  The rich taste and irresistible aroma of espresso has in recent years won adherents from far beyond the realm of the European-style cafes in which it was first introduced to Americans. Weaving together evocative photographs, poems, and literary musings, Sara Slavin and Karl Petzke have created a unique portfolio of images highlighting the potent presence of espresso as a small but essential luxury in everyday life. Including 24 recipes for espresso drinks and simple dishes made with espresso, this beautiful volume offers a romantic, sumptuous paean to the pleasures of coffee in its purest form.
