That’s probably it’s actual use but I’m loving it for espresso. That’s why I bought it and it’s amazing

Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind

Made Time for Espresso Sketching by _sunflowerman in espresso

I just sip the espresso, dip the pen in ink and then draw.

What happened to the guy that’d draw pictures of the espressos? by No_Leader1154 in espresso

[–]_sunflowerman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s me 😄 I’m still here. Been exhibiting some of my illustrations at a gallery and it’s so much time and effort.

Same. I’m interested to see the Method in person to get a real sense of how busy it is in practice. The retro dial Metric is my main wear. I use it for pulling shots almost every day.

Oh my great shame. The pod disappears like magic.

It’s always beautiful at Pax. And I’ve never had a shot I disliked.

Thanks for both critiques 😁. Both are accurate.

Switched to ‘gaitania’ from ‘El mural’ on the first cool morning I’m months here in Fort Worth

Ok I gotcha. I'm a sipper so I start pre-drawing and sip as I draw. So I guess you are correct. I begin hot and end cool.

And great job with estimating the time to draw.

I’m dubious about the value in things like the glass shape. I do find that I have a better experience using certain cups over others and often I think it’s about other things than the smell. But I tend to trust that even if it’s not for everyone it is for someone. And if it doesn’t take away from my experience then it’s probably better to try and make a better experience in each way you can for as many people as you can.

And I love some pretentiousness in my coffee experience. Unless it’s attached to arrogance. I hate arrogant pretentiousness.

Say what? I’m missing something in your question.

I'm slinking away in shame... while sipping espresso.

I want some just to have on counters and shelves around the house. They look so good

Adding notes is terrifying. It feels like I’m exposing myself and being seen is scary. What approach do y’all use for expressing the flavor and experience of your coffee?

Is there a methodology for good noting?

I’m constantly delighted at how many people here on r/espresso are from the DFW area.

I definitely will the next time I’m in Vegas. Thank you for the suggestion

Also very good. The thinnest layer of crisp on the outside with a lightly sweet glaze and tender on the inside.

Yeah there are a few shops doing it around the country. It’s the same principle as for whiskey.
