Cute 5-Year-Old Hipsters Can Make Espresso

I drank a lot of coffee at that age. My parents let me and my brother have decaf all the time. We never added sugar or cream, so decaf coffee was a much healthier choice than pop. Plus I think it amused my parents to watch waiter reactions when the kids order coffee.

A local coffee shop has a sign that says:
"Unattended children will be given an espresso and a puppy."

Sure they MADE an espresso, but what they REALLY made was a Cappuccino. That's not so terrible for a kid to drink, at least compared to a straight up espresso. Specially if they're sharing. As an Italian kid I grew up on a version of this but picture that all going in a cereal bowl with more warm milk than that, and then pieces of homemade italian bread put in there to soak. We'd eat that for breakfast all the time.

They are adorable! Cute video.

Cute, but why are they hipsters?

I think they used the adult for the wrist action needed for the milk pour.

Otherwise... kinda of cute if I knew the kids, but mostly meh.

This would make a good Mr. Rogers segment.

Aw, geez. Call me a buzzkill, but my first reaction was to think that 5 year olds + scalding hot liquids= a tragedy waiting to happen.

Steam and a 5 year old,Why not???
-And when you finish your coffee we're gonna shoot some cans in my backyard.

not to be a total hipster... but they made a latte

Squee! They're teeny baristas!!

"Cute, but why are they hipsters?"

Because anyone who doesn't drink drip Folgers is a hipster. duh!

These days it seems like if anyone involves themselves in creative activities or dresses themselves in cloths that didn't come from the shopping mall, they're labeled as a hipster. It wouldn't be a problem if that name didn't draw so much scorn.

To be fair, anyone can do what they did.

However, if we really really want to get totally hipster on this, we don't know if they pulled *good* shots of espresso. (shots that take too long or too little time to pour. It did look like the shots were streaming out consistently at least which is a good sign.) It can be a pain in the butt to pull a great shot from a manual machine like that. Also, they let the shots sit there forever while they prepared the milk, which is a no no.

Hmmmm...I see a career ahead...
