Trying out my new latte mug. It works!

Had a sudden urge for classic café style mugs, and found some very affordable ones at wholelattelove.

Got the latte, cappuccino, and espresso sizes, and accompanying saucers. Clearly I had to get the saucers.

This purchase is a bit premature, as I don’t technically have a way to make espresso yet. YET. And all of these drinks are espresso-based. But I chalk all manner of this kind of premature purchasing up to research [it’s not ridiculous, its research] for the future. I would try to find slightly nicer ones for the future, I think, provided have more money in the future, but these are what I expected for the price and completely serviceable. In the meantime, I can put anything in them. Coffee. Tea. Jewelry. Buttons.

into: glassware, varietals and usage

I am into glassware. [Concurrently, I am into drinking.] I would say I am on the path to being deeply into glassware. If I did not break so many glasses, I would own a fair amount of glassware, and even so…

Here is an excellent guide to matching your beverage to the ‘correct’ glass type, by The Boys Club. I don’t follow such guides to the letter by any means, but I like to be aware of them and to understand the principles behind them. And this particular chart reminds me of some species overview chart of biological varietals…have always had a weakness for such charts (a couple of clicks will take you to a full screen view). And I appreciate even the flimsiest excuse to get more glasses.
