The Ritual of Morning Coffee

Jun 22nd, 2010 Posted in Coffee and Health, Coffee Clubs | No Comments »

For many people, the act of preparing and drinking a cup of coffee has moved past the point of being something simple and instead has become an enjoyable ritual. They find a calm pleasure in preparing the coffee, in its aroma as it’s brewing, in adding and mixing the ingredients, and especially in enjoying that first sip. People find comfort in ritual, and preparing your morning cup of coffee can be a fine example if that.

I used to be the average cup-of-coffee morning drinker. I had my mug, my non-dairy creamer, and some sweetner. I drank whatever was brewing in the break room and drank it, not really noticing how it tasted. It was habit, more than anything, that drove me to the coffee pot in the morning.

Then I found out about the French Press. Actually, my wife discovered it – I bought her one for Mother’s Day and she brewed coffee with it that very morning. Not expecting anything special, I also had a cup. Imagine my delight when I really tasted coffee for the first time!

The coffee at work is made with a standard drip coffee maker that uses a paper filter. I’ve since learned that paper filters out most of the essential oils, and. with them, the real flavor of the coffee. A French Press preserves the true flavor and leaves the essential oils intact. The difference is as great at that between black and white.

And the flavor is a much larger part of the coffee experience than I imagined. Side by side, there is no comparison between the coffee brewed with a French Press and the coffee from a drip coffee maker. Add in a true gourmet coffee, like that available from the Gevalia Coffee Club, and you’ll really experience how truely great coffee can be.

Now my morning routine has moved past simply pouring some ill-made coffee on top of some powdered creamer. I fill my one-cup French Press with hot – almost boiling – water, then add a single scoop of Gevalia coffee. Let steep for 5 minutes, then pour into my cup. Add little bit of whole milk, a tablespoon of honey, and my coffee making ritual is complete.

The ritual would be pointless if I used the inexpensive coffee available in the big tin cans at the grocery store. Don’t settle for less. Indulge in a true gourmet coffee, be it Gevalia, or Starbucks or some other recognized brand. Your morning cup of coffee can be so much more than a cup of hot, dark, bitter liquid. Turn it into a truly enjoyable experience, and a kick-start your day on a note of pleasure rather than resignation.
