@stefan.chirila I donāt drink COFFEE! Any chance you could take a few more shots for focus stacking? Would like to see more of this apparatus: what would you call it?

It looks like Turkish coffee, and apparatus should be a kind of cezve. In Bosnia, it is called džezva. In Greece, the coffee is called Greek coffee, of course.
I love coffee! Italian expresso of courseā¦
My take: Luminance HDR 2.5.1, ferradans11, pregamma = 0.5, rho = 2.8, inverse alpha= 6.9, white balance

donāt have more shots as of now, but can check in the folder. the name is briki (Greek), ibric (Romanian) and other names as below.
I make Turkish coffee (or my version thereof) with it. Itās too bad you donāt like coffee, it makes awesome coffee.
Recipe: maple syrup at bottom, fill with distilled water but leave a bit of room, then pour very finely ground coffee on top of the water, and set on medium-high heat. Once the water sucks in the coffee, lift in order to avoid volcano-like eruption 
then repeat the near-boil for a total of 3 times. Then I let it sit for some 2-3min then pour avoiding the grinds that collected at the bottom.

@elGordo as a fellow caffeine lover, you may appreciate this one as well:
I was chatting with some of my fellow coworkers from India, having heard that āspiced milk teaā was a popular street treat in India, and after some conversation, recipe swapping and some improvising I have come up with a recipe which is rather lovely.
Now, hereās a disclaimer I am not 100% on what they told me to do, but here is what worked for me eventually. I use an average kitchen pot (will post pictures if requested - size doesnāt matter), in which I throw some 4-5 pieces of cloves, optionally one piece of Cardamom, some 5-7 thin slices of ginger, a half-handful of pepper corns (green ones, or black ones is what I had at times). To these I add, 1/4 table spoon of raw honey, and 3x 3/4 table spoon of maple syrup (what this means, in plain English is, 1 table spoon and 1/4 table spoon 
donāt ask).
Now, the tea is brewed in water, so to this mix you add 1 and a half cups of distilled water. I am using an oversized IKEA espresso cup, which I think is 3oz? (image below) So please, consider this is the kind of cup I use from here on.
You bring this broth to a boil, make it bubble, then move off the heat. When the bubbles are gone, add the tea, and leave it in there, with a lid on for 3minutes. Tea amount: 6 tea spoons of various mixes, mostly black tea (I prefer Russian Samovar, some Assam, and perhaps one Oolong for variety).
Once the 3 minutes of steeping are over, add 2 and a half of the same cup worth of whole milk to it all, and put it back on full heat. Stir for a while, youāll figure out for how long, after a few tries, until the tea broth and milk have mixed well. Leave sitting under lid, off heat, for at least 3min for further mixing. Enjoy.
You may need a strainer

@elGordo let me know how it turns out. The fresher the ground coffee the better, also aim for lighter roasts, since the procedure makes it strong to begin with.
Looks yummy!
Iāll see if I can find some quiet time a little later to play also!
ps: Would you mind attaching a license to it for us, please?
@stefan.chirila I like your spiced milk tea photo. It has a lot of character and is very inviting. I do enjoy a cup of tea once in a while, so I will try your second recipe, but without the milk (severe allergy). Where do you purchase your ingredients BTW?
@afre the picture with the cup is actually of turkish coffee, but it is the cup I drink the tea with also.
I buy the teas from this place in town called Distinctly tea. Not sure if theyāre a chain or if they deliver. http://shop.distinctlytea.com/
Hi there,
this is my try. My eye was irritated by the light spot on the upper right. So I tried to get rid of it using darktableā¦
Thanks for the raw !
