Coffee drinking is a global ritual that people participate in according to their own taste: some love a drip-brewed cup, while others prefer a pour-over or a French press; some like their coffee with milk or sugar or spices; some drink it from a large mug and some from a tiny cup. We love espresso's hazelnut-colored cream, its reddish reflections and light streaks, and its intense aroma — served in a small cup made of Italian fine porcelain, of course.
