Likewise, except understanding my immediate surroundings to be this-here forum. We do have some deep coffee sensei here!
I'm with the saying I've seen here, "Dark as hell, strong as death," but take it black, so I guess I'm doing the country-music thing by letting the love be bitter.
Some of these posts remind me of pleasures of the past. Those old three-part drip pots, for example. And Bustelo!!--it's been too long since I had that. ¡Ay caramba!, cómo me gusta Bustelo ... that coffee blows Gabriel's trumpet to every cell in your brain.

Thanked: 1I'm an espresso nut. I own a Giotto prosumer machine and a Macap grinder. My espresso of choice is Intelligentsia Black Cat, though I also like Gimmee's Leftist Blend. I've been trying for about 8 months to pour a rosetta but that has so far eluded me
I just can't get the milk perfect yet...it's really tough. For those who are not aware of this, check out this video, which is a barista pouring plain old steamed milk into a cup of espresso. Nothing else, it's all in the texture:
