Coffee Break

Espresso and siphon-brewed coffee in the late afternoon at Caffe d'Bolla. No mere quick fix caffeination. More like hard core education. The lowdown on beans, roast and brew to come. In the meantime, behold the leftover crema.

A Natural Upper

Mint that takes care of itself is also a nice mid-afternoon distraction. Especially when you're unbearably drowsy. Ancient Greeks thought rosemary could help their mental abilities and wore sprigs behind their ears. I'm not saying whether or not I'm currently wearing an herb.

Feast at Franco's

Francis sharing some his grappa with Cristiano Creminelli. This along with the previous image proved that the impromptu, unexpected party is the best.
