Nothing but respect for Nicely.

[@Frostbitten.]

He makes a differentiation between cortado and Gibraltar yet does a cortado incorrectly by texturing the milk... lol

[@TimWayneSF]

The Gibraltar has been my drink of choice for years. And now I know the history! Thanks, Nicely! Well done.

[@Dangarangg]

The story behind the two drinks is pretty awesome. Good knowledge!

[@martinceja1679]

Love seeing the passion behind great coffee making. Nice video!

I love the cali beach cities because of the culture around coffee, craft beer, and friendly vibes! Definitely want to meet this cat and get to know him! Shoutout from Daygo !

[@alphahorn6163]

I’m in Colorado and I’ll say, I might go to California partially for that coffee shop lol

[@renaldyfernando5834]

love the soundtrack

[@luisval6990]

I could almost smell and taste both drinks!

[@jayd515]

neat little video. Im no coffee connoisseur but the barista at my nearby coffee the last 2 times has given me a "cortado" in a small (north american small) takeout cup but filled to the brim with milk (which is about a 7-8oz cup)... I knew something was off and watched this video with the purpose of giving her a constructive criticism - cheers!

[@ManusiaOpia]

[@maan698]

[@Prathik1989]

[@DerekGTaylor]

That's The Park "Das Bass"

[@Prathik1989]

[@Fengshawn86]

Awesome video. Love your style and your attitude.

[@3liyyahu591]

Was that raw cane sugar?

[@noraalhajeri8122]

Still confused between a machiato ,cortado and flat white🤔

[@alexandraSashY]

All good but isn’t the drink named after the British territory Gibraltar? I’m sure it had its name before the glass. Lol

[@burakakpinar5739]

Looks like he has been to spain, cortado comes in glass in spain, give cortado like that, u ll start explaining your philosopy to the walls

[@Xiia0Sn00pY]

did he just knock the portafilter?

[@Fairness2000]

Yep.....🙁

[@DES.S.O.O]
