Saw this at Lotte mart today, I kind of like it. But I’m not sure I like how narrow the glass is compared to the size and design of the base — creates a little disproportionality that I don’t like. I wonder if there’s a better example of the concept? Maybe if the glass part widened to be the same size as the base…

How much sugar is in the stuff you’re eating? Kind of gross.

Caffe Artigiano (카페아띠지아노)

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Caffe Artigiano in Korea has a new location near Gwanghwamun  subway station on Line 5 (광화문역). Take exit 7 and head West (I think that’s a left). The tiny, unassuming espresso bar is a minute or two walking distance.

The space is dominated by a huge four group espresso machine. They have a grinder that automatically doses and tamps, which seems to ensure shot quality. Haven’t tried any milk drinks yet.  Sadly they only have paper cups, no demitasses for espresso. This is a tiny space for grabbing a drink to go, not for lounging.

See my post about their Gosok Terminal cafe here.
