May 9, 2014: Are you a Coffee or a Tea person?!
So, let's have it folks! Are you a Coffee or Tea person?! Or are you like a Reverso: flipping both sides...? HAGWE, everybody! Blomman...
More Tea than Coffee...
But I have nothing against a good coffee... If you see what I mean... ;) HAGWE. Nicolas ...
I see what you mean, Nicolas! :)
And you are correct - why choose when you can have both! ;) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
That pic with the AP.. Is one of my 3 Favs of your coffee-pics !.. ;)
this one with the shiny AP, with reflections from the cup is jyst superb ! .. the other remaining two are : - the red Reverso with the red handle of the cup - and (my personal Kudos from these three goes to) the Vintage Reverso/central second in Puazza S....
I'll forgive you that :)
because that coffee cup AP RO Jumbo series C :) shot is so good that it hurts Best my friend
Stunning!
Definately only coffee for me please. However when it comes to watches I am open to other colors than just coffee ;) Beautiful original Reverso you have there. My reverso says hello to yours! They were probably born around the same time. best Edmond ...
Ask him to change the balance of the white.
When you take pictures in the dark, they turn too yellow... Best, Nicolas
Nice one! :)
Thank you, Edmond - Yours looks great! :) I would say that mine is a couple of years older due to the JLC/sub second on yours. Mine is the first generation, Tavannes movement inside. Best Blomman
Interesting
I learn something new everyday. So the very early reverso had only reverso written. The second generation carried the JLC signature or just Le Coultre? Thank you! Best Edmond
Tea or coffee?
Well, actually, BOTH! I replaced the word "or" with "and" and like what happens!! To be fair, I enjoy coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon. Sumatran coffee ... for choice, and yes, I heve become a little picky! On tea, I love Oolong. But then, n...
A Hell of a Trio, my friend. Wow. I totally share the same madness for chocolate.
And not only chocolate dials, if you know what I mean... ;) Best, Joe. Nicolas
OK, now I have cravings for dark chocolate! ;)
What a trio, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman
Black and white...
(...or green, for that matter. :) The third small cup of coffee already this morning... HAGWE! S. ...
Nice shot, Alain !.. Like how the colors of the tabs accentuate vs the watch.. :)
.. What do they make G Clooney say: " Nespresso... What else ?.. " Best for your WE ! hs
A delightful 'shot' -
- both coffee and watch. Love the case shape, dial and hands on the Longines. Andrew
Wow! What a beautiful photo! :)
Love the mood in your pic! And the watch ain't bad either... :) HAGWE Blomman
Coffee is the obsession
But tea is a beverage to fill in the in-between moments. Like mechanical horology to savour versus quartz time displays all around me. Matching crema ... ...
The dial is mine but ...
... I can't claim the rosetta. Snap taken in a cafe. But who could resist the combination of that YG dial and crema? Yours in coffee heaven / madness, Andrew
Like Jim Jarmusch flick
Coffee & Cigarettes Sometimes coffee and ice tea ;) sometimes even without coffee :) :) and sometimes life throws in olives & peanuts :) Tea only when I'm ill and then with Rum :) HAGWE all ...
Coffe & cigars matching made in heaven :)
It is one of best complementing flavors Perfect replenishment of tastes It works great with hot cocoa & chocolate as well Of course would it be coffee, cocoa or chocolate with cigar depends on the blend of Havana chosen for occasion.... Yummmm I'll ha...
Live it up
together is the best way around Thank you dear friend for kind observations Cordially yours Damjan
I like tea like I like watches
which is to say, to excess! Cazalea Coffee - not for me. ...
How long do ...
... the dried tea leaves last, Mike? Any special storage conditions required? Great photo. Andrew
They last for years
Kept in a cool dry place. The tea I most often drink comes vacuum sealed in 50, 100 or 500g packets, straight from a trader in Darjeeling. Once the packets are opened, I keep the tea in the metal tins you see here, which have fairly good o-ring seals. Tho...
Are there vintage teas?
Perhaps this is for a broader discussion on TimeOut, but is there a single tea crop each year and are there discernible vintage differences? Or perhaps growing conditions do not have such a dramatic effect as they do on grapes for wine? And does the age o...
Really like this shot: multiple kinds of tea vs multiple kinds of tic-tacs..
.. A great selection of both, it appears.. Best, hs
Purists
A coffee purist would balk at Starbucks, but this is the Pike Place Special Reserve blend, only available for purchase at the original store in Seattle. Warmest, Dean ...
Never had it...
But if I ever go to Seattle, I will make sure to try! :) HAGWE Blomman
I don't drink tea or coffee.....
But I love watches and clothes coordinated Had this combo today. Thought the colors came out good Hagwe all Joe ...
Colours match beutifully, but how does the anatomy go?
Hi Joe, as a doctor (:-)) I was wondering how to figure out your anatomy. On the left side of your photograph I can spot the cuff of your shirt and your watch - so it should be your left hand that is displayed. But where does the fabric on the right side ...
Looks like a tie..
placed over top of palm of the hand so right hand is free to take shots but effect is cool as it looks like you don't have anything to press the shutter with except maybe nose or tongue :) Cheers D
It was quite a trick
Considering I was in the car and the traffic line was infinite. I humored myself with my watch. The lighting was really good. I just placed my tie over my left hand. I really wanted to add the cuff links too, but that required another hand! Your message t...
Thanks for the explanation!
By the way, your Voutilainen is a great watch :-) anaesdoc
Serious about coffee...
Start with the chrome peacock, La Pavoni Europiccola grind with the Zassenhaus... tamp and extract manually... and hopefully a beautiful espresso arrives (the beans are key). HAGWE! ...
You are truly serious about coffee!
Nice, truly nice. Thanks for sharing and making me thirsty! S.
Wonderful espresso maker
Love the LaPavoni. Lever machines are the best way to control every aspect of the preinfusion and extraction. I used a LaPavoni Professional for many years but mostly use the ECM Giotto for consistency these days. But there was nothing like pulling that f...
Sometimes I think ...
... I am not Purist enough! And your post highlighted that again. The lever machines are the best way to feast with the coffee gods. You have control over everything (grind, tamp and extraction including preinfusion, pressure and time) and there is only y...
As in high end HiFi, it is a very personal pursuit
And the machines are a part of that. Thermo-mechanically precise and form often follows function. Just as we like with watches. Andrew

Your shiny chrome machinery almost makes me want to drink coffee
it reminds me of a car I saw recently! (You've gotta love low-riders.) Chrome i's very very cool. Thanks for sharing about those Italian magical machines. Cazalea ...
A '61 hybrid? . . .
. . . geez, that's rarer than the '63 split-window 'Vette I saw a few hours ago!
