Volume 7 Chapter 6: Espresso

An espresso machine. That was something Keith wanted to create today. It was something he wanted the moment he obtained the macao beans. Espresso and coffee were two different things. High pressure was required to make espresso. By doing this, the flavors were deeper than coffee. A fresh cup of espresso was great for the morning. 

Skar stared at the design, "I could make this."

"That's great! How long will it take?"

"About three hours." With the simplistic design, the invention could be built soon. 

"That's great. I will leave it all to you!"

"Then come back in a few hours." Skar grabbed the blueprints and got to work. 

I also have to do some things as well. Besides the creation of the espresso maker, Keith would also need to roast the macao beans. Roasting coffee beans made the flavors of the beans much different from regular ones.

"Keith, you're back?" Scarlet questioned. 

"Welcome home, Keith!" "Po," Fira and Mir rush at him. Keith smiled, "Mmhmm. But I'm going to leave a bit later."

"Huh?"

"Did you not get the item?" The others heard about Keith building an item.

"I need to make some things before I do it." Keith placed the macao beans on a pan. He turned the heat up and started to stir the beans. As he did, the beans started to grow darker. This should be good. There was a roasted smell coming from the beans. 

"I'm going to head out again." Keith dashed out of the mansion and back to the shop. 

"Skar, is it done?" 

"Mmhmm. I have it right here." Skar brought the instrument out. Staring at the machine, "Good work as always." 

"What are you going to do with it?" Skar was quite curious.

"I will show you. Got a stove?"

"Of course." Skar showed him the break room. When they were there, Keith started to do some things.

"Those beans?"

"They're going to be the thing that will make the flavor." Using a wind sphere, he grounded the beans down. Becoming a fine powder, he placed it into a funnel and filled the bottom section with water.

"The only thing we need to do now is wait for the water to boil." The pressure would create the espresso. Skar nodded. As the group waited, they could hear the sounds of something bubbling.

"It smells so rich." An aromatic air started to fill the workshop. It was rich and full. 

"And this is espresso." Keith smiled as he poured the drink out. It was enough to make two cups full, "Who wants to try?"

"I will do it since I helped make it."

"Please! Anyone could have made it!"

"You just got lucky!"

Some dwarves burst into the room when they heard that. An argument soon ensued between everyone. They all wanted to try this new drink! Well, it lasted for a few seconds. 

"What's going on?!" A loud shout caused everyone to calm down. Dalen had come down to check on them. 

"Boss," Skar and the other dwarves toned it down even more when they saw Dalen's furious expression. 

"Do you know I have a lot of work!" He couldn't get any work done with how much they were screaming.

"And what's with the smell?" Dalen started to sniff around. The smell was something. 

"It's coming from this, Dalen." Keith raised a cup in the air. 

"Isn't this the same thing I smelled from when you work?" As Keith worked on the cart, he would be drinking something. It had a similar smell to that.

"Ahh, this is a concentrated version of it."  

"Then I have to try." Dalen didn't hesitate as he grabbed the cup. He had been meaning to try it ever since Keith brought it. 

"So aromatic." Dalen was in awe of the taste, "I feel like my body is lighter."

"It's concentrated, so the flavor is more full." This was something Keith wanted. It was quite a unique taste.

"Brat." Keith turned around to see Skar and the other dwarves staring at him.

"Relax, I didn't forget about you." Keith started to get to work on the other cups. This whole ordeal lasted for half an hour. The entire break room was filled with the smell of espresso.

"It tastes so bitter!"

"My goodness!"

"I prefer my sweet food!"

So you guys aren't a fan of it. Well, espresso wasn't for everyone. Dalen looked at Keith, "Kid, I want one."

Only a handful of the dwarves like it. 

"Then you can ask Skar to make it. Here are the beans as well." Keith handed a bag of beans over to him as well. He had expected something like this to occur.

"Thanks a lot!"

"Don't mention it. I'm going to go now." Keith waved his hand. Now that he had gotten the espresso maker, drinking espresso would be the best.
