After a delightful Sunday lunch in January, I encountered this friendly gentleman as he prepared deux express with the enviable Cafés Richard machine, gleaming of chrome. After a brief exchange about visitors and Paris, he agreed to a photo, and I will be taking a print to him when I return, bien sûr!
So, now I long for a Cafés Richard expresso/cappuccino machine along with the CR cups.
I can taste that coffee still!

There's nothing quite as restorative as an excellent cup of coffee! That's a very impressive machine, I think he will be highly delighted to have featured on your blog Genie. I thought of doing a barista course once, but decided it was much more pleasant to sit and drink coffee than have the pressure of making it perfectly!!
Another warm and smiling face ~ I'm sure the coffee is extra-delicious when someone happy like this is making it. He'll be very chuffed when you return with a print, Genie.
such a big one! impressive! the barman seems very happy with it.
fabulous face, fabulous machine!
Enjoy your brew this morning.
I had to go to translations to look up bien sur...of course!
He looks like he is enjoying your attention!
Looks like my kind of place and I would love a cup of his coffee right now! Fun capture, love the smile! Hope you have a lovely weekend, Genie!

PS He seems very pleased to have the crazy americain lady to snap his photo! :)
Those machines make the most delicious cofee and when it is served with a smile it is even better.
Happy fellow!
Love, love, love the pose! He looks so proud and pleased to have his picture made with that awesome, gleaming machine!
What a lovely shot. It's quite timeless.
I just had my today's seventh Nespresso! Of course a coffee in a café is always the best! :-)
Service with a smile. How could it be otherwise for the charming American wanting to snap his photo.
He certainly seems to be a happy camper. What a smile! I bet he will be surprised when you go back with a picture for him.
The man has a charmingly awkward way of carrying himself. Nice portrait.
He looks like a happy guy.
Wonderful!!
Tom, it is indeed a small world and yet halfway around the world we have encountered the same friendly Parisian... and the enviable (bien sûr) Cafés Richard machine.
