: : Making Espresso : :

After having dinner at The Junk, 3 cousins and a gf went to have some homemade espressos.

Right. The necessary equipment to make espressos.

Yen : He got a posh looking one.

Ming : Bought it from Boots.

Then, of course, we have to have some coffee powder.

Put the strainer into the holder in the picture above before putting in the coffee powder.

Now put the holder into the bottom pot : shown on right hand side of the picture. BTW, those are Hui Ling’s beautiful and slender fingers.

Add hot water into the bottom pot.

Put the coffee pot on top of the bottom pot. Then put it on a stove on a slow fire. The coffee will start to come out of a thin tube within the coffee pot.

This is the little tube seen from the inside. The coffee starts to come out from the top and into the coffee pot. And, that is how one makes espressor the old-fashioned way.

I can still smell the coffee.

Yen : I used that cup to feed the dog.

He was kidding. Of course.
