Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 4:5 portrait, screen-print-inspired flat colours and broad, slightly uneven marker outlines. Close side view of espresso extraction: an oversized bottomless portafilter locks into a small cropped portion of an espresso machine entering from the upper left. Its absurdly long, narrow handle stretches diagonally toward the upper right. One uninterrupted dark coffee stream falls from the basket into a tiny, comically squat terracotta cup below, slightly left of centre, with a simple ochre crema oval. Warm cream background, roasted-coffee brown outlines, muted teal machine, terracotta and ochre accents. Slight ink misregistration, sparse marker streaks, no intricate mechanics or shading. The stream is clearly visible against empty cream space. Generous breathing room at lower right. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
