Especially the Espuma No. 2
Espuma: a weekly curated collection of coffee & chocolate themed articles, items & thoughts.
Espuma means “froth” or “foam” in Spanish. Froth: what makes a cappuccino so delicious. The proverbial icing to the cake, the sugary froth to the dalgona coffee, the sweet whipped cream to the dark chocolate mousse. And even, the whitecap to the Mediterranean ocean wave. In coffee and in life, espuma brings a little bit more effortless, airy lightness. Espuma: a weekly curated collection of coffee & chocolate themed articles, items and thoughts. Join us here every Friday.
