My special tuning of the Gaggia Classic.

A homemade thyristor power controller. I use it to regulate the compressor power, and therefore the pressure.

Tanzanian Coffee, Go Home

I bought a kilo of green Tanzanian coffee in Slovakia and went to Tanzania — I actually brought the coffee home with me there. I spent a few months among the Maasai, and we roasted the coffee together, even though they live about 150 km from the place where this coffee is grown they have absolutely no idea about it.

The Maasai Sikuku celebration.

They really do jump unbelievably high. Maybe from the sheer joy of having roasted beef for lunch.

Maasai punk — face and body painting

Before the Sikuku ceremony in the Tanzanian bush, Maasai men and women disappear from the main gathering to get painted with red clay. An experienced hand handles the intricate face patterns while they coat their own neck and body. The elders skip this part entirely.
