A Sign of True Espresso Love

Written by MAS

I’ve probably pulled close to 5,000 shots of espresso at home.  What happened Saturday has never happened before. After finishing my espresso, I picked up the demitasse, looked inside and saw a heart.  Some people see Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich,  I found a heart staring back at me from my empty espresso cup.  This isn’t Coffee Tasseography, which involves reading coffee grounds, but perhaps a sign of true espresso love?

When I mentioned how much I loved Velton’s Bonsai Blend espresso, I had no idea it was a  reciprocal  relationship.  ;)

    Hmm..not sure that I would have identified it as a heart. But just as with clouds, I think you see what you want to see ;)

  2. Before I raced off to grab my camera, I asked the person next to me if she saw anything. The response was ‘heart’.

  3. Velton says:

    I love this! I’m a little envious as the Bonsai Blend has never thrown a heart my way (except in latte form, which just isn’t the same), but I’m still glad to see it throwing some love around out there. ;)

    MAS – maybe she was thinking the same thing as you were. You make it so easy to pick on you.. :)

    Just wondering how much it costs per cup to make expresso juice at home with good coffee and filtered water. How much for a cup of normal coffee with good cofee? Thanks

  6. Espresso varies wildly. Someday I’ll do a post to approximate.

    Regular coffee can be quite cheap. I home roasted some amazing Kenyan and it came to 14 cents a cup.

  7. Ummmm yeah, I suppose it is more clear than the Jesus that someone in upstate New York saw in their coffee cup earlier this year.

    Either way I enjoyed the post and pics. Thanks!
