Hoon seems like a nice guy but I cannot believe this short has 4.7 MILLION views, showcasing how to use thousands of dollars worth of equipment and superfluous steps to make....what I'm positive was an awful tasting shot .

Could be what your seeing is "The Al-Gore-Rhythm ". Youtube has been promoting short vids. Of his six shorts with over 1million views, 3 have the word "ridiculous", two have the words "Shot collar" and the last one is "Coffee workflow".

Five olive oil-infused beverages were on the menu, including the golden foam espresso martini, which concluded the dinner.

In an online introduction, Howard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks, promoted the new coffee line as a "transformational idea" - his own - which came to him while he was traveling through Italy last summer. He called it, glowingly, "a unique alchemy of two of nature's most transcendent ingredients." ...
