I haven�t always loved coffee. At first I found it bitter and terrible despite its intoxicating aroma. In graduate school, however, I finally gave in when I was around daily coffee drinkers who initiated me into its glories. Would I call myself a coffee connoisseur? Maybe. But the thing I am certainly a connoisseur of is the ritual. The ritual of measuring the beans perfectly. Grinding them just so. Carefully measuring and pouring the water. Adding just the right touch of milk (whole, please) to the final product. That is my favorite part. Not the boost in energy, which truthfully has waned over the years as my habituation has become entrenched. The addiction to the ritual remains strong and is one of the true joys of my day.
