Perfectionism is a trait I have and is most often my downfall,.. as those who also have this trait will understand,..it can, and does very often work against you. However,.. this trait has led me to develop a strong desire to be able to make myself the perfect coffee at home, consistantly,.with only the flavours of the beans and different blends giving a varied taste and interesting appeal.
I used to drinking instant coffee at home blerrrk!,.and at the same time became more and more dissatisfied with the coffee I was having when out and about, so developed my thoughts and desires of being able to make the perfect coffee at home.
So,.. with perfectionism taking hold,.. the persuit for the perfect coffee at home came at a price and I now have an espresso machine, a grinder to ‘grind on demand’ just enough for the cup/s,.. 10k+ of green beans (they last for over a year in this state when stored correctly) and a little home roaster. I’m currently making another roaster so I can roast larger than 100g at a time. I also have a tonne of other coffee making paraphernalia and a dedicated coffee cupboard phrrrt.
I now pour the perfect coffee at home,.way better and fresher than I have ever tasted in any cafe,.. but as tempting as it might be to try out my latest roasts/blends all day long,. I stick to two coffees in the morning,. and usually one or two in the afternoon/evening. So just because I have gone so far as to roast my own green coffee beans and ‘grind on demand’ to obtain the freshest possible coffee,..I’m not a coffee guzzler by any means,. I just desire ultra fresh coffee when I do have it.
I will talk more about my coffee obsession and discoveries and maybe you might be converted too,lol.
My kids occasionally have YouTube frenzies where they look for funny vids, and consequently we’re back on dialup speed for a few weeks each month *sigh*. Sometimes though they dig up some beauties, so I thought I would bring them here to give you a smile.
Here is a little doll that is so gorgeous and animated in her singing. Check out the emotion on her face,..what a cutie. I have watched this video quite a few times over the past 12 months and even love the tune myself as does my daughter. I’d love to know what she is singing though,lol.
