From the original post

The photo note

Started off the morning with a freshly brewed cup of #espresso (triple shot)! #thehermitage #hongkong

Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

A dark, finely striped cup and matching saucer sit beside a window, with a golden layer across the coffee and Hong Kong buildings beyond. The close-up makes the cup the subject of the frame.

Roger identifies the drink as freshly brewed triple-shot espresso. Flickr labels the photograph taken on October 17, 2013 and uploaded on October 18, 2013. The archive uses the photo-taken date; no separate consumption or venue-visit date is established. The caption does not establish a café or a rating.
