When it’s hot outside and you’ve got an espresso machine then there’s only one thing to do: make affogato! 🍨☕️😋

@pax0707 Delicious! Still affogato, right? It looks like an affogato with more ice cream to me.

@brunodelgado Hope you found a nearby place because it's delicious! 😃

@norro I’m watching a cycling race and I can read the screen perfectly fine. The Vivid app does wonders in bright sun like this.

@ctietze Kind of, yes. It’s a traditional Danish dish called “koldskål” which literally translates to “cold bowl”. It’s a mix of milk, yoghurt, sugar, egg, and vanilla. You then top it with cookies made solely for this dish. They’re incredibly plain but very sweet cookies.

The new iPad Pro is both thinner and lighter than the new iPad Air.

Scriptable made a brief appearance in the Apple event 😄

@eliperkins Yeah, Scriptable would never make an appearance in an Apple video without its best buddy app! 💞

No, the thinnest Apple product ever is the polishing cloth.

(Just catching up on the event now)

@helge Damn, that’s true.

For the first time in years, I won’t be watching an Apple event live, as I’m attending an espresso brewing course in a few hours.

Hoping to avoid any spoilers and watch the event after the course. Hoping I’ll have enough self-control to stay off Mastodon until I’ve watched the event tonight 😄

@ezarowny I think it covers the basics of dialing in, testing differences, and steaming milk. Once I manage all that I might go for a latte art course too.

I've never actually been that much into espressos with milk, but it turns out it tastes much better when you've put the work in to make it yourself 😄

Fully expecting Apple to announce that the Apple Vision Pro is being rolled out in more countries later today. It would make sense to do that before WWDC, especially at an event where they’re rumored to announce an Apple Pencil that works with both the iPad and Apple Vision Pro.

simonbs,

I'm thinking that the introduction of the Apple Vision Pro in more countries is part of the reason Apple wants to gather tech writers outside the US in London after the ‘Let Loose’ Apple event.

My first attempt at making an espresso tonic did not go as planned 🌋

A glass of tonic next to an espresso shot. In the background is an espresso machine. The espresso shot is poured into the glass of tonic causing the mixture to produce foam and flow out of the glass. It looks like a small coffee explosion.

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

The remainder of it still tastes delicious, so that's something, I guess 😄

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

@melonamin That’s a good advise! Thanks! I’ll try that tomorrow.

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

@mths Thanks for the tip! I think I’ll go for the spoon at first to not make the drink too watery. I might go for ice once it’s warmer outside 😊

They should make more hardware with metal toggle switches because this is so satisfying.

Me switching the toggle switch on an espresso machine.

@ctietze Indeed! Several times in the process of choosing my first machine, I made deliberate choices to avoid smart features like that. Like, I knew I didn’t want a machine with a touch interface, which basically ruled out fully automatic machines and the most interesting Breville machines. Also, the La Marzocco Micra wasn’t a possibility because it has Bluetooth.

simonbs,
@simonbs@mastodon.social avatar

@ctietze Maybe. I'm not ready to tear open my brand new machine to mod it. Not really interested in smart features either, honestly. I feel like I have enough tech in my life. It's fine for me to keep espresso brewing fairly low-key, at least for now 😄
