Affogato/Onyx 580ALR arrived, and it looks great! It was tricky photograph the color accurately (and be in focus). As usual, it looks, feels, and writes great like any other TWSBI Diamond 580ALR. Price was the same as previous LE/Onyx models, so no increases there yet.

I upgraded my KWZ It Smells Like Coffee sample to a full bottle, too. Seemed like a natural fit. Now I just hope the scent stays pleasant, like the sample, and isn't a trigger.

The pen is is clear plastic with metallic medium brown accents. The nib and clip are dark gray, almost black. The writing sample reads "KWZ Smells Like Coffee / TWSBI Diamond 580ALR Affogato/Onyx" in medium brown ink.

Only the nib and front of the pen section are in focus, the writing sample is legible near the front but much blurrier in the toward the top of the photo.

The bottle of ink is labeled "KWZ It Smells Like Coffee" and has a sketch of a woman holding a coffee cup, the name of the ink is in white between the woman's face and the coffee cup.
