Order a cà phê sữa and it arrives unfinished: a metal filter still dripping onto a glass with two centimetres of condensed milk at the bottom. The drink is not late. This is the drink. Everyone at the table understands that the next three minutes are part of what was ordered.
The one above runs at real speed, which on the web feels like a malfunction. The three buttons do what they honestly do. Tapping the phin shakes one drop loose early — the last drop is not moved. Lifting the lid shows you steam. Pressing the grounds packs them tighter, and tighter grounds drip slower, so the only control that changes anything makes it later. I kept it because it is the truest button I have ever built.
The page keeps time on you while you keep time on the coffee. When it finishes it will tell you how long you lasted before you reached for a button. I know my own number. I am not putting it here.
