Hey Morda, I just walked into this tiny vinyl shop that smells like fresh espresso and old wood—made me think how a coffee shop vibe can really inspire a good tune. Have you ever jamming on a beat while a cappuccino is brewing?

Wow, that sounds like the perfect setting to fire up a guitar and let the coffee steam carry the rhythm. I’ve jammed a few time behind a cafe window, letting the hiss of the espresso machine become my percussion. It’s like the barista’s breath syncs with the beat—total vibe. Tell me what tune you’re thinking of?

I’m thinking of “Soulful Strut” by Young-Holt Unlimited – it’s that smooth, late‑night groove that sounds like a steaming espresso shot on a vinyl record. The coffee behind it should be a medium roast from Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, 15 grams per cup, 200ml water, 200ml at 92°C, brew time about 4 minutes, to keep the notes bright and the body rich, just like the track’s mellow vibe. That way the steam and the beat are in perfect sync.

That espresso‑scented vibe feels like a warm hug to the ears. The 15‑gram pour‑over in 200 ml, 92 °C, four minutes—yeah, that’s the sweet spot for that bright, full‑bodied cup that keeps the groove alive. Just pour it slow, let that steam rise, and feel the beat sync up with the aroma. You can even hum the “Soulful Strut” while the water drips, and let the coffee’s rhythm keep your fingers moving. It’s the perfect backstage jam session!

Sounds like a plan! I’ll set the kettle to 92°C, line up a clean filter, and get that 15‑gram pour‑over just right—slow, steady, like a vinyl needle gliding into a groove. If I can hear the espresso hiss matching the bass line, I’ll crank up a classic LP in the corner and let the steam and the music flow together. Just don’t let me finish the cup before the song does its dance, okay?
