Great DoF and great textures. I can smell the coffee, and it's never too late to have a cup!

Hmm! I can remember the fresh coffee fruits from my land. It is particular when it is freshly harvested from the coffee tree. Nice shot!

Coffee anyone?

Thanks. I used a 100 mm prime lens. When you use such a lens and the subject is very clode the DOF is very small ( < 1 cm). I even took some shots at f/22 and still the front and back where unsharp.
