The shot
Eighteen grams, a thin thread.
Slow and steady from both spouts. If it gushes the grind is too coarse, if it drips it is too fine.
Small-batch coffee, roasted every Tuesday
Pulled slow, poured by hand.
Our house flat white, from the first drop to the last curl of steam. Scroll down and watch it fill.

The crema
Tiger stripes on top.
The oils rise into a hazelnut foam. The last drops fall and the machine goes quiet.
The pour
Milk under, not over.
Start high, so the milk dives beneath the crema and lifts the colour from below.
The leaf
Rock the jug, pull it through.
Drop close, rock side to side as you drift back, then lift and draw one line down the middle. A rosetta.
The steam
Drink it while it curls.
Warm enough to taste the sweetness, never scalding. Scroll back up and the cup empties again.
