Pulled Shots, Heavy Sleeves

Inside a warm, nearly empty independent café on a slow winter afternoon, a massively built barista stands at the espresso machine, focused and unhurried. Light snow drifts outside the large picture window, softening the street into pale grays and whites. Pendant lights glow overhead, reflecting gently on wood countertops and ceramic jars lining the shelves. The barista has short auburn hair with a clean fade, a neatly groomed mustache, and black-rimmed glasses. He wears a fitted chambray shirt and dark apron, sleeves rolled to reveal heavily tattooed, muscular forearms as he works the portafilter. Steam curls upward in the soft light, emphasizing the contrast between his immense, sculpted physique and the quiet, careful ritual of making coffee—strength at rest, warmth against winter, and time slowed by routine.
