Currently sipping coffee from Costa Rica, served with hot milk.
I've started, out of boredom and a fluke acquisition of a soy milk maker, making soy milk. I alternate my caffe lattes with soy milk or the usual cows milk. I don't add sugar when using milk, but I dissolve a bit of brown sugar in the soy milk.
It really should be called soaked-pulped-heated-soy-extract, as it's not milk, but that's what everyone else calls it. Well, apart from officially in the EU. Almond milk? Sure, great, have at it. Soy milk? Noooo! People might confuse soy beans with cows! You have to call it soya drink.
(I actually make 豆浆 rather than 豆奶 for those who care about these things.)

Simply gorgeous: Actually, I must confess that I have been reading articles (and blogs) which compare and contrast the Single Slayer Group Espresso with the La Marzocco GS3.
Sipping an Ethiopian coffee ("natural" processed), with organic, full fat, hot milk, and a dash of organic cream.
Yes, we can dream, can't we? The Slayer makes the GS3 look like an absolute bargain! To be fair, I think both machines are primarily targeted at commercial applications; either would be perfect for a small, upscale cafe or restaurant seeking to make a "statement" with a gorgeous piece of industrial art front-and-center on the counter. I also like the LaM Linea Mini--another beauty at a slightly less stratospheric price. Dream on...
Ah, the La Larzocco Linea Mini, yes, now, we are talking......another one of my dream machines.
new supply of coffee arrived yesterday evening......so today's morning coffee was Ethiopian
That is always a cause for celebration, especially if Ethiopian coffee can be counted aong the new arrivals.
Do enjoy.
The Ethiopian was indeed among yesterday's arrivals.......I ground some of the beans this morning and had some to start the day
I did indeed enjoy it.
It's a bit more of an earthy flavor than some of the other coffee I've been drinking recently. I suspect I'll be ordering again in the future.
Enjoying a Sunday afternoon coffee: A blend of coffees (of my own devising) from Costa Rica and El Salvador, served with organic hot milk.
Cold outside; a coffee from El Salvador (served with organic hot milk) is going down very well.
