“Where did you hear about it?” The Pulp & The Bean coffee shop owner Tony Fisher asked the young Korean man who had just ordered his recently launched Dieci drink, which is nothing but 10 shots of pure espresso in a cup.

“A Korean paper? Wow, could you print it for me?” Fisher asked. “I want to hang it up.”

The young man told him the name of the paper as a woman behind the counter at the Crown Heights coffee shop prepared the massively caffeinated espresso drink. No milk and sugar, the man said.

He then asked Fisher to point him in the direction of the Brooklyn Museum. Fisher led the young man outside, in front of his Franklin Avenue shop, to show him the way.

The Korean man was carrying his 20-ounce paper cup filled with sleeplessness.
