A Good Cup

Part of my morning routine involves brewing coffee. I'm not as fanatical as some folks, but I try to use a decent bean and filtered water. I follow the same routine pretty much every morning. I'm not super precise in my measurements but given that I was alseep just a few minutes earlier, I think I do okay. The coffee rarely comes out bad and is usually pretty good. But, every now and then the stars align and I get just a perfect blend. It's the kind of stuff that makes you want to pour a big cup and go sit on the back porch and sip (I felt that way even before we had a back porch). It's so good it makes me wish I had another coffee lover with me so I could share my awesome creation. This morning's coffee was not awesome but it was close. Close enough to remind me that wonderful coffee was still possible and that it could happen anytime.
