There’s a nice article in the times about good espresso making it from Seattle to New York. Annoying registration required, but that’s fixable. I was pleased to see references to Espresso Vivace Roasteria, my personal all-time favorite. Wish we had something that good locally.

Ahh, Vivace. It’s of note that the owner, David Schomer, wrote a book called Professional Espresso Techniques that’s really good. Though you risk ending up with the conviction that you really need to spend a lot of money on espresso hardware.

Now I need a shot. Time to fire up the becoming-trusty Aeropress and make me some flavor.
