The perfect pour

Is there anything more satisfying than an expertly poured cup of coffee?

It begins with the whirring of fresh roasted coffee beans in the grinder. The finely ground coffee is tamped down and brewed into two dark, rich shots of espresso. The espresso is mixed with steamed soy milk then poured into a ceramic cup. The barista creatively adds his artful signature in the foam.

I sit by the window and sip this coffee masterpiece, close my eyes and sigh, “Ahhh.”

Satisfaction achieved!
