. . . true Purist! Tea sipped as it was meant to be savored . . .

.. almost like in a "film noir", out of the shadows of mystery !.. Enjoy your WE ! Best, hs

I especially like the first one! :) HAGWE Blomman

Although I do not mind a very milky and very light coffee which most coffee addicts will not be willing to call coffee at all, I have been socialized with tea. Not necessarily at 5 o´clock, but in the morning and in the afternoon. If accompanied by a bisc...  

I prefer the sweet over the metal taste :-). Take care anaesdoc

.. have a very nice WE ! Best, hs

You are a coffee person, right?! ;) HAGWE Blomman

strong without sugar. a similar colour to this ...  

. . . as I've never heard of it before, Graham. Every so often, I'll prepare a batch of sun tea. Iced may not be popular anywhere else, but here in the States, my take is that most tea is consumed cold.

ah builders tea is a tea bag in a mug. hot water, milk. stir it around until its the right colour and bingo, a mug of tea. G

is what a guy like this drinks while he is billing you to make a car like this one that can get dirty as this after which you need another cup. If you like the tea the color of my car, you ask the server (your mate) for "white" tea ...  

Without milk? If so, I am in! :) HAGWE Blomman

Although I do require a number of cups of coffee throughout the day, I must say I do have a penchant for relaxing with some Chinese tea. Some of my collection of tea pots from artisans around China and Japan. Warmest, Dean ...  

And watch! :) HAGWE Blomman

.. these are indeed pieces of art ; if a small Q may be allowed : - are they from different places and/ or different times ? A very nice series, and I really enjoyed the pictures ! - as well as the cherry on the cake, this fine IWC ! Best, hs

Yes, each one was acquired in the region the artist works, but to be honest, I do not know enough about them to fully appreciate why one would cost thousands of dollars and why another similar pot would cost a couple of hundred. I kind of cheat when I go ... 

.. mirror of human culture and a very traditional drink, to really enjoy.. Thanks again for your nice share, Best, hs

I love them all. I don't, however, know enough about tea pots to fully appreciate what you have, but the shapes are very organic and varied. You should do a tea pot post on TimeOut, teach us a bit and perhaps draw out some other tea pot collectors. Andrew... 

Thank you Andrew. I would love to do another post on tea pots, but I do not think of myself as a collector, and my knowledge is tiny. All I know is that in the tiny shops around China/Japan, when I asked them to show me their absolute best tea pot, these ... 

... passion is fit for PuristS. It might be a collection, or a skill (like coffee making, pertinent to this thread), but the passion and enthusiasm always shines through. Even if it is something like Tibetan Tsaklis (which after Googling I know 100% more ... 

What a great series of photos! Mike

Coffee ! I obviously appreciate many teas in the afternoon but I feel the elation of our passion for watches deserves something more intense, to me, nothing can beat the intense and delicate flavor of an Italian ristretto with watches some picks and a vie...  

as perfect shot of ristretto. In my neck of woods perfect ristretto is very hard to cum by Last epic one was in Segafredo am Graben (Wien) Great shots as always dear Laurent Sincerely yours Damjan

This Anniversary, my friend... Wow! Best, Nicolas

Stunning lineup! HAGWE Blomman

.. with their nice corresponding color- effects, but also the splendid watches thereby: My personal fav is your Lange in the 3rd pic, but also all your others are nice "candies" Best, hs -

But I do try to appreciate tea as well. When I am honest; for me a glass of hot water will do to. HAGWE guys! GEO ...  

.. and the watch is just there, onobtrusive but present ! Very nice setting ! Best, hs

. . . the quietest moments . . ." Coffee . . . . . . and Karrée . . . ...  

And even more the black dialed one! Best, Nicolas

. . . of the light? :-) ...  

. . . those images were taken a few minutes apart from slightly different perspectives. The silver 'n black Karrée . . . . . . is a whole 'nother animal . . . ...  

.. and that shot is indeed splendid ! The sea, the moiré background , the cup and this splendid tic-tac "tone-in-tone".. - Guess, it rarely can get better than this !! Thanks for that share !.. Stimulating ! Best, hs

. . . there was no processing whatsoever, not even cropping - that image is right off the camera. Evening light and a Pacific background help, no doubt.

And the answer is COFFEE!!!! ...  

But her sexiest is the TT1931... ...  

. . . at this very moment, Jed. Drip style, Kenyan peaberry combined with two Costa Rican varieties in equal measure . . .

Great lineup - both coffee and watches! :) HAGWE Blomman

I make two latte's a day -- one for myself and one for Mrs. CJ. Some days' art is better than others'! Best, CaliforniaJed

I can see the passion in the coffee as well as the watches. You need to pour some hearts as well to show the love. :-) Andrew

...  

and watches too, Jed.

Good company.. JLC 2643/2 aka ' Shark' Jaeger Vintage Chrono..the cup is empty already.. Nothing beats Sacher Torte & Cappucchino.. With TTP :) Or do you want your Coffee with black blue ' Bruiser' - GMT Hope you liked at least some of the...  

. . . and sipping freshly ground drip coffee at this very moment, h. And yes, I had some fresh pineapple, too, for a complete and healthy breakfast ;-) . . . ...  

Hi Art, I did not expect "our" German Ritter Sport chocolate to be available in California. The marzipan is one of my all-time favourites from Ritter Sport :-). Kind regards anaesdoc

. . . and so is Schluckwerde marzipan. German beer, too . . . Franziskaner makes an appearance in my fridge every so often.

in fridge as I see it is weisswurst ;)

You are using same choco coffee combo for healthy breakfast as I do :) These synchronicities are too scary... Most cordially dear Art

. . . the only two purpleheart cues with leadwood wraps in the whole wide world ;-) . . .

.. The AP nicely blends in ! Best & HAGWE, hs

I used to be a diehard fan of Faema's (I've had an E87 automatic machine, and still have a 2 group Faema Urania (completely rebuilt in the 90s) taking up space because, and then I got this... it did it for me ! :)

Preferably black ... preferably Nespresso (but certainly not the black ristretto capsules ... :-) But mostly a homemade brew ... HAGWE fellas ! Bim ...

That is one of my favorite! :) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
