a single bean was grinded manually and then brewed using a small paper filter. the water was then heated using a miniature candle and poured over the coffee filter using a small ladle. with a few drops of rich coffee, zanotto serves a small cup in a miniature glass. in order to demonstrate the tiny scale of the serving, zanotto photographed his work next to the eraser of a pencil.
