Coffee

Posts here are devoted to the simple joy of coffee—whether it’s a nitro oat latte in Fargo or a tasting flight during a road trip. I share notes on cafés visited, beans tried and the small moments that make each cup memorable.

    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. ☕️🤔

    One of my favorite Saturday morning spots to do some reading.

    Espresso crema.

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

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

    Trying to figure out what size rubber grommet I need for my espresso knock box bar. A bit bewildering. 🧐

    Espresso shower head and gasket certainly needed replacing.

    Two disassembled espresso machine parts on a painted wooden surface: a black rubber gasket with spent coffee grounds and a red-rimmed metal shower screen.

    Realized today that the group gasket and shower screen on my espresso machine is supposed to be replaced every year. I guess 10 times that long isn’t too bad. 😬 Replacements on the way!

    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! 👍🏻☕️⌚️
