Sunday's coffee

What better way to kickstart a gorgeous sunny day than to brew some El Salvador coffee siphon style and complement it with mom's homemade coffee biscotti?...


... And then wash down an amazing gooey egg sandwich with a cortado with perfect milk foam art?

On another note, I must say thank you for your feedback on the new style I was trying out in the last post. It clearly needs some work! I tried again here, just a little bit, but I think I'll have to fiddle with some different ideas before I settle down. I'll of course keep the whimsical text too when I think it's appropriate.

I had much fun in Williamsburg today and will definitely need to venture off this island more. Posts to come!

  4. Oh, love vacuum-pot coffee! Almost as much as I despise washing that pot. And that gooey egg sandwich sounds awesome!

    So, what's wrong with your own style, if I may ask? I mean, it's great that you're trying out other techniques, but please remember to be you.
