Espresso Pour, Crema Physics

A matte ceramic cup sits centered on warm travertine, hard morning side-window light slanting across the scene. 0-2s: top-down macro of a thick crema-rich espresso stream falling from a polished portafilter, the surface blooming into a tiger-striped crema as steam curls off it. 2-3s: tilt to a low table-level angle, golden backlight igniting the rising vapor against deep shadow. 3-5s: a slow lateral truck around the cup as a single sugar cube drops, concentric ripples spreading through the crema in slow motion. 5-8s: settle on a hero three-quarter with the [brand] foil bag glinting behind. Liquid keeps believable viscosity and the crema reads as a continuous skin — no smearing, ghosting, broken-stream artifacts, or boil-up. Sound: gurgle of extraction, hiss of steam, a single ceramic clink.
