Ring and slurp: a latte in a ceramic cup, slowed down

Listen for

A latte, a ceramic cup and its saucer. One sip, and back down. Here it is three times: as it happened, then slowed two times, then three.

  • Mastered audio: best on headphones or a good sound system.
  • Recorded at Coava Coffee Roasters on SE Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland.
  • Their order: a latte.
  • Watch the full-length video on YouTube.
