Sam Lewontin, Everyman Espresso

How do you take your coffee?
“Almost always black. I've been drinking a lot of filter coffee lately, brewed using either an Aeropress or a Chemex. Drinking filter coffee without additives gives me a chance to delve in to the flavors that make each coffee interesting and distinctive. When I drink coffee with milk, it's almost always as a cortado or a cappuccino. I really enjoy the interplay and balance of well-prepared espresso and milk.”
