ブルーボトル 新宿カフェ
Espresso (Hayes Valley) and pourover coffee (Kenya)
砂糖とミルクなしのエスプレッソ, 酸味が心地よく効いていてコクもありました. ドリップコーヒー(ケニア)は, やはりクリーンで爽やかな味わい.
This Hario 'drip kettle' is preferred for pour over style coffee because the S-curved spout allows careful control of the speed and amount of hot water being added to your grounds. I also have to say that the Hario is beautifully finished and has a feel comensurate to its price!
Also exciting is the Esbit alcohol stove and wind screen allowing me to explore the 'Coffee Shop Without Walls' during the current #coffeeneuring challenge.

April 7: Favorite Kitchen Tool
My favorite tool varies depending on the day but my pour over coffee maker gets much love on all the days.
My pourover set from my trip to Japan, the Torch Pourover set. The donut (black thing in the back) and the glass server. Got the Takahiro kettle for quite sometime, amazing pot. I was brewing #BlueBottle Kenya Kiambu Yara Peaberry.
So, I went down to Big Sur for Woodsist Fest..some things about that:
-Woodsist is a festival curated by the band Woods, which is a fantastic band you should know about, especially if you love Neil Young as much as I do.

-It's easily the most laid back and comfortable festival I have ever gone to, which was fantastic. I sat on a blanket on the ground the whole time. There was only one stage and though it was "sold out" it wasn't crowded at all. They were turning people away that tried to buy tickets at the "door" even when there was plenty of space with people stretched out on blankets.
-Fresh & Onlys lead singer sounds more like Ian McCulloch (Echo and the Bunnymen lead singer) and he wouldn't stop talking about how impressed he was by the band White Fence.
-White Fence is a psychedelic rock band that features the lead singer from Darker My Love, which is an even darker sounding psych rock band (they opened for Warlocks and this was fitting. I have some portrait shots of them hanging out in the LSA bathroom on flickr if you really want to look that up. Unfortunately, I also had Pertussis/Whooping Cough at the time and didn't know it. I was still going to shows like the crazypants person I am.)
-White Fence was actually way better this time than when I recently saw them at the Empty Bottle, which was also the night of the freak hail storm in June in Chicago.

-Thee Oh Sees actually headlined instead of Real Estate but that worked out well. Seeing/watching West Coasters trying to mosh is hilarious and enlightening. Hilarious because they are still so respectful of space that they don't really mosh properly and enlightening because I really don't like the thought of strangers touching me and possibly breaking all of my camera equipment. Chicago moshers should take lessons. I am more likely to die in a mosh pit than a lime pit, trust me.
I was happy to survive the treacherous Highway 1 which was a little like driving a rollercoaster up and down the sides of foggy mountains on narrow roads that have cliff drop offs.
-Big Sur is beautiful..I mean, there's a reason why $1,000 is a reasonable fine for littering. However, if you go to Woodsist, be forewarned that there was only one vendor (selling tacos) and ZERO VEGETARIAN OPTIONS, which basically meant that I had nothing but trail mix in my stomach for the nine hours I was there and by the time the fest was over, everything in the town of Big Sur was closed because it was 10pm on a Sun. and that's just how they roll..or don't roll.
-Also, Big Sur has the worst coffee I have ever tasted. It's true I am a bit of a pourover coffee snob. I'm not going to lie about that. But this stuff you couldn't even classify as coffee. I tried four different places/types of coffee beans and was hugely disappointed. They should just call that stuff black water and be done with it. So, bring some beans, a grinder, and a french press with you if you go. You're welcome.

That's all for now..oh wait, I LOVE KITTIES! Yes, that's it now.

Fossgate in York is awash with coffee shops and cafes, sometimes the coffee shops serve more than "pastries" so hard to tell
where the crossover is but judging by the coffee served is never wrong.
First class "pour over" here V60 in use and delicious.

Curator - An AI Photography Critique System
Caption: a man is preparing coffee in a kitchen
Interestingness: 6.19/10 (★★★☆☆)
Critique: This photograph captures a scene of someone preparing coffee with an aesthetically pleasing composition. The overall ambiance is warm due to the focused lighting on the subject against a darker background. However, it appears that some elements could be improved upon.
The primary issue seems to stem from the low score in 'composition', which suggests potential improvements such as more careful framing of subjects and perhaps moving objects out of view for cleaner lines. The focus is on the coffee preparation process with an emphasis on detail, but slight adjustments might enhance this further.
For instance, the lighting could be enhanced by ensuring that there's even illumination across the entire scene rather than relying heavily on a single light source which creates stark contrasts and shadows. Additionally, refining the placement of objects such as cups or spoons to avoid clutter can help in creating a more visually appealing composition.
In summary, while this photograph has elements of artistic merit with its focus on coffee preparation, it could benefit from better lighting management and compositional adjustments for an overall improvement that might raise the aesthetic quality score.
