Hello Andrew, I fully agree...
The morning stress makes it difficult to dedicate enough concentation to press right, especially if I have a 6:00 flight and I have to rush to the airport. I must say that living in Italy spoiled me by leaving the house "dry" and rush with 200 to the "Autogrill" make a pit stop for an Espresso and back on the high revs on the motorway.

Ciao
Luc

But, you are right, Art…
Any 3-hand watch can be used to time boiled eggs and coffee extractions to perfection (and give our brains something to do). We share a love for the Constellation, and here is one in its reflected glory. Thought you might enjoy… Andrew...
Most definitely, Andrew . . .
. . . a photo blending two passions is a special pleasure . . . and yes, I love coffee almost as much as beer! Cordially, Art
I am quite proud of this quote…
Yes, Australians love their coffee and it is common to take long detours to find the right barista in the best coffee house. We follow the Italian style of coffee making, possibly due to the number of Italian migrants that came here in the 1950’s. [That’s...
