コーヒー

Some people are like a cup of good coffee to me.

I am a morning people. I don’t even know since when I need to stay awake if and only the aroma of coffee flows through my nose and the warm cup of coffee touches my lips. I honestly can say I think I am addicted to this caffeinated beverage yet they got no effect to me. I am guessing this is the inheritance from the last few generations that love coffee so much in my family.

Speaking of parents, they are much to blame in this coffee obsession. When I was young, in the morning time my house was always full of the aroma of coffee, or more often called it Kopi-O because of that association with good memories, I believe that it is where this coffee obsession began. 

So, I start to observe one of my friends that work as a barista in a coffee shop. She will first grind the coffee bean and then pour them into a filter and add water. Then she sets the coffee maker to brew, and it handles the rest. Usually this takes about four minutes, the coffee scent if flowing through the whole café. It required patient and time to select the good beans and serve it to the customers.

Many people make the mistake of adding cream before sugar, I always add sugar first because the hotter the coffee the faster and better the sugar dissolves. This is because every single steps matter to have a cup of good coffee. Even though we might make mistake sometime, that’s okay because no man is ever perfect in this world. A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

Finally, the masterpiece is finished, and it is time to enjoy. I can now start my day.
