Mindful Coffee

Life is short choose what you enjoy and choose quality.

Know your coffee. Check the roast date. ultimately it should be about two weeks prior to now.
Read where it's from. Make note of which you like.

Smell the whole beans.

There are so many ways to brew coffee.

Today we are doing Pour over. What a great method for focusing on mindfulness and happiness.

The more work the longer it takes, generally, the better something is.

Grinding by hand not only forces you to slow down but produces a superior coffee.

It also allows you to enjoy the aroma of the coffee as it is ground.

Notice the different in scent from the whole beans.

With many of these methods you will book the water yourself. This frees you from reliance on a Coffee machine.

Listen to the water flow and heat up. see it, smell it, feel it.

You want to set the filter fort to take out any thing that may affect the coffee flavor.

Place the coffee grounds I the filter.

Pour just a little bit of boiling water over your grounds. Watch as it absorbs, bubbles us, and released an aroma of steam.

Pour the boiling water over the grounds slowly. Do this in about 3 separate pours.

Again this is all about experiencing it. Smell it as it cools, feel the steam, feel the heat and weight of the cup.

Taste and enjoy your coffee. Sit with it. Don't drink and drive. Sit.
