Trends Reviews and Recaps

I’m glad I gave up coffee. I would hate to have turned out like these people:

Madeleine Page, a psychotherapist from Philadelphia, wanted to talk about reassembling her secondhand commercial Cimbali, which she has stripped down to its parts. The effort, she said, will be worth it: “I couldn’t find a good latte.” . . .

“We’re in constant pursuit of perfection,” said Fortune Elkins, a Web designer from Brooklyn, who pulled espresso shots at Dallis’s $7,000 Faema machine. . . . “Coffee has 800 to 1,200 flavor components,” she said. “Also because wine isn’t cooked or prepared, that adds components. It’s an entire process.”

It’s a beverage, people. Not a lifestyle.
