"aesthetic" home espresso videos walk the perfect line between ragebait and fiddly gadgetcore virality. someone making an intentionally stupid drink with 200 thousand comments half of them are like "omg 😍" and the other are grip-snapping pencils every time there's a new step in the process
i hate them for a whole other reason and it's because making espresso is a disgusting and inherently messy process and anything portraying it as a tidy, puzzley little bit of zen is malicious
none of these videos ever show you just how many espresso grounds are gonna end up on yr countertops, jfc
having said that i did just achieve some perfect goddamn microfoam this morning
for a latte that i'm drinking with breakfast. which is yesterday's cold leftover pizza. it's about balance, y'know
