Downtown San Anselmo is only 3 blocks long but there are 5 coffee shops !I wasn't on the bike - my in-laws are in town, and as we were headed to San Anselmo anyway, I pointed out that we should take a slight detour.
There were (at least) five pastries on the table, being shared around. I chose a dark chocolate item that seemed to be a cross between a cookie and a biscotti; you can barely see it in the upper right of the case. On our table was an almond thing and a blackberry thing and some other stuff.
Oh, and a single cap.
What's your coffee today? What brew method? Photos

Bought a stainless steel Passalacqua cuccumella for $35 with free shipping ... paid with paypal ... the receipt shows the vendor as " HONG KONG JIMI " ... Glad I used paypal " just in case " .... However Bialetti is now Chinese owned , so I'm wondering , can these prices for machines be legit : https://www.coffeemakers-store.com/coffee-machines/

G'day all!
Macchiato and a savoiardi biscuit on the side for today.
I’m gazing into the abyss and the abyss gazing back.
Thanks. I went with the 1Zpresso X-Ultra in the end. It landed today and the first thing I did was drop it on the wood floor. Oops the handle slides straight off! Who knew?
The K looked nice too but it was twice the price. I figured the X would be good enough. It’s just for casual home use in the weekend. I’m not trying to compete with the local barista. Ideally I’ll still have some money left to see him once in a while…

It's 54° in Music City right now with a high around 68° today. It looks like we're in for some rain this afternoon. About 6 hours of sleep last night. I woke up with a slight sinus headache but the Alka Seltzer Plus knocked it right out. Another productive session yesterday. I'm off today and tomorrow and back at it on Thursday. I have a lunch date at 11 am but just relaxing at home other than that.
Have a peaceful day, my friends.

Hey, all.
Bad news on the Major's end: he + his CO are back from Aruba. And, sorry, wherever you live, he's pretty sure that Aruba is better. So, there's that. He did the maths, and figured he could move the whole there, including his kids + father-in-law. Yes, you pay out the wazoo for most other things, but it's manageable. So, maybe in the future, he could consider moving there. Plus, given the immigration docs he was able to dredge up from his family's arrival in the US, his entire family qualifies for citizenship in a Schengen Zone EU country, meaning that he could move to Aruba, a constituent island country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, without much difficulty.
Moving on.
But, at the very least, he was able to bring back 12 oz of Kompa Nanzi coffee, which is a way to extend a bit of the memory. In fact, this coffee is better than what the Major drank at the resort, since it tasted either over-roasted or like it sat on a burner for too long. Today, the Major started his day w/a cup o' Kompa Nanzi made in the Keurig, which tasted better than he had every morning.

Americanos. Blend of the bottom of two roasts. A Brazilian and Costa Rican. Very nice.
No photo but a picopresso "pull" of the Tanzania beans from a local roaster. A little water to make my americano and away we go. Thinking of bringing in a little espresso cup to work... but not sure how much use that will get, and space at work is limited. We'll see. Hope everyone doing well.
