Every coffee I drank in January 2010

To commemorate the first 10 years I have lived in New York City, I decided to publish a series of three books in homage to my new hometown. The first one, “Every coffee I drank in January 2010”, pays tribute to one of New York’s greatest feats: the corner deli drip coffee.

Chronicling my coffee intake over one month, I collected the coffee cup lids of each consumed coffee. The lid becomes a white canvas, with the coffee stain revealing an unique pattern of use.

Each page shows the front view and date of the consumed coffee. The backside of the lid is placed on the next page.

A blank page signifies days when I did not get a coffee.

Last page: It was a pleasure to be served.
