A couple weeks ago a former colleague of mine who had previously introduced me to the moka pot for brewing coffee sent me am image of a new coffee beverage he had discovered and instructions on how to make it.  Basically an egg yolk and one or two teaspoons of sugar whipped into a foam then pour your espresso (or moka) into it.  I have no idea what it's called but it's delicious.   I just got a few duck eggs from a friend the other day so I might just try it with one of those and make a double

Sounds yummy.
I got the best results from cold brewed concentrates, my goto summer coffee method. It's a different level, not comparable to bitter steam or hot water brews.
But you need to have very good water and also good coffee, which needs to be ground at the most rough grain your coffee grinder offers.
I tried it once with ground filter coffee (Illy, though) off the can (they are sold in 250g cans), and i had to pour it away because the bad taste cut even through high amounts of milk.

And that seems so strange to me. I don't know what it is (EDIT: what made Starbucks so successful), but from all Starbucks i went to in the US and Europe, i was never excited by the taste of it.
Even at my mothers house, she's a Nespresso user, i choose almost every unfavored coffee over Starbucks', but only if there are no more Illy capsules left.
I also tell her constantly: If you want me to visit you, make sure you have the caps by Illy at home.  

Lots of people are over Starbucks here. They're basically a 'lifestyle' brand. Largely about walking through the office with a paper cup that advertises you can afford overpriced coffees.

I decided I wanted coffee-shop level cappuccinos so bought a superauto (technically a birthday/christmas present). Well worth it and paid for itself over pods within 18 months.

Buddy did better than 95.2

Will he then do better than 95.4?

I truly believe that a time will come when every country or every household, like El Salvador, will educate their boys and girls about Bitcoin transactions and the actual use of Bitcoin. for a country and a society to develop, the quality of life of the people of the country must first be improved, otherwise it will never be possible to develop or change a country or a society. we need to gain knowledge in accordance with the digital and technological era and improve our quality of life through digital investment. we all need to gain sufficient knowledge about the use and investment of Bitcoin and buy Bitcoin with a long-term plan and patiently save it for the future. It is time for us to walk together for the development of society and the country. Let us all collect and save Bitcoin because this is the key to the economic liberation of the future.

El Salvador is ahead in the Bitcoin game. They will definitely be heading towards a good future.

I didn't point out the fact that "italian" roasts are based off mainly brazilian, african and asian raw, sundried coffee beans.
There is no such thing as "italian coffee", because it is typically not grown in Italy (though yes, in very minor quantities in the south), but the roast is what makes that special blend off the import beans.

Italian coffee has to do the way of preparing and consuming it: Moka at home, and espresso outside.
There are then hundreds of variations, even abomination like “American coffee” now that we have Starbucks in Italy as well.

Starbucks? Yuck.

All they sell is over-roasted garbage beans. They don't sell light or medium-roasted gourmet coffees. Over-roasting destroys most of the subtle flavors of fine coffee so you can't tell what the original beans were.

A good blend of high- and low-acid coffees usually makes the best blend. This is why one of the oldest international blends, Mocha-Java, is still such a favorite. A high quality single-source coffee like Jamaican Blue Mountain can be outstanding but the price can be prohibitive. I had the pleasure a half century ago of spending a couple of nights at Whitfield Hall, the last coffee plantation on the trail up to Blue Mountain Peak. They hand roasted a kilo of beans to medium-dark and ground and brewed them for us while they were still hot from the roasting pan. Ecstasy, despite the beans not being aged.

Good water is imperative. There's also nothing wrong with including a few over-roasted beans before you grind if you like that almost burned dark-roast flavor but make most of the beans full city roast or lighter to retain some flavor. That second crack is a flavor killer.

Preparation is important too, but there are many valid methods. Cowboy coffee can be just as good or even better than well-made espresso or french press coffee. Paper filters or cheap home espresso makers just don't cut it. Just avoid overheating the water.

Raw egg? Hot coffee won't cook that. It's no Kopi Luwak but I probably would not drink it

1 yolk may get warm enough in a large very hot cup coffee.

Years ago I would make 1 cup of milk 1 raw egg and some powder cocoa blend it and drink it.

Never got sick say 1970 to 1972 or 13 to 15 years old.

It was a very fast breakfast.

I decided I wanted coffee-shop level cappuccinos so bought a superauto (technically a birthday/christmas present). Well worth it and paid for itself over pods within 18 months.

Automatics are midrange, quality wise. Rarely a bad choice, overall, but i would never drink a mocca (moka) made by one.
The true values of autos lie in the quality of the grinder, cleanability and built-in descaling program (use only lactic acid, 50-60%). Some brands (sorry, Saeco/Philips) are a nightmare when it comes to spillage, amount and quality of manual cleaning needed to keep the thing mold-free. And that's the no1 priority when it comes to automatics.

I use a DeLonghi auto, it's terribly easy to be kept clean, compared to most other designs i saw or used in the past. If you use it often and you don't want to get mold in the system, you clean it with after a few couple of complete water refillings. In my case, every two to four weeks (as you might already know: i'm forgetful a bit). We have very soft water, so descaling is done every few months, which is quite rare.

I use this only for Latte, because it has a steam valve for foam and the coffee comes out OK. Nothing special, but good temp and taste is not to worry about. Just that nutty edge, that acid sparkle and bodily boldness isn't really there, compared to cooked, cold brew, or professional, more manual espresso machine made espresso.

When i want to get a quiclstart and i have already eaten a meal that day, a bialetti-made double espresso, stretched with a shot of cold water, in a thin, small cup. No sugar. It kills the taste.

EDIT: Got lost, prematurely posted the above. As for Starbucks:
"Starbucks" was the title of a fun movie about a dude and a sperm bank, which realized (what?!) about a hundred offsprings. It's somehow obvious what the meaning of "Starbucks" is in the scope of this movie
So whenever i see, hear or think the term "Starbucks", i have to think about that movie during a flick of a second.
Not quite a reason to drink their coffee, especially when i know i don't like the taste, is it?

Back to $95,000.

Bears in disbelief, shorts getting destroyed. All the macro uncertainty caused by tariffs perhaps getting priced in.

April monthly candle now looking nice. We were literally at $74,000 a couple of weeks ago. We are up $20,000 from the bottom.

Good chance we start pumping properly soon, $150,000 - $200,000 in play. Let’s get it boys!
