Really had to get creative with the lighting here to properly expose

A) the scale readout (too much light will wash it out)

B) the shiny reflective metals and whites

C) getting enough light into the cup to properly expose the espresso. (reduce light for metal shineness, you're also reducing the light on the crema, which absorbs light)
