Espresso Insanity!


My new little one shot espresso cup, made by hand in the traditional Italian way. Merm made the shot for me with her fabulous espresso machine. I have to say, it was sooo yummy.


Visible in the background is my machinery! A 2 shot moka pot. The best $10 I have ever spent! Makes better espresso than 99.99% of cafés out here in San Francisco.


Ever drank 4 shots of espresso in less than 5 minutes? I hadn't, until that day. Caffé Trieste makes the best in the city, that I have tasted so far.


First time at Caffé Trieste. Not only are their Espressos and Cappuccinos scrumptious, their pizza is sooo delicious!


Merm, letting her Cappuccino Grande wait while on the phone with Jilian. You can see there my Espresso Grande, which consists of 4 shots of espresso.


A somewhat decent espresso from Peet's Coffee.... Had to ask for decaffeinated, since their coffee is way too strong. Ceramic is not the standard at Peet's Coffee, nor at the majority of San Francisco's coffee shops. Usually you get your coffee in a paper cup. To get ceramic, you must ask. When you drink you coffee, you really stand out.....
