Heavy handed Rosetta

Got to raise the pitcher for the finishing touch. If not, you end up with a heavy heart, like this. Still pretty! Continue reading

From the past few days...

Bounced back on the 1% milk train. The final froth definitely lacks the silky smooth texture of whole, or even 2%, but froths to a delicate microfoam quite easily. Attempting latte art necessitates properly frothed milk. If you're having trouble getting the right density, check out this great article from... Continue reading

How I Learned to Etch

Here's a great etching tutorial from Barista Bros. I like this for its simplicity- as long as your producing crema and steaming your milk properly, you're guaranteed success. Continue reading

Trump the Stump

A latte and a cappuccino from the Blue Bottle kiosk at SF MOMA. As delicious as it is beautiful. This is one if the best spots in SF. Worth the price if admission for sure- and if you're a member they take a few pennies off the top. Continue reading

My best.

2% milk and single shot of Peet's espresso forte blend. I used a larger frothing pitcher this time. I think giving the milk extra spin room leads to better texture. Continue reading

Home Away

When I get a call that sends me to New York, I'm usually happy for two reasons: a. My family is on the east coast. b. Stumptown roasters. And while seeing my dad is certainly nice, nobody does it better than Stumptown. Nestled in the loins of the Ace Hotel,... Continue reading

Apple...

...with a little stem tail. Finally descaled my machine after daily use over the past 6 months. Not much of a noticeable difference in terms of flavor or pump performance. Must be that SF tap keeping it clean. Blue Bottle Hayes Valley blend. Continue reading

Two for the morning.

This is some delicious Blue Bottle Hayes Valley Blend espresso. I'm experimenting with different milks- this was organic skim. Easy to froth, but lacks the richness of my usual 1 or 2%. Continue reading

More like monthly espresso.

March was an incredible month for me- shooting reality shows in New York, filming execs in SF and Food expos in Anaheim. It has been less exciting for my espresso, and admittidly much less exciting for the blog. I started Daily Espresso as a means of capturing my growth from... Continue reading
