Good espresso shots and smooth milk contribute 90%, and your technique is 10%, I think.

Neighborhood 3

Near the elementary school, at the end of my favorite street is an Amtrak station.



Amtrak is a long-distance train running all over the continental US. Many of its metropolitan stations have several platforms and are crowded. But in small towns, Amtrak is not an everyday-thing for many people. This station in Snappy's town is not even attended, just with a train schedule board and a ticket machine.

Neighborhood 1

I love to drive through this street on the way to and from Snappy's.


The grayish bar very back of the street is a BART track of which the station is near by. It takes about 30 minutes BART ride to get to San Francisco downtown.

eOn Coffee, Hayward California

Writing this blog entry at eOn Coffee a few miles from my house.

I like this place because:
1. They roast their own beans, and drink is delish!
2. Store is always kept clean and organized.
3. Workers are very polite.

I ordered Extra Fancy Kona drip, this month's special. It was whopping $3.75 for 12oz (compared to regular drip $1.65 and latte $3.00 in same size) but was worth it. The balance between its acidity and bitterness was very good, and caffeine level must be high. I only needed one cup to fill slight jitter (and I drink A LOT of coffee.)
