Give it to me straight, like a pear cider that’s made from 100% pears.
This is brilliant and worth every minute, as is the second part. I’ve forgotten who pointed me to this…apologies.
A video project I worked on with Clive Coffee, based out of Portland, Oregon. A lot of fun, and a nice visual way to learn a little bit about home espresso machines.
Clive Coffee’s showroom is a fun place to go, and I’m glad they approve of my Rancilio Silvia (it’s in one of the last illustrations). I wish I had a reason to buy another machine. Well, I’d love a plumbed unit with a dual boiler but I must wait.

Now I want a beer, the desert, and a new age video.

Color me…interested.
We don’t normally make drinks that involve mixing with cola. Too often it reminds us of those college drinks that are more efficient at getting you drunk than tasting delicious. (The Mainehattan is a notable exception.) However, it’s also not often that we are forced out of our house by the…
