Bad Brew

Yeah – so I LOVE to make coffee. The smell, the steam, the essence of what I’m doing – I love it! I try to make it a couple of times a week in my Carraffe and here’s how it normally goes. I start to get excited as I boil the coffee. I carefully doll out the three scoops of the blessed black grounds. I pour the boiling water into the Carraff and then I carefully stir the grounds until they are thoroughly mixed with the water. I then place the lid on the Carraffe and wait for at minimum 5 minutes for the water to fully absorb the flavor of the beans. Finally, after waiting with anxious anticipation, I pour myself a cup of coffee that is brewed to perfection. I sniff and inhale the intoxicating aroma of the brew and then I take my first sip. I drink slowly at first, but pick up speed until I can feel the warmth and the caffeine surging through my body!
