In my office we have a coffee connoisseur.
He makes his cup of Joe in a French press twice a day with incredible meticulousness. First, he coarse grinds his beans at his desk by hand with a little manual machine. Then he puts it in his press, pours boiling water in it and gives it a stir. He waits precisely 4 minutes to the second before pushing down on the plunger and pouring the brew into his mug, mixing it with some hot milk he has just microwaved. It’s an absolute symphony to watch the preciseness of it all. It’s also so much damn work.
Me? I watch it in bemusement with my cup of drip Kirkland brand coffee. It’s the cheaper and easier way to get what I want – just like my investments.
