The beans goes into the grinder and the smell of fresh coffee spreads like a mystic mist all over your flat... While you wait for the urn to do its job you close your eyes and inhale.
The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., "Over the Teacups," 1891
The coffee is now ready. Enjoy and appreciate it, think of it like one of the little things that may enhance your well being for this day.
I believe humans get a lot done, not because we're smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee. ~Flash Rosenberg : Source : http://www.quotegarden.com
Yes, grind your own beans by hand - get yourself an old style grinder and use your hands - slowly and deliberately - give it your full attention - it makes the coffee taste even better.
