Espresso at Home

Bigwaved · 11-16-2008, 09:34 AM

I make my own. I roast my own. I am too lazy to blend my own. I do it 99% of the time now. It has made a dent in my regular coffee roasting/drinking. My wife looks at me cross eyed if she doesn't have her own every day. She cannot stand Starbucks anymore. My job is done with the exception of my art still being horribly abstract.

Well, I'm getting better.....as compared to being a total retard, I'm now just a partial retard....

First pull when I got home tonight from work....(I KNOW I need improvement, but I'm working on it!!!)

And NO, that is NOT Guinness!!

Well, it LOOKS like Guinness.

Pretty sure he got that pour from a Guinness bottle...

Nah, it wasn't a Guinness bottle....but I will tell you, some of the best espresso I've used in a while came from this......

Espresso Di Palermo

Dark Roast, Medium acidity, exceptional body, thick reddish crema, with strong notes of black cherry and dark chocolate
