Faema E61 Espresso Machine (Cropped).

On display at Top Pot Doughnuts.

 

Thursday, 9/22. Hmmm, my last day in Seattle. I got up much later than the past 2 days. In-and-out of the shower Matrix style, and headed out. The temperature rebounded from a very cool Wednesday, it felt nice. I walked 2 blocks to Top Pot Doughnuts and got a chocolate Long John (They call it, "Chocolate Bar"). It was better than Dunkin Donuts’. A lot better.

 

Vivace’s Caffe Nico had easily became my favorite drink while in Seattle. It was that good I must have one more before I go home. It is espresso, steamed half & half, orange zest, orange oil from peeling the zest, and finally dusted with the generous cinnamon powder. The sweetness of the foam is pretty much the same as the steamed ultra-pasteurized milk, and I guess I will substitute with that when making at home.

 

My trip finalized at Victrola Coffee. I had to go pick up a pound of their famous Streamline for a friend back home. My double cappa was prepared by David, who did a great job making it. I briefly chatted with Kyle before heading back to my hotel to check out.

 

Now I am cruising at 35,000 ft on my way back home. This trip was incredible. I got to taste some finest espresso pulled by many master baristi. Got to meet friends for the first time and it was all good….
