Having worked in Europe and getting addicted to expresso when I returned to the states the coffee tasted like water so I put gobs of Folgers Crystals Instant in the cup until I could come down from the expresso high. About 10 years ago I tried a cup of expresso and I thought my heart would explode.

Just be sure to drive in the Expresso Lane!

Vintage Vaculator
"...short little video here showing coffee being made in an old vintage vaculator coffee maker on his vintage Chambers gas stove. The vaculator dates back from the 1930's, and the stove is from 1950! That stove still looks and works great. The ONLY thing that has quit working on it is the clock timer! A stove that is 61 years old and has ONLY that one little item not working. What better quality could one ask for"? (NOT my video)

That was mesmerizing to watch with the Duke of Earl :laugh:.
Loved the vintage chambers stove too! Good job with the video! Maybe it'll go viral!

Department of Coffee (DoC)
Khayelitsha, a township about 30km from central Cape Town, is one of the underprivileged areas in the Western Cape. The residents of this area often have to travel long distances to access some of the services they need. Up until 2012, even enjoying a well prepared cup of coffee in a warm and friendly aromatic coffee shop was a rare luxury for the people of Khayelitsha.
This was before Department of Coffee (DoC), Khayelitsha’s first coffee shop came into being. Department of Coffee was opened in July 2012 by a group of entrepreneurs Vuyile Msaku, Vusumzi Mamile and Wongama. The plan for a coffee shop was born from the desire to do something no-one else was doing. Businesses such as barber shops, laundries and car washes are highly competitive in Khayelitsha.
Located close to the Khayelitsha train station and therefore targeting the thousands of commuters passing by every day, DoC serves quality creations at remarkably low prices. Alongside filter coffee for R6.50 they serve a medley of espresso-based options, including steaming lattes, foamy cappuccinos, macchiatos, chococinos and iced ‘freezeeccinos’, none of which exceed R10. Furthermore, each of their beverages is made from their own brand of Arabica-Italian coffee beans, which are roasted locally especially for DoC. In addition to the refreshing coffee, their customers also enjoy beautiful, often quirky, instances of latte art such as faces, angels, rosettas, bears and more.

I would just love to go to the Truth coffees shop in Capetown!
I read about it online just before looking at the videos and the food looks spectacular as well.
The steam punk decor is fun.
This looks to be a wonderful place, Meanderer and thanks for bringing us here!!! I'll even pick up the check if you leave the tip.

That looks like suicide for a coffee loving TYPE II like me.Cookie Cup. A shortbread cup coated with a special sugar glaze that lets it withstand the high temperature of coffee.
