This goes beyond just pushing a button on a machine. It's a quiet, mindful ritual for my mornings (and not only mornings, very i-work-from-home thing, right?). I've acquired a simple ceramic dripper, a gooseneck kettle for precise pouring, and a burr grinder for consistent grounds. The excitement is in the subtle experimentation and the pursuit of a flawless extraction. I'm learning how the coarseness of the grind, the temperature of the water, and the slow, circular pouring technique all combine to either create a cup that is bright, complex, and sweet, or one that is bitter and flat. Hope that I didn't just spend so much money on nothing and will turn out to be great. Loving coffee can be real expensive lol
