Shame you couldn't see it...

and for the ignorant among us (me), what is it? I do notice a freckle included - so it definitely has some value...

A ristretto is the good part of an espresso shot.

An espresso is supposed be the ~30ml.

You make a ristretto by pumping only 15ml through the same amount of coffee.

If done right, it's syrupy black gold.

Thanks Haoran - was expecting Tim to be polite and reply earlier... :P so am glad you did.
