We recently had a wonderful visit with my cousin Mariah, whom we hadn't seen in several years. As a regional manager for multiple Starbucks stores, she has really gotten to know and appreciate coffee. Curious, I asked her what type she preferred, how she liked to drink it, as well as what expresso machine she'd personally used or recommended? I imagined the machine she uses must cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars and the best coffee would be something relatively expensive. I was surprised to find out that, while she has sampled just about every imaginable type of coffee and expression thereof, she prefers both the taste and simplicity of running hot water over a simple filter or even more simply, a sock. She and her husband Doug had experienced drinking coffee this way in South America. Wow! Isn't that cool? Yet another great example of someone choosing and appreciating simplicity over chasing. Who needs an expensive machine and high priced coffee? Thank you Mariah. Heh babe, is this sock clean? Hmmm...this is a good cup of coffee.
