Friend and fellow eater.

La Colombe, Nolita.

Not a great coffeeshop; the beans are roasted dark, the espresso isn’t distributed, and grouphead isn’t flushed before extraction. The ceramicware is grimy, and the milk isn’t textured well; they give off the overall feeling of being a little bit gritty and a tad haphazard.

They’re a popular micro-chain though, and the interior is nice.

Walking on sunshine, or something like that.

About the only thing I want right now.

“T-Model Train Dreams: Ford’s Gin, cucumber, club soda and Timmy bitters. On ice and full steam for the dream.”

The Steampunk at La Colombe.

The La Colombe in Nolita is one of a handful of coffeeshops in the U.S. to serve coffee using a Steampunk. This much-hyped machine by Alpha Domniche is best described as a mechanized siphon brewer, automating factors like time, temperature, volume, agitation, etc. and taking some of the inconsistencies of siphon brewing.

La Colombe was brewing a Kenyan coffee when I visited, and I wasn’t a fan of the dark roasting profile of the coffee nor the heavy-bodied, sedimenty brew. But it’s not without potential, that’s for sure. Rumor has it that we’re supposed to be getting one of these at Kaffe, so that’ll be something to look forward to…

Long time, no selfie.

Hi, I’m Eunice, and I’m into flannel, cuffed jeans, high-tops, photography, sunlight, and reflections.

All of which are included in this above photo.

Unbelievably beautiful woodwork at Tørst.
