It's been roughly 2 years since I reluctantly abandoned one of my last remaining and marginally socially acceptable vices for a longer lease on life (and whiter teeth). Not to be confused with my 13 year relationship with Philip Morris, my deliberate and ceaseless infatuation (read: addiction) with coffee, in all its strengths, origins, and preparations, shows no signs of waning. Department of the 4th Dimension, in cooperation with Intelligentsia, has released a visual love letter of sorts: an ongoing short film series "documenting [their] search for the ultimate tastemakers." Feast your eyes on Part One: Espresso and Part Two: Syphon here and check back with Dpt. 4D's site for the upcoming Part Three: Cappuccino.
