The Eye of Espresso

Each morning, I start my day with a small cup of fresh-pressed espresso made at home.

I find this particular apparatus, purchased from an antique store in Hudson NY, serves as a perfect mood up-lifter for its mesmerizing design and unique colors, to serve it in.

The combination of the two enhances the consumption experience, and I wanted to capture that in this photograph which was taken by myself (not AI-generated).
