe Umbria. ☕️

Espresso. 🤤☕️

When you clean that black crud out of the bottom of your espresso machine’s portafilter it makes you pause a moment on what you are drinking — and then you make another espresso. ☕️🤔

Got a set of the Bodum demitasse for Christmas. Lighter than my typical Illy demitasse but I like that you can see the espresso. ☕️

Leveling up my coffee fussiness with this new coffee distribution tool. ☕️

There should be a proper espresso demitasse emoji. ☕️ misses the point.

Being able to raise your wrist and say “Hey Siri, turn espresso on” a few miles from home on a cold bike ride is so great! 👍🏻☕️⌚️

Good morning Minnesota! ☕️

Good morning! Espresso crema… ☕️

Sometimes the espresso looks so much more delightful than others. ☕️

Good morning espresso! ☕️

Morning routine. ☕️

Espresso, straight.

Making some coffee.
